Choice between XR700 or X10
I am looking to replace an old WNDR3700 with either the XR700 or the X10 routers. I know they're essentially the same hardware (though I'm sure there has to be some revisions to the hardware) and you...
Thanks for all the responses, much appreciated!
It's a cable modem that this device will be connected to. A Motorola SURFBoard (SBG6782-AC) that connectes to Comcast/Xfinity. I own it so I can turn off all the features that could possible get in the way of whatever Nighthawk I get.
I also understand that any company releases updates at will I guess my question was more wanting to know how regular are they? The X10s page appears that their updates are pretty regular however they're only relying on NG's updates. The XR700 is relying on both NG and Duma. So if NG finds a security problem will they wait for an update from Duma before issuing that update or just send out that update with their current version of DumaOS?
I am also curious about some of the reviews I've read on the X10 vs the XR700. Granted most of the reviews are done with initial hardware and software versions but the 700 tends to come out ahead in most reviews. Could that trend continue as software updates release?
I will probably be getting it from Amazon and they have a decent return policy.
NG always decide when a firmware is to be released, if for example there was an issue on either side firmware may be delayed until it is resolved. I've worked with both teams and they are exceptional at what they do. If a firmware doesn't come out as fast then it is for a good reason. Our aim with DumaOS is to make it the single best router operating system on the planet, we will constantly improve it and bring out new features.
