The Netduma router has a preferred list of games, including Call of Duty, Destiny, Halo 3, and FIFA 15. Looking online found plenty of opinions on the Netduma R1, but a lack of metrics that could quantitate the performance. The company’s website is well done, with videos showcasing the features, and a whole section of user reviews extolling the virtues of this device, of how it increased their kill ratio in their favorite FPS- which is anecdotal, and hardly scientific. In fact, when we heard the claim of “The Ultimate Gaming Router,” which the company boldly emblazons on the box, we just had to get our hands on one. Launched in December of 2014, the Netduma R1 router seeks to address many of the issues that gamers experience. With all of this variability in prioritization of data, it is hard to know what the best approach to prioritize game traffic is, and finally there is a lack of information on what this data shaping is actually doing to enhance the gaming performance. Many routers today claim to prioritize traffic, with some doing it by the client, others via QoS (Quality of Service), and the third possibility via both mechanisms. there's a little netgear sticker on the bottom of it. found out this isn't the original power-supply. PS note: a nice feature: power-supply comes with a switch. everyone can make it's own tentative conclusions. While a 951G-2HnD with ROS is around 70€. for gamers and for non-Netduma-employees: not possible. So with no CLI-access (or none that I've found) an on-box debug of that anti-lagging-functionality. lot of parameter-descriptions transmuted to gamer-slang.

There's no other access to the box then an unencrypted web-gui (cozy designed, that I have to give. The special QoS-code prevents/decreases the gamers network-environment from "lagging" (which is ordinary said: latency). Strolled into the Netduma-forum, where the Netduma-CTO claims, that the machine contains proprietary QoS-functionality, which makes the system unique and the best "Gaming-Router" on the market. Not much functionality left, from what you can get, if ROS or an 'open' OpenWRT is installed.
