I have been testing it for the last month. I have removed my ISP's DNSs and set DNS to Cloudflare, Google and OpenDNS, it's a bit better but still have some issues that I didn't have on 108. Sometimes Chrome has DNS errors saying that it cannot resolve IP, E-mails still have a delay for images sometimes.
The other thing that I mentioned before is I'm still getting disconnects on 114 Beta. Various machines and cellphones all of a sudden disconnect. It's vary random but is happening quite a lot. On Windows 10 it shows as if I have no internet connection and sometimes it looks like I lose my network settings as I can't even connect to the router. I have to then either keep trying to connect switching off Wifi on the machine or cellphone or rebooting the router.
I have tried reloading 114 beta and factory resetting and it works for a bit but the same problems come up.
When I get a disconnect I check the log and it's normally has a DHCP lease change:
[DumaOS] DHCP lease change., Saturday, March 13, 2021 11:59:07 [DumaOS] DHCP new event., Saturday, March 13, 2021 11:59:07
DHCP renews:
Lease Obtained
0 Days, 3 Hours, 0 Minutes
Lease Expires
0 Days, 2 Hours, 45 Minutes
I have these DHCP lease change in the log sometimes in a minute, I don't know if these are device DHCP lease changes or the routers.
@ivanrei okay so the fix implemented hasn't worked for you, could you do this please prior to the issue and save them after it has occurred, then send to @TimChang Plugin a USB device into the router. Open debug page: http://192.168.1.1/debug.htm Select the checkbox “Enable WAN/LAN Packet Capture”. Choose “USB Device” in store location. Click "Start Capture" button. Once issue occurs, press the Button “Save debug log”.
Sorry mate. I know you have no sway over Netgear. But they are rubbish. And the dumaos implementation on the xr500 affords no benefit. QoS does not work when using a vlan. Full stop. It hasn't been fixed... Even with multiple years or promises.
Netgear is dragging their ass on this and the problem is they don't care. As long as you vent your frustration in this forum they have no reason to act on it. Start going out on social media and express your frustration there. You need the high up execs to see that the customers are pissed off. Start complaining on netgears marketing channels on Twitter and Facebook. Do the same on Instagram. The more people who start talking about this in the public the more action Netgear will take on fixing these issues.
Okay thanks @D3vious I've asked the team to take a look at the VLAN QoS issue again and see what is happening, hopefully we can get it resolved for the next version.
To be honest!! Is really disappointed I bought a bugatti but the engine doesn’t work is the same with the XR500.... actually im using my router asus ac1900 waiting for NETGEAR fix all the issues... I believe them just understand to us we are pissed off has been a long waiting ... i tried every settings with the beta and i gave up ... and connected my asus ac1900 and everything run smooth
We understand your frustrations guys, we're working as hard as we can to get these issues resolved, it's just something that takes time to fix and test.
@Netduma-Liam I would understand if it lasted two months, but the beta has been running for 8 months, even the original software114 does not work normally, and do not ask what does not work because I know that these are cosmetic things, but they do not work, I installed and uninstalled because the disconnections still annoyed the household members, and the worst part is 3.0 doesn't work well on any platform, and that worries me,
Good evening, I've had enough of the Xr500, promises after promises and it's been 2 years.... So yesterday I ordered r2, now I will expect to receive it as soon as possible and see if it works as promised by netduma ... I'll try it out for a couple of months, but if it doesn't work and continue as the Xr500 I'll buy an Asus! Let's see how it goes, hopefully much better compared to the Xr500.
Just to give you some feedback and maybe help some of the other people with problems. I tried the steps that’s some folks did and that seems to have basically fixed almost everything.
What I did was install the latest stable build and factory reset. I then installed the 120 beta and factory reset again.
Since then I have only had about two/three disconnects and the DNS problem no longer exists. I’m even using my ISP’s DNS. My UPnP is still not working with COD BO Cold War and a PS5, but I bypassed that with port forwarding.
Form this experience it looks like something is buggy with the factory reset in the beta version. Maybe some config is sticking around when you have already used another beta. I know the QOS configs aren’t resting, but maybe something else might not be getting reset like the stable version.
@JustinRandazzo the latest beta version is .120 so I'd recommend you try that but if you want .108 then just say yes to that. It detects it as older due to the numbering.
