Waiting I have since this thing came out. My network monitor does not show my devices save the amazon devices. Without a doubt we are in new times the customer has yet adapted to. What a shame.

Exactly. New times as in people are so frustrated with corporations just eating workers and consumers that common are willing to risk it all and just walk into their offices and start shooting. Such a shame that these corporations just don't give a **bleep** about their customers or their own public image. This xr500 has been buggy since launch and they just continue to package it and dress it up and sell it but fail to even repair even basic functions like UPnP and power or even their **bleep**ty QA didn't even catch that most of their first batch devices had the labels backwards for the Ports. The entire reason for the routers existence is the Geofilter and now it doesn't even work with Call of Duty which is easily one of it not THE most popular game of their customer base. What puzzles me is how they mass produce model after model and then fail to support the features they use to "set their router apart" from every other router that does the same damn thing. Netgear nor Netduma will ever get any money out of me or the people I help with this type of thing. I know I'm a droplet in the ocean but it's gotta start somewhere
