xr500 beta DUMAOS 3.0
hello everyone, I have a question where the beta version 3.0, the big announcement was 02.06, still nothing, a week passed, many people are waiting for it because xr500 is not working well, it is very frustrating that you paid 300 euros for a router that has basic errors, how much time will have to wait

- It will be coming very soon, we'll start with a small group and gradually expand the group of testers as time goes on. If you've signed up then all you need to do is wait for an email.
I think you are calming down, because the netgear team has their testers and it seems to me that a normal user will not get the beta version, and netduma will probably be testing for R1, so that's why I ask how long it will take,and besides, somehow I don't trust them after my case was dealt with in the customer service, I heard about it because I wrote on the netduma forum
- Normal users will get the beta, that's why the sign up is available. Netgear don't usually do betas like this but we've worked with them to allow people to test it as we would do normally for the R1.
Indeed, pay 300€ for router that has really good hardware that cannot be fully used makes me angry. There are security gaps (official firmware still base on openwrt 12.10, I hope that new beta will base at least of 19.07 and will have new ath10k driver). Also limiting VPN providers into 2 is misconception. I'm clean openwrt user for about 10 years and one of driver for me to purchase device was that it was based on openwrt and I will be able to do something more with it.
I also sign up for beta to help resolve issues that are crucial for me.
- z0nk you can use any VPN you like, you will just need to input their OpenVPN configs.

Same here, still waiting for an invite for testing the firmware for my XR500. Kind of getting annoyed by this long wait, especially when I read on the Netduma forum, people are being moved up in the waiting list by simply asking the Netduma mods over there.
What happened to first come, first served?

- I've responded to your post defiled669
RISHI-O As far as I am aware it is still first come first serve just with some added people. Alex is collating the names so I will pass him yours also.
- Hi!
Does 3.0 have Stadia benefits? It's running pretty good right now, but the packets aren't being prioritized (a bummer when someone starts a download).
That and I'm curious to try out all the new goodies :-)
Let me know if I can be added to the list.
Thanks, and keep up the awesome work!- s3kt0r Nothing implemented currently but we are looking into it. Try making a manual rule for Traffic Prioritization and see if there is an improvement:
Select Stadia
Advanced
Source 1 - 65535
Destination 44700–44899
Protocol TCP/UDP
Retired_Member as it is the weekend they're unlikely to send invites, we've added your name to the list we've sent NG so hopefully you'll get an invite asap.
- Any news on what's going on? I bought the xr450 and so far tbh I'm 50/50 on how I feel about it, it has a lot of unmatchable features but when it comes to updates and bugs, I'm disappointed almost every firmware lacks a feature if you want a stable firmware and I've had trouble with almost every firmware as well as no updates in the 5 months I've had it, i also signed up for the beta 3.0 and have heard absolutely nothing except the good old "its coming" can we get a formative answer please or something
ok its been a while since the guy toldus he would putus at the top of the list for the 3.0 beta, still no email, said they were doing xr500 first but still no invite, its been 2 weeks i think
can i get a link to the beta?
- Can anyone help me out with the link the XR500 3.0 update. Currently having random dc’s on my router when a dhcp change/release idk.
- Hi mate , I haven't recieved the update yet , but Im sure netgear and netdum will fix
- Tonyladz that fix isn't in the current beta build but will be in one of the next ones. For now there are several things you can try such as setting static in Internet Setup and giving IP reservations to devices in LAN Settings. Some people have also found success downgrading to .32 or .40 though you will miss out on some security updates by doing that.
hi Tonyladz, I flashed 3.0 and everything is working fine, but a few error messages come up. in happy , thanks
I signed up at the beginning and still waiting for an invite as well. If anyone can help me out and send me a copy of the new firmware so this router can stop being a paperweight, that would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance
i had to set my xbox to 157,9 download and 714.28 upload just to get better hit detection.
i know it sounds crazy but if you are heving a hard time with gig speed and this router you should give it a try, expeirement a little
- Hi, How long will we have to wait for the beta of the xr500, I am waiting from day one, i do all the steps and still do not receive anything, I was going to buy the r2 but seeing your service class I will wait to see dumaos 3.0, I would like to test the beta in the xr500. Is there a way that you can send me the link to my email? I would appreciate it...
- The beta should have been released to ALL who registered at once, atm it is being drip feeded & at this rate I have lost hope in the router and the coming OS,my router is basically a 300eur plastic door stopper.
- Klaox, I believe you posted on the Netduma forum as well, we'll try to get you bumped up the list.
elCuculuz as it's a router and usually a central part of a household it could be very disruptive to release a firmware that potentially has bugs in to thousands of people all at once with no control. By controlling the flow of testers it improves the likelihood that it will stable by release.
