    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.
