Developer Blog 1: The Future of DumaOS: Version 3.0
Last year we released our first major update for DumaOS, Milestone 1.3. You guys loved it, so we quickly got to work on the next milestone, packing it full of features to make your Nighthawk P...
I think a high percentage of people that spent big money on a gaming router has unlimited internet, hope us guy and gals are not spending to much time and resourses on things like that. lol I think you should stick to the selling points of the router, a better gamming experince.
We're expanding DumaOS beyond just gaming. We're trying to make the best router operating system around.
it would be nice if the gaming part was perfected before going off on any other type of stuff, I mean it is the nifgthawk GAMING router. just my opition .
I sure you guys know this already and the numbers are not out for 2019, in the top 2 games sold in 2018 , call of duty was one of them. if you could maybe fix the geo-filter for cod, that would be a good start.
- Can you add to this update where I can pick the closest server to me! I live in Washington an In Call of Duty. I keep connecting to the Origon Server for the COD Datacenter in California. When the router should root me to the Seattle one when I have Filter Mode on. I feel that Geo-Filter has not been working right when I set my Matchmaking to a 500 Mile Radius an have my State in the entire Area to Canada so I can avoid being connected to the Origon server or the one in Los Angela's. Unless I'm not understanding what Geo Filter does. But it does give me the ping I desire I'd like to get lower than 30 if possible. I'm for sure if I'm always connected to the Seattle Modern Warfare server my ping ingame should be 15ms instead of keep connecting to the one in Los Angela's that gives me 30ms.
Hopefully this means we can actually set our DHCP lease time. Other high-end routers let you do this. The DHCP lease renewal is all it takes to get kicked from Gran Tourismo Sport multiplayer and I'm using a static IP address on a LAN cable outside of the DHCP range.
The XR500 is a POS. I've had it for 2 years, but I've never noticed how inconvenient it is until this COVID-19 mess. Couple that with the terrible update schedule and horrible customer service (takes 4+ hours to get an answer by phone), I'm not buying another Nighthawk, or other Netgear router, once I get around to replacing it.
First Netgear router I purchased and, sadly, the last I will be buying for the forseeable future. An Asus RT-AX88U or RT-AC5300 has more features than this router for pretty much the same price as the current generation Nighthawk.
Never seen an inconvience with my XR router pre and current CD19 events. Not sure why current events would cause problems with your router. Yes CD19 is causing slow downs for support. Goes for any router mfr and there support. Its effecting everything.
Did you even try reverting back FW versions or go with initial first version FW? Seems like more troubleshooting would be needed to really figure out where your problem is other than being inconvienced by the slow down which no can help you with currently. :smileytongue:
