Questions before buying XR500
Hello I moving to a new flat and I will have 900mbit symmetrical internet speed. Internet connection will be provided via ethernet cable and I won't have access to ISPs main router below apartmen...
- Please keep it civil. We're here to give Naxterra advice on what router to purchase.
Hi Naxterra, I also work for Netduma (creators of DumaOS). If you did end up purchasing the XR500 I would also very likely be the one giving you technical support on the forums should you need it.
Out of the options you listed the XR500 as far as I am aware is the only one that has actually built an entire router operating system from scratch. That means we are able to develop new features very quickly. We have a massive roadmap in front of us and we haven't even hit the tip of the iceberg yet.
As others have said the XR500 can handle all your devices no problem! Regarding NAT for PS4, UPnP, Port Forwarding or putting it in the DMZ will open the console's NAT.
You should be absolutely fine with that length of ethernet cable & at CAT7 you should have optimal performance.
I have only briefly used the X10. Hardware wise it is an absolute beast but that is not all that is important when ensuring the best possible connection. With the XR500 I believe you have the best of hardware & software combined.

Alright then. I will order XR500 today. Let's see how it will work :)
Thanks for your support and help.
