Questions before buying XR500
Hello I moving to a new flat and I will have 900mbit symmetrical internet speed. Internet connection will be provided via ethernet cable and I won't have access to ISPs main router below apartmen...
- Please keep it civil. We're here to give Naxterra advice on what router to purchase.
Hi Naxterra, I also work for Netduma (creators of DumaOS). If you did end up purchasing the XR500 I would also very likely be the one giving you technical support on the forums should you need it.
Out of the options you listed the XR500 as far as I am aware is the only one that has actually built an entire router operating system from scratch. That means we are able to develop new features very quickly. We have a massive roadmap in front of us and we haven't even hit the tip of the iceberg yet.
As others have said the XR500 can handle all your devices no problem! Regarding NAT for PS4, UPnP, Port Forwarding or putting it in the DMZ will open the console's NAT.
Hi.
I have the XR500 and it will handle anything you throw at it (connection wise) so no need to worry about it being able to handle your demands.......I have the Linksys WRT3200acm which has just been rebranded as the 32X (on your list) and to be fair although it is a fantastic router their software leaves a lot to be desired and their firmware updates are few and far between. So I flashed my own custom firmware onto it in order to get it to do what I wanted.
You wont go wrong with the XR500 and theres a strong community supporting it especially at netduma's main forum at http://forum.netduma.com/
