xr500 RIP? Where is the SPI and NAT? Borrowed Linksys Gui? No SSH/Telnet?
Hi, So I purchased this XR500 based on the understanding that there was NAT support and SPI built into the firewall but I can't seem to find any configuration option other than old school vulnera...
gotta waken this dead thread because he has a point. I didnt expect to pay 500$ for a playschool router. The geofiltering only works in games, the logging is about 3kb worth of data (i get 100000 emails aday cuz it sends one everytime the log fills up). It can track overall data, but it cannot attribute it to specific devices.
You see, this functionality usually comes at the cost of around 50$. You maybe should release one or two of those 'R-apps' that the iceberg hasnt been tipped on. Coz im about to put this back in the box it came in, and get myself another asus or buffalo router. I dont see why there is a need to spoon feed out these modules. We already paid a huge premium to get this router.
On second thought, nevermind, after reading a thread response by one of the devs hinting that you can get telnet on the thing, but not revealing how, this thing is going back from whence it came.
The router is about half that price so not sure what router you're talking about. Yes the Geo-Filtering is for games, thats how it's always been marketed. If your interested in applying this to something else I'd love to hear your thoughts, always open to suggestions! For emails I'd suggest you change the frequency to cut the amount of emails received.
Not sure what functionality you're referring to, if you want to filter other things then content filtering has what you need. All the features you've mentioned so far are present. We are working on more R-Apps right now.
If you want the best gaming experience then I would suggest you keep the router but thats up to you, all of your gripes have answers and it will only get better from here.
