Thanks for the video! I have been getting great results mitigating buffer bloat with my R3! Wooohoooo

Great video man! i am loving my R3 it is amazing!

Good video and guide. I have the Asus TUF AX-3000 router and have found though lots of testing, that by limiting the Adaptive QoS to a maximum cap of 300Mbps is the only way to completely eliminates Bufferbloat on this router. So far this provides a consistence A+ score with 0ms latency added for both download and upload. My unloaded latency is 4-5ms on a 500Mbps symmetrical fibre connection. I believe the main limitation is due to the router CPU bottleneck which means I will need to upgrade if I wish to benefit from the full bandwidth of my connection.

Great video. Thanks for the information I got an A+

Loved the video! I usually do my bufferbloat tests through my Xbox series x and I know u said to make sure no gaming is happening. What do u suggest? I just figured doing bufferbloat through my Xbox would be more accurate.

Ping King's awesome video as always . I'm wonder when they are planning on releasing the update for the R2. Because there should be nothing holding them back from it being released. It's not like they can say it's net gear router on they are waiting for netgear to release it very disappointed with how they are going about. Smh

The R2 will get it eventually.

Thanks for all the videos thus far, they really help. I have 2 questions. 1. What kind of modem do you have? 2. Do you know if you can turn off the wifi on the netduma?

@LowPingKing

Using a Motorola modem & yes wifi can be shut off.

Is there an option in R3 settings to enable / disable “Traffic Prioritisation”? Similar to XR500?

Quick question… under smart boost if I’m playing call of duty should I move that up to number 1 prioritized over gaming? Does it matter? Look forward to ur answer! Really appreciate ur videos! Keep it up!

@@LowPingKing awesome! Thank you! Also, hope ur continuing to feel well brotha and u have a blessed new year!

soo i just bought it today the ping op wont run it keeps saying you ran into a error same thing with trying to do a speed test ? thoughhtsss

After a lot of tinkering etc I find the best results is by knocking 10% off your isp throughput so for example your isp gives you 500 drop it done to 450 and same with upload knock that off 10%. I think this is due to the 3rd party speed test duma use. It’s not up to scratch but is workable. I 4ms upload and 3ms on download. Before I was putting in my isp throughput speeds I was only getting A scores not A+

@LowPingKing

Everybody's results are going to be different when doing buffer bloat testing! 10% may work for you and not for others.

so you are of the opinion that waveform delivers better results than the current test from dumaos?

@LowPingKing

6 ай бұрын

Waveform is fairly accurate and well-known that's why I used it as my example.

Can anyone tell me how to get gaming activity to show on the R3 homepage. No matter how many hours of gaming I do it never shows gaming activity, always stays at 0s, but it does show video activity. BTW i do have gaming as my top and only priority under smart boost.

@LowPingKing

6 ай бұрын

It's been flawless for me however I've seen one other person report something similar on the forums. When you go to smart boost and you're playing a game does it light up? If so it's working properly just not tracking for some reason?! I'd report it along with your ISP & modem. Forum.netduma.com

what can i expect doing this over wifi? i cannot get good upload results on a 1200/40 plan. also should my bandwidth speeds be set to my wifi speed test or ethernet speed test?

@LowPingKing

6 ай бұрын

Wi-Fi test will be less accurate. Set your speeds to your ethernet speeds. Try to do tests over ethernet if possible.

The XR routers are NOT getting DumaOS 4! In my opinion if you own an XR router it's time to move on. My XR500 is now completely retired. Netgear has shown no love for the partnership they have an incredibly small team of only a couple people working on all the XR routers! That's why NetDuma has not been able to push big updates for years.

Ping optimizer and speed test straight up aren’t working after upgrading to .23 and factory resetting. Thing is super bugged

@LowPingKing

They use an outside test Mlabs & sometimes it goes down. Enter your own speeds via any other speed test. Average best two of three. Then use a website like waveform for buffer bloat testing. Be aware currently IPv6 qos is bugged and not working properly. Best to shut off IPv6 on WAN & LAN then reboot. IPv6 qos was working right before Christmas break so I'm sure they can get it back fairly quick.

@LowPingKing

@RamboUnchained can you elaborate when you mean same speeds as xr1000. Are you just talking about Wi-Fi? I'll be making a Wi-Fi video soon. If you're on Android and I'm not sure if iOS has it there's a great app called Wi-Fi man. It'll help you find the best channels for your setup. My speeds on Wi-Fi increased dramatically once I used Wi-Fi man to set the appropriate channels and width. Another thing that's causing confusion is smart boost will always try to adjust things for best performance. For Wi-Fi testing it's the same as wired. Yet you also have to make sure to set channels and width properly if you want Max speeds.

For any of you lot that are struggling with steady ping only use steady ping is you already have an unstable connection for example WiFi connection. If you’re LAN connection turn that shit off. I had to email netduma a few times about crazy input delay on LAN connection, steady ping isn’t meant for LAN connection. Just a heads up for those who are screaming at their router 😂

⁠@@LowPingKing not what the forums say bud, Fraser the tech specialist on the forums said disable it for the time being as it’s causing geo filter issues. Atm on 0.23 update basically have to turn everything off for the geo filter settings to work efficiently. It’s a decent product but to me it hasn’t been tested properly pre release. IPV6 also is causing mayhem
