100% agreement with OlegP

 

I've had the XR500 since it came out and the only meaningful Duma update I see is the ability to view my Network Map as a table vs the tree map ... which is a visual mess if you have many computers/phones/people/iot/smarthome devices.  I've pursued both Duma forums and Netgear forums ... and there is a lot of finger pointing back and forth.  It's not clear who owns the underlying router functions

 

This router might be good in a house 10-20 devices, but more than that and sometimes the visual interface makes everything more difficult.

  • Lookup a device by MAC addresss?  nope
  • Export a device list? nope

  • Ability to monitor OpenVPN connections to the router?  nope
    • Router doesnt show connected devices
    • IP range is outside of DHCP, and non-configurable

Some of the things you've mentioned are possible such as sort by MAC/IP and some will be possible in future updates. It's important to remember that we wanted to create an easy to use gaming router, things like logs do not affect gameplay performance at all. More niche/usual router functions like that can come later based on customer feedback which we listen to constantly.
