djhixson88 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I've had my Netduma for a few days now, have tried many different setups, currently at the suggested settings which is about a 600 mile radius, and 50ms ping assist. My other settings are: download cap and upload cap set to 100% on reactive. All my devices are evenly distributed as don't have a bandwidth problem living alone. I have Upnp Forwarding enabled, multicast snooping enabled, and cookies enabled. Also have bleeding edge and auto cloud enabled. My location is in southwest ohio in the us. So my question is, are the dedicated hosts just that bad where I live? I'm almost never getting into games below a 50ms ping, and even if it is sub 50ms, it'll just spike above 50ms and overall just feel unstable. however I've had games say 16ms sometimes and just sit at 34ms which felt great. Any suggestions would be great. I've also tried Raddy's settings which was setting the radius to about 250 miles and ping assist to 0ms. also have tried having the radius at about 400 miles and ping assist to 30ms. but I can't consistently find good games and it sucks you can't black list dedicated servers. Oh well. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. I know this router does what it says, just sort of stuck currently. Also sorry about the long post! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djhixson88 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 just did a speed test on one of the links someone suggested on their post. so, bufferbloat could be my issue <a href="http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/2143391"> <img src="http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/2143391.png"></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FQs19 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 You should move the sliders down to get an A+ or A on bufferbloat. Try 70% on each. If you get an A+ with 70% you could increase them a couple % until your bufferbloat score drops then reduce the slider until you get an A+ again. Getting an A+ on bufferbloat cured my problems of being behind the action. The dedis on the east coast by me have horrible jitter so i moved my geo to Michigan and I'm getting great games.

The only way I can get an A not even an A+ is if I lower the sliders to 10% each thus killing the quality and speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FQs19 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Can you provide some more info? ISP? Modem Model? Configuration (Modem>Netduma>Console or something else)? Speeds? Are you on 1.3.05? Did you do a Factory Reset after upgrading? What are the results of running the Netduma Internet Diagnosis? Post a screenshot of the top of your Geo Filter.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 5, 2015 Administrators Share Posted December 5, 2015 You could do it at 10% just when gaming as gaming doesn't use much bandwidth so you should still have plenty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you on 1.3.05? Did you do a Factory Reset after upgrading? What are the results of running the Netduma Internet Diagnosis? Post a screenshot of the top of your Geo Filter. I'm with TIme Warner, actually work for em ha, though I don't use our modem, I have a customer owned modem, it's a Zoom Cable Modem, 1094 series, and I just have the netduma hooked to it with the cable that was sent, I don't run two routers, no need. and yeah i'm on 1.03.5, no did not factory reset after upgrading, didn't know I was supposed to. can't get the screen shot to post, but I have the location as southwest ohio at a 603.35 radius and 50ms ping assist. strict mode on, peer ping disabled, only two things I have ticked are auto ping host and strict mode.

Post a screenshot of the top of your Geo Filter. oh and the results of the diagnosis was ping was just "ok" at like an average of 38ms. Jitter and Spikes are both exceptional and no packet loss.

FQs19 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Try moving your home location so that the geo doesn't cover Ohio, where you live. Ping Assist to 0 and increase the filter with 2 snaps. 3 snaps if you can't find a game. Once I moved the geo a couple states away from me, the games have been spot on, except for the occasional lagger. I always do a factory reset on every upgrade. It clears the NVRAM.

djhixson88 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 How far do you think I should move it? I'll factory reset it when I get home. Also, in misc settings what would you suggest? And preemptive or reactive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FQs19 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Mine home is just outside the filter using 2 snaps. try that. If you don't get a game quick use 3 snaps but move it so you don't include where you live. Everyone seems to say that Reactive is better. That is what I use, but I need to use Reactive for my speeds.

djhixson88 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 All right I'll try that. I'm right at the cutoff where it suggests to use reactive lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretface Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I currently use 70 down and 9 up at bandwidth and 70 or 80 on sliders and it works pretty good. what I did to get all A's was keep adjusting until I got it that way. My normal down is 180 and up 12. I also have the duma behind another router so I don't have to change just for gaming. I made a post about this but Lukasz made a much more detailed post just recently. I also have mtu at 1384. I'm on xbone. I use no ping assist and have my geo set from kansas to the east coast with wife mode on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FQs19 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I followed the steps to update and then the steps to attain my speeds then adjusted the sliders for bufferbloat. on Misc. page i just have Auto Cloud, bleeding Edge, multicast snooping, upnp forwarding, cookies and turbo for my speeds, checked. Also if you don't use VPN, make sure that is disabled. It is on by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djhixson88 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 I'll try what you guys suggest shortly. Also, probably need to point out I've got bad levels on my upstream, my SNR return should be in the mid to high 30s and its barely in the 30s. I do know that can sometimes cause packet loss. I'm sure bufferbloat is part of it too. Not enough to make a huge difference but still worth pointing out to those who are pulling their hair out over their internet when it's out of their control lol. I'll do some tweaking and let you guys know. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FQs19 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I would have Time Warner come out to check your levels and for any noise on the line. I had an issue with noise both from my neighbors and from the cable coming from the drop. There was a hole in the insulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djhixson88 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 I've had a tech out already. It's a maint issue due to it being an apartment. From the tap up to my apartment is no issue. But from the tap on out to i think the hub is where there's an issue. Sucks since its technically non impacting it won't get attention by maint anytime soon.
