XR500 Duma OS Very Slow/Lagging
So I have been going though so many different forums/posts looking for something that might help me understand why my Duma OS has been so slow and lagging on my PC for about the last month or so. I ha...

So we haven't had many if any specific reports of a slow interface on the XR500 - one of the reasons this could be is if you're trying to access the interface using HTTPS, if you are then using HTTP will be much faster.
Clear your browser cache/cookies then load each page on the router once (settings page counts, no need to load each individual page there). Then it should be faster from then on.

Hey thanks for getting back to me. Sorry for the late response on my side. Been a crazy week. So I’ve always made it a priority to clear my cache, delete cookies, and all that. I do that on a regular if not daily basis. This seems to be the only program that is acting like this with such laggy and slow response. Plus it’s doing this on all there of my devices.
I am interested in the newer Duma 3.0 and have been reading about it. Do you think it’s a good idea for me to download install and give that firmware shot?
Also, I just noticed as I was reading other posts, is there a newer firmware than what I have? I’m seeing a (2.3.2.120) Has that been rolled out or is it still in development?
Thanks

If you're using the Safari browser for example then after their newest update it will force you onto HTTPS which will slow down the interface dramatically so either ensuring you access using HTTP or use another browser should work. Absolutely, the .120 beta build is quite stable in my opinion and could help.
- A-A-RonOct 15, 2021TutorOh yeah I forgot to say that yes I am using HTTP. Okay fair enough. Maybe I will just jump into the 3.0 firmware pool with the rest of the kids! I am able to go back to 2.0 if needed? Say if everything went to $#%@ and I needed revert back to the old firmware.
Thanks again.- Netduma-FraserOct 15, 2021NetDuma PartnerYes absolutely you can, even if it goes drastically wrong you'll be able to reinstall using TFTP
