  1. Thank you, Fraser. Please add me to Betta versions, also would love to have adblocker on XR 500, if possible... i do not care about performance if it is beta version as long as I can generate 10mps. @NewFie, two CPUs running at 35% does not impact performance, but once VPN will be delivered it will potentially. I just did quick evaluation for new device, before i placed it in service. and reported what I discovered, please do not consider it as a complain . NetDuma team fixed more complex problems in the past and this one is nothing. I do not think I worry about it too much, it just XR500 runs at lower numbers under some load with hybrid VPN on.
  2. I think I solved my problem, by swapping XR500 with XR1000, where X500 will be stand along, for the hybrid VPN, so i can wait for a year. But if you would have beta i can test it:) XR1000: I am surprised how well adblocker works for the whole network. The only issue i found two CPUs would run at 35% average without load, in isolated network, the impression like something running on the background, could it be Netgear Armor? When i enable it, cpu spikes for 30 seconds to 80% (2 out of 3 CPUs) and after it goes back to 35% when i disable it i do not see significant improvement. How do I remove bits for the NetGear Armor, it is useless for this device, net duma team already implemented application layer features, which support logging, hybrid VPN, adblocker and packet analyzer do we really need black box called Netgear Armor?
  3. I love Hybrid VPN on XR500.I use PIA on the router, and PIA client on workstations, so far it is very stable. ...But today i bought XR1000 and it does not have that option....I am looking for XR1000 beta firmware to install, It will be used time to time and i do not care about speed loss as long as it is above 10mbps, and working 90% of the time. This router will be standalong. ( just few computers connected to it) Is there tester/beta version available for XR1000 or should I just get XR700, and forget about XR1000? Thank you.
  4. Good choice it should help you with Ethernet stability, since you would offload switching function to another device.
  5. Fraser, thank you for the help with Netgear fix. ...up time is 36 days with .18 firmware.
  6. I see, that is IP address you acquire from Comcast. Comcast would normally give you IP for 4 days. Does it break every 4 days and do you see ip address switch frequently? Expansion of lease duration should not cause interruption in service. XR500 works as client in this case with Comcast DHCP service, have you contacted Comcast for the service issues? it might be DHCP Server or might be a modem...
  7. The issue might be different in your case. So you loose connection only from one host at the time during lease change? (do you have other devices using the same IP for example static IP?) If you reserve IP address on the router or provide static address to the host would it mitigate connectivity issue?
  8. What about active queue management (AQM)? http://www.cablelabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/DOCSIS-AQM_May2014.pdf
  9. Still running debugging firmware, with good results: Uptime: 26 days, 21:23, load average: 4.36, 4.26, 4.21 let me know if you want me to test beta firmware.
  10. sounds good thank you. For now I will run with debugging firmware, it will be close to 25 days by June 3rd.
  11. I would like to try it new firmware, but most likely one week later. Can start testing on June 3rd.
  12. debugging firmware - Uptime 05:34:41 up 16 days, 11 min, load average: 4.39, 4.20, 4.12
  13. I think Fraser will be online in 8-9 hours, ask him about debugging firmware if you are willing to participate in debugging. Side effect in my case - i cannot repro that failure. . ....but if you just wanted quick mitigation - disable instant-on.
  14. The issue here is well isolated already netgear just does not want to repro it, or they try to repro with debugging firmware, which by default is stable and has networking stack altered for capture . So if I would try to repro it now I would say no repro... but if that is true what stops netgear from incorporating additional, software into factory firmware? Issue happens when Xbox is in instant-on mode (in hibernation), there will be frequent port reset on the switch triggered by xbox. Frequency is 1-2min. the pattern will look like this: 10/full(~1min) -> disconnect/reset(1-5sec)->1000/full(1-5second)->10/full(~1min)->disconnect. What instant-on-disable going to do? it removes the pattern specified above, so weakness of XR500 is not exposed anymore. If you see disconnect after instant-on-disabled that means issue is different. if I was a netgear engineer in the lab I would connect 4 Xboxes into 2 XR500, put Xboxes in hibernation and capture repro all day long. Or create generator of pattern and connect generators into XR500, increase frequency and make it 15 seconds per cycle, that could be done by xbox team or netgear team. Did you talk to tier 1-2 support or to premier support for xbox? Tier 1-2 would be vendors at Microsoft, they will not have incentive to bring that issue to the product team, and would be limited by SOP in troubleshooting.
  15. I do not use any attenuation, did not want to reduce downstream signal. The difference in signal is significant 3dbmv. also +1 on heat dispersion Sb8200 runs significantly hotter compare to CM1000, heat is a problem particular when dust starts building up in a year or two, it will work like insulator, overheating the components...potentially. I see why you can select sb8200 or mb8600 though all 3 modems have the same chip set. SB8200/mb8600/CM1000, the difference comes down in number of ports, memory and storage. I think by the time people will start to use more then 1port, there will be better technology new modems most likely, even if you do not use memory it will still consumes power, so more not always better.
