XR500 - New Firmware Release?
Good Afternoon
I was a customer of Netduma when there R1 first got released and when there said there were partnering up with Netgear. I was thinking that going to be great. Good Hardware and ...
Now Netduma does not want anything to do with theXR500 or XR700 routers
Not at all! DumaOS using a single code base, so any router DumaOS is installed gets equal love and attention from us. Kind of how a parent feels about each of their kids!
Hopefully there'll be some good news for you guys soon. :smileyhappy:
As someone who purchase the xr500 8 months ago,mostly for the dumaos. It's really a shame seing the router that introduce DumaOs first cant get the latest DumaOs update. Which make me think now everytime Netduma release a new firmware for r1 the Xr500/700 will always be behind. Really disappointed considering they are 2 latest devices that been knowing as the most "powerful gaming " router. If R1 is an older router that easy got a feature we been requested for months shouldn't it be more easier to implemented in the xr500/700 since they are new devices? Really dissapointed we need ping assist asap
- Netgear has their processes which are longer than ours which is why we can release updates quicker on the R1
- If that's the case than i might as well return the Xr500 (thank God for return policy plan) and get a R1. Thank you.g
- Keep in mind the R1 hardware is a lot older so you won't have the AC WiFi etc of the XR500
