I use geofilter with filtering mode when playing warzone, but does anybody know how to disable hosting through other players in the lobby? Marked as peers? I only want to get connected to dedicated servers.

@Delx I don't have the permissions to do that unfortunately, you may be able to do so.
@Retired_Member its probably that the peers are misclassified as servers, even if they aren't it's not possible to do that and it would transition to a server when actually in the game playing.

Where can I find the beta of DumaOS 3.0 for XR500, I can't find it, I can't find where to download it, or how would it be?

We're working on a new update at the moment but I don't have a timeframe for that yet.

@Iamcity it is a .img file, not a PDF file. You do not open the file on the PC, you upload it to the router by going to the Interface, Settings > Administration > Firmware Update

Re: New Firmware v2.3.2.108 (XR500)

Just thought I'd let you all know how I ovecame every problem with my XR500.

I put it in AP mode and bought an Ubiquity EdgeRouter 4 to do all the routing. No crashes, no hangups, can always get to the web gui, no random loss of internet, QOS using smartqueue on the ER4 works really well and I don't have to limit my bandwidth to 16% to get an A+ on DSL reports in fact I have 95% of my bandwidth using it and its better , IPV6 works. Its a real shame the XR can't be a router and an AP and do QOS and IPV6 at the same time, a shame mainly for my bank account. To be honest I would have bought an Ubiquity access point too if I'd not spent so much on the XR500. Which brings me to its plus points. The wifi signal is pretty good...thats it. 

So good luck everyone, you are going to need it.

@Xolhid it will be mainly fixes but I don't have specifics currently.

Not sure if I'm the only one, but the ping heatmap doesn't work for me. Is there a fix for this?

Re: New Firmware v2.3.2.108 (XR500)

@Netduma-Fraser Been testing this latest build for the past month and i am very happy to report my results on previous bugs/ issues discussed.

 

1. UPNP port table not showing and sometimes not automatically opening - Fully operational showing everything and opening ports correctly.

 

2. QOS not limitig bandwidth correctly and poor bufferbloat - Now limiting, also improved bufferbloat spikes from 72 ms to 9ms with 90% up/down. Repeatable results, incridibly impressed.

 

3. QOS not optimising for certain games. Tested Guild wars 2, World of Warcraft and League of Legends all working but GW2. Created a manual prioritsation for port 6112 and now working flawlessly. If the backend team could code port 6112 for gw1/2 into duma os classified default should now work by default saving anybody else having to create a manual port. (gw1/2 both use 6112 i believe)

 

4. Random router crashes only resolveable with hard reboot once often more per day - 4 weeks no crashes, hang ups and also incredibly stable when speed and ping tested in games - totally resolved.

 

This has fixed all my issues an im incredibly impressed and greatful for the work being done. I know others are having issues still and i can only encourage patience look at all the issues resolved i was experiencing.

 

I factory reset to last stable release (non beta). before update then factory reset again then updated to latest beta and working flawlessly. Havent tested other features like ping map because i dont really use. might test in future but kind of useless for australians

Re: New Firmware v2.3.2.108 (XR500)

This is my last post here...I finally have my router working perfectly! No drops, no restarts..and the worst spost in my house where I was barely getting 30Mb downloads now I get over 250Mb...the solution was simple...I got the Asus AX11000 and sold the XR500. I held as long as I could with the xr500 but at some point you just need to realize, things will never get better at this rate.

Good luck to all of you.
