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 ...
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.
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 As I said before many of Netgear's manuals are hopelessly inaccurate and out of date.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.
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.
