XR500- WHEN ARE WE GOING TO SEE AN UPDATE FOR THE NOW FAILING GEOFILTER and UPnP?
There have been several posts on the Netduma site that show obvious signs that the geofilter isn't functioning correctly worldwide. People are reporting issues of servers within their geofilter being...

These Nighthawk Gaming Pro XRnnn routers are Netgear products, the hardware and a major part of the OS platform is done and maintained by Netgear, and is not under the control of Netduma - e.g. the Kernel, the basic OS, features like UPnP, ReadyCloud, DoS, Logging, ... I think that says it all: Netgear does not listen on the Netduma forum, Netgear does nowhere refer to the Netduma forum.
I'm unclear as to the reason for your reply.
I am fairly certain most here know the situation and realize that Netgear is the hardware manfg. and Netduma supplies the OS which is piggybacked or whatever on top of Netgears own OS and that Netgear ultimately controls the repair and release of firmware buggy or not. We see that, that's what I was pointing out. Netduma is the first to see the issues reported at their forum and Netgear for the most part just wants to sell us extended warranties for their poorly optimized and non-functioning routers. The device is crippled without these key features it was advertised to provide which is why we paid a premium for a router that would have cost less than or close to $200.00US without the DumaOS.
Netgears decision to partner with Netduma then totally disregard the issues for the last year or more and then also release another device with the, at the very least partially, non-functioning OS is pretty disgusting.
If you want to be helpful try to stick to the issue at hand and not regurgitate what we all know already in your own words. I know I'd appreciate it. Your post as well as my own here now replying to you is a typical response expected when people try and water down posts with disinformation or wasted words.
