How to revert from DumaOS?
Hello, I'm looking how to revert back to standard NetGenie firmware on my XR300.
I don't want to use DumaOS anymore, I want to use a third-party firmware as I believe they will be better since I don't receive firmware updates anymore anyway.
How do I revert to NetGenie? My router came shipped with it. I don't want to use buggy, flawed DumaOS anymore.

I don't have the XR300 to compare with but I wasn't aware it every had stock netgear firmware on it without dumaOS. I have seen 3rd party options for flashing it but you won't find that on the official forums.
- Hello, I am unaware of how to because the file type required for flashing is .chk
but every firmware update I find does not fit this file. I just need to know if it’s possible to revert to stock firmware. I can’t find anything on it so I’m kinda doubting it’s possible at this point.
- The XR300 came with DumaOS by default and there is no official firmware for it other than what is available now, therefore as mentioned above it's not something we can help with.
