Will all of the new features be announced prior to the beta being released?

Soon....😉

You have to flash back via TFTP. Follow the instructions at https://kb.netgear.com/000059633/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-TFTP-client to setup a TFTP client on your PC with the stock firmware image set as the local file to be flashed.You then turn off your router, press and hold reset button and turn router on whilst keeping the reset button pressed in. The power LED will eventually start blinking white, once this occurs release the reset button. At this point go back to your PC with TFTP client and then click the put button and it will start flashing. The router will then automatically reboot upon completion. You may also have to do a factory reset in stock firmware once it's restored. https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=317920

Waiting on the next firmware update....

You can try it. QOS off works best for me. My home internet ran much more smoothly after I turned it off. QOS is typically not needed with internet download speeds of 300 Mbps or greater. https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/300mbps-and-Qos/m-p/1479469

In my experience, the XR500 will detect the iPhone as high priority traffic, especially when playing games on the device. I would recommend turning off QOS and see if your network performs any better.

Just checking it out. Probably won't install. Even trusted firmware/software can have security holes. I assume that it is Caddy 1.0 that is being referenced.

Having trouble finding this. Do you have a link to one of the forum posts for the third party DumaOS tools?

You mentioned that all of your coax cables were replace, but if you haven’t already, you may also want to check your Ethernet cable between your internet gateway (modem) and your XR500. I once experienced an issue where my speed was degraded due to bad Ethernet cable.

I have a similar setup with a Xfinity gateway in bridge mode connected to the XR500 with 600 Mbps D/L speed, and have no trouble getting full advertised speeds with low ping. Have you tried a new Ethernet cable between your modem and router? Or have you tried running custom DNS servers on the router? I am running with OpenDNS servers for the filtering ability that it provides. Good luck.

I know it is up to Netgear, but do you expect a XR500 bug fix firmware release prior to the release of the DumaOS 3.0 update?

Until DumaOS updates on this router are streamlined, the roadmap does not mean much. It is like having a shopping list and never going to the store to get the things on your list.

Have you tried changing the NAT Filtering setting from ‘Secured’ to ‘Open’. It is on the Settings>WAN Setup page.

I played COD BO4 last night and noticed that the Geofilter on my XR500 was not populating and did not show the server that I was connecting to. I did not have any trouble connecting to a match. I was on the latest beta .40 firmware at the time. I downgraded to the .32 firmware and performed a factory reset, but I am still having the same issue. Any further suggestions??? TIA
