Geo-Filter (1 of 3)
The main cause of lag in online games such
as Call of Duty, Fortnite, Apex Legends and
FIFA is the distance from you to the host or
server of your game.
The Geo-Filter is unique because it limits the
distance of these hosts or servers. The effect
on your game will be very noticeable, with
improved response time and fairer gameplay.
Step 1: Getting Started
A) Click Add Device and select your device.
B) If a device is not listed, make sure it is
connected to the Netduma R2.
C) If your device is not a console (e.g. a PC),
select the PC game you will be playing.
Step 2: Set your Home
A) Click on the Home Pin icon on the map.
B) Click on where you are located on the world
map as accurately as you can to set this as
your home. To look closer, use the Zoom icon.

Ping Graph
Ping shows the connection quality (the ping)
from you to the connection you have selected
on the map. This is measured in milliseconds.
With Auto Ping Host enabled in the Geo-filter
submenu, you can automatically ping your
game's host and unlock advanced connection
statistics e.g. Tickrate
A ping of <100ms is considered to be good for
gaming online.
Allow and Deny
Allow your device to connect with another
player or server when they are outside your
Geo-Filter radius. This can be used to play with
distant friends.
Deny your device from connecting to another
player or server when they are inside your
Geo-Filter radius. Use this to avoid nearby
laggy hosts.
Click on a connection’s icon on your Geo-filter
Map and in the Ping panel that opens, give it a
name and choose either Allow or Deny.

QoS (1 of 3)
QoS
When devices in your home are using all the
bandwidth, it creates congestion. This causes
lag, especially for online games.
QoS gives you the complete toolset to solve
this problem.
Step 1: Getting Started
A) Open the Anti-Bufferbloat submenu.
B) Enter the bandwidth speeds you receive
from a wired speed test on a PC or Laptop.
C) Click Always to enable Anti-Bufferbloat. If
you just want it to activate when you are
playing games, select When High Priority
Traffic Detected.
D) Lower both the Download and Upload
sliders to 70%. This prevents greedy devices
from using more than 70% of your bandwidth.

With Bandwidth Allocation, you can control
how your bandwidth is shared across all of
your devices.
Step 2: Set your Allocation
A) Select Download on Bandwidth Allocation.
B) Drag the percentage node next to a device
to change its bandwidth allocation. By default,

QoS (3 of 3)
Traffic Prioritization
Network congestion creates a queue, which
forces games and other fast applications to
wait.
Traffic Prioritization guarantees that these
fast applications will always be placed at the
front of the queue, reducing lag.
Step 3: Set up Traffic Prioritization
A) Traffic Prioritization will detect and
prioritise a preset list of games on all devices
by default. This covers all console games and
most PC games.
B) Traffic Prioritization Information shows a
red circle when this is taking effect.
C) To add a game that has not automatically
been detected, click Add Device to add a
service to Traffic Prioritization.
D) Select a device from the Device Selector.
E) Select a service or ports to prioritize.
