Let us know how it works for you...

Does this firmware update fix the DHCP issues? DHCP stops working and will not assign IP address to devices.

Thanks

[FURRYe38]

I don't see anything in regards to that. 

[Netduma-Fraser]

We are still ascertaining what fixes NG included and will get back to you

[Retired_Member]

yay the update is officially out now the duma os 3.0 

[conkerick]

What is the best option for factory reset after update?

Interface.

Reset button.

Thanks.

[Retired_Member]

The easiest way is the interface

Does it matter if I restored the settings from previous after I did a reset?  All seems to work but thought I would ask.

[Netduma-Fraser]

It's best not to ideally as you run the risk of having saved a corrupt setting for example and then re-introducing it after the reset but if everything is okay you should be fine.

[wolf3591]

I did have one problem: In the ping Heatmap Call of Duty Vanguard isn't working.  I tried a few other titles and they all work.  I checked and the call of duty servers are up.

[Netduma-Fraser]

We're aware of that occurring, likely a similar issue to Warzone on heatmap as well, we'll get it sorted. It won't impact your ability to get games/use the Geo-Filter. You can get an idea for where the servers are located on our Twitter.

[wolf3591]

It's wierd since it worked before I did my reset.

[Netduma-Fraser]

It will have gone down regardless of the reset and affects every platform with Ping Heatmap, as soon as we can we'll get it pinging again

[FURRYe38]

So got this loaded yesterday. Seems to be working so far however it's only been a day.

One thing I notice is that the speed test graph never goes up to or near 1000Mbps for my 1Gb ISP service. Seems to hang under 500Mpbs: 

Speed test otherwise is working though. More to come. 

[FURRYe38]

Some wireless speed testing results. 

Looking good:

Buenas noches, estoy cansado de este router, despues de tener que reiniciarlo cada dia, hoy he restaurado de fabrica siguiendo los pasos de la pagina Netgear, al acceder al panel dumaos, no me carga casi ningun Rap, he vuelto a reiniciar, normalmente asi volvian a cargar, pero llevo todo el dia restaurando de fabrica y configurando todo. y no hay manera. no cargan los raps de ninguna manera, es muy fustrante, adjunto pantallazo, puede ser todo esto a raiz de la actualizacion que vaya peor?

[FURRYe38]

In inglese per favore

So this just happend a few minutes ago, I lost internet access on my Windows PC while connected to the XR450. I was using a ASUS GT-AX11000 in bridge mode connected to the 2.4Ghz radio. I thought maybe the ASUS was not working right so I rebooted it. No internet. So I changed it to connecting to 5Ghz on the XR450. Still no internet. So I disabled the ASUS connection and connected my same PC to ethernet connection to the XR450. Still no internet. 

I pinged the router successfully. 

The Onboard Connection Benchmark ran and was successful and reported correctly.

Ooklas installed speed test app on Windows could NOT get a connection thus would not run. 

I noticed this in on the web page:

Nothing seen on the networking monitor section.

After checking the web pages on the router, I rebooted it. After it came back to ready, internet is accessbible again. 

I only have a couple of devices connected anlong with my Xbox 1 which was not on. 

Network Monitor now shows activity:

CAX80 modem mode > XR450. 

A factory reset and setup from scratch was performed after v130 was applied the other day. 

FYI to those telnet users, Telnet is no longer seen on the debug page. 

I'll keep an eye on this and see if it happens again. Debug logs are now running.

@aaronibm21 Vaya a la página de Información del sistema y al panel de Rapp, haga clic en el menú de opciones y cámbielo a 5. Luego reinicie desde la interfaz y espere 2 minutos antes de acceder. Es importante esperar tanto tiempo para que las funciones tengan la oportunidad de cargarse correctamente.

@FURRYe38 keep us posted, most likely the same issue from the previous firmware that NG needs to fix, we're talking to them about it currently.

[aaronibm21]

no me cargan los raps, volvi a restaurar de fabrica y siguen sin cargarme, que puedo hacer? 

[Netduma-Fraser]

No es necesario restablecer los valores de fábrica, siga los pasos anteriores y eso debería solucionarlo

[aaronibm21]

Fraser, de verdad, eres un crack . siempre me resuelves todas mis dudas, muchas gracias, ya me funcionan de nuevo.

Hey there all, I've just updated my XR500 with the latest firmaware. Everything is working fine, except the Speed Test. I mean, it's working but it shows weird info. I have more than 700mpbs in download, but in speed test it barely goes to 300/400mpbs. Upload seems fine and pings also looks good. Can someone tell me why it shows almost half of my download speed? I'm not doing anything in the background... All I did was to set QoS on 3500km from my location and 100ms ping, that's all.
