Feature requests for XR500
Hello After using this lovely device I have several suggestions to improve it. Not sure how many of them can be done, but anyways here I go. - Integration with security products, like Bitdefe...
This one is unlikely, as DumaOS isn't open source I doubt we'd want people to be tinkering with the backend. I'll float the idea to the team though.
Firewall request; Ability to block computers via hostname and MAC addresses. If possible, ability to enter multiple entries at once. For example I have now 90 unknown devices in my device manager list. I want to block them all and forbid them even trying to access my network.
Content filtering improvement; Ability to block IP addresses.
- I've added them to the list, thanks!
Features request:
1) Usage history instead of just real time reporting.
2) More details about what is using the internet and going through the router. i.e specific names of software rather than the generics I am seeing in Dumo OS. Having used ASUS software, the details and history are key to understanding and troubleshooting issues. I am not home during the day and my wife is and works from home (she's not a tech person) so when she compalins about something on our network, these features are needed.
3) More device types for the drop down list in device manager. Common ones such as Roku, Chromecast, PS4, Xbox, Extender, adapter, etc are not listed.
4) Device manager needs to list all IP addresses of devices on network. This is not happening for devices using ethernet behind MOCA adapters and ASUS routers could show the IP addresses. The Nighthawk app has too many issues to be of much help in these areas as well.
5) When I set bandwith parameters for devices these dont stay fixed. Everytime a new device is added, including a guest with a phone, the bandwith gets redsitriubted. Should be a button to lock certain devices, say if I set one to use 20%. don't recalculate everytime a new device hits the network.
