NOTE: It's recommended to factory reset and setup from scratch after applying this FW update.
NOTE: Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200
Adjust IP range as needed if you have more than 100 devices.
Be sure to make a backup configuration to file after the router as been setup:
Saves time if a factor reset is needed.

Let us know how it works for you...
- Looks like the issue for me is something to do with DHCP (yes I had the range set as 100-200) I set up my own DHCP server and set the lease time to 1 week and it's been stable ever since

Is this just a hotfix or something? That changelog is very small for a firmware that hasn't been updated in more than a year. The DumaOs firmware progress page also says it should be DumaOS 3.3
- NG had to release a firmware with security fixes, as you can imagine, ensuring a network device is secure is imperative so they were not able to have 3.3 available for this one but updates are coming.
- Why is it recommended to limit the DHCP IP pool to only 100 addresses. I tried to do this but the router became unresponsive and had to revert the change. What should you do if you have more than 100 devices?
Then adjust if you have more than 100 devices.
I am curious to know if anyone uses Armor with this device? Are there any known issues by activating Armor and using the router's features? I know I initially had a paid subscription with my XR1000 about two-three firmware versions prior to the one listed here and I remember having issues with the device messing up to where I needed to factory reset it several times between several months of using it. I ended up disabling it and canceling my subscription to Armor becasue I wasn't sure if this was the cause. The problems eventually went away, but I do not know if it was a firmware update that resolved it or if it was because I stopped using Armor.
I want to know if any others have encountered issues with this service while using their device at any point.
- What were the issues you were having exactly? Then we can determine whether Armor may have been the cause.
Hey there! The router would give me errors when trying to login. I would get some UI loading problems, which I do not remember, and I would have to factory reset my router every so often. It has been a while since I had that problem. I was just curious about Armor because I was thinking of giving it another try and did not want to spend the money if it was buggy, or others were having issues with it of some sort.
- Is there any updates for this? It's been 3 months now since I've raised the dhcp issue
- We haven't heard anything from Netgear unfortunately, may be worth raising a ticket with them specifically.
