Some question about XR1000

Some question about XR1000

Hi All:

 

Here's my first question: Does anybody know if the XR1000 supports bridge mode? This feature can be found in other Netgear Nighthawk models such as the R7000.

 

Another question I have is, how do I set up QoS? Regardless of what changes I make to the settings, I don't feel any improvement in my gaming experience. have any suggestions for the setup?

thanks

Re: Some question about XR1000

Page 146 on the User manual refers to "Enable or disable MU-MIMO". This is not Bridge mode. 

I have the XR1000 and XR450/500. They've never supported bridge mode.

If you mean wireless bridge (repeater) mode, then check the manual.

 

Visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

Looks like it.

Like your first question, you might get better answers in the appropriate section for the XR1000

 

While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

Nighthawk Pro Gaming Routers - NETGEAR Communities

Gaming routers have their own DumaOS operating system that is nothing like the one on Netgear's standard routers.

You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.

That's not what the manual says. See page 146 "Enable Bridge Mode". But who knows given Netgear's dreadful record on that front?

That is not what it says in my copy of the manual. Dated 2020.

Re: Some question about XR1000

3 years old. Might update your copy then. 

NG updated the UM 2023.

Re: Some question about XR1000

That does not explain why the original manual provided that information.

 

It does not help @hawknighty to work out if they can install older firmware and restore that feature.

 

It does not confirm that the current manual is accurate. (It is also for the V2 hardware.) As I said before many of Netgear's manuals are hopelessly inaccurate and out of date.

 

If I were @hawknighty I would check the interface to see what works. I would also follow my earlier advice and ask the DumaOS people for help.

Re: Some question about XR1000

Sometimes features are put out in initial builds then removed soon after. Seen this happen in later FW builds as well. 

I can confirm that Wireless bridge mode is NOT supported on ANY XR router since I have one. But of course, ask around to be sure.

Re: Some question about XR1000

I would recommend having a look through our optimal settings guides which includes how to setup QoS and that should help: https://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/folders/16000090646 if you still have questions after that let us know and we'll be happy to help.
