XR1000 Development Dead?
Just bought the XR1000 due to the great revews for my gigabit internet connection but i was sorely disappointed to see that no new firmware has been published since 12/22/2020. You cannot even choose...
If it's not coming soon I may need to return the XR1000 for a different NetDuma router then unfortunately.
We're testing some firmware at the moment but I don't yet know if it has/will pass the testing. As such, I don't have an ETA that I can provide I'm afraid.
- Can you send for me to testing this firmware? I 'm waiting for a new firmware for long long time. Please, send me a link for download that firmware and I help you to test.
- We can't do that, it's only for the QA team at this time. You wouldn't want firmware at this early stage, it would possibly be very buggy, features not working properly etc.
Have there been any updates? It's been 6 more months with no mention of any new firmware, and no firmware updates, or even mentions of any updates since 2020.
I just had the issue (again) where rebooting my router, by logging into Duma OS, caused it to be reset to factory defaults. However, after this happened the 1st time, I was smart and backed up my config, so I can just easily plug in the USB and restore, right? Wrong, the restore config also did not work and just resulted in 2 reboots, then right back to factory defaults.
At this point, the piece of junk router that AT&T installed 5 years ago is more reliable. If I could return this brick, I would.
Please tell me there is a firmware update coming soon. With a "flagship gaming router" with such an impressive name as "XR1000 — Nighthawk WiFi 6 Pro Gaming Router" from a company with a good reputation like Netgear, I would expect better for a $350 device aimed at the home user/gamer. Hell, at this point, I should have just spent the $800 and bought a Cisco.
