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

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.

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.

People of Netgear... what we have to do to take the beta??? It’s really unpleasant to see a lot of people to already have it with R1 and R2!!! You forced me and a lot of people to sell the XR 500 and buy the R2. Please give on the community the respect they are deserved!!

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.

  It's in open beta now so anyone can try it if they wish to and see if it helps with any of the issues you may be facing.
