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...
Hey, any actual ETA on any of this because like everyone else on these support forums I'm really losing my patience with the XR500 router? The list of bugs and glitches is just unacceptable in a $300 piece networking equimpent, especially since there haven't been any timely firmware updates of any acutal substance at all.
I still can't use IPv6 without killing off the router's main QOS features. The USB print share still doesn't work at all on the latest Windows build. Fugly and sometimes broken UI. The Network Monitor is a joke and so is the Device Manager since neither of them are giving accurate readings at all. These are just a few things that I can think off the top of my head at the moment as I'm writing this and I can only imagine what surprises that other users are enduring.
XR500 is trully a gift that keeps on giving the longer you use it. At this point the product really seems like a half-baked abandonware that's constantly riding on top of empty promises. I don't know whether Netgear or Netduma is to blame here, but neither one of them will own up to the problems and provide a solid answer.
Data History? Seriously? For F's sake. Fix your product. Patch out the bugs so that we can actually use the damn router like it was originally intended. Unfortunately, I feel it's all just falling on deaf ears and these routers are abandoned like the rest of Netgear's consumer grade line of products.
If your having problems with the router, please contact NG support and let them know what your having problems with. Ask for an RMA.
