Title says it all. @Netduma Fraser A bit more transparency and less closing threads that aren't even close to being uncivil or insulting. We bought a new version of a product, knowing full well of the sketchy update history of previous iterations (still stuck in Beta for R1 I believe?), and yet again, we find ourselves waiting for new firmware on a device which is less than 6 months old. Not demanding for anything, just clarity for your customers. That's all.

i got it yall yall be safe yall are amazing thank you

Same error code for me as well. That only started popping up after the update as well, after the party sits for some time. Prior to latest update, there was no indication other than “connecting” status. @Netduma Fraser - thanks. Appreciate the team’s work; just hope that the timeline is pretty short. I would imagine there’s going to be an increasing number of instances of this given we’re going into a huge game season.

You're quite right! 😂 Sounds like a plan!

Guys, please stop. I only come in here to check if the update is dropped yet. This is a forum to come together and help each other. That's how it should stay my friends. Let's make this update the best one yet! I can't wait until Smart QOS drops ❤️

There will be but honestly keeping it F2000 > XR should not give you a degradation in performance if you do the steps I mentioned to make them work together and the benefit of removing it would be marginal but more complex.

Maybe take up jazz?

They use the exact same servers - during the Cold War Beta, priority was given to the Beta on the servers so MW matches would be somewhat off till after the Beta period closes.....same thing happened with BO4 when MW launched.

Thank you. I will open a new post in netgear forum

Hmmmm it s been over a week now since the beta for XR450 came out.... when is XR700 ready? I cannot understand how you can piss off your prem router clients like that....

I Neo, we've picked up this issue and are in the process of getting it fixed. Will provide an update here once its working. Thanks for the feedback.

As above, I'm not sending the latest but sent you both a PM.

This is a support forum, therefore the majority of posts here will be those from people requiring support. I can tell you that of the people who have had issues, they represent a very small percentage of people who have bought the router so it is not the majority of people. I realize that by looking at the forum you get a sense that everyone is having issues because you have nothing to compare it to as you don't see those that are happy and have not contacted us for support. We have put a lot of work into getting out a really solid firmware and I'm confident it will be available very soon as we have now improved our development process.

Have you tried the R2 to see how it performs. The way it works is that you can enjoy great gaming but also have good bandwidth for the devices you want or wish to use a higher percentage. without knowing your isp speed if you allowed full bandwidth of say a pc and it starting downloading a file and saturated your connection your Xbox would suffer hence why QoS and congestion control work to insure you get the best performance of your network. if it were me I would try it out as you have I believe 14 days.

You are never an annoyance, try what Fraser suggested to get you up and running then over time you can see how it works and became more confident in how routers work. We all started off knowing little 😊 some isp’s are easier to have third party routers, some are awkward and some dead easy. give it a go as you at least have the f2000 up and running, just make notes of what you change in case you need to go back a step or two.

Okay thanks I've requested that for you. We don't have VLAN implemented yet or even connection profiles like that implemented so unlikely to be faster at this stage.

Connect the previous router how it usually is, then access its interface and find the Internet/WAN Settings, take some screenshots and then disconnect it, connect the XR, access the XR and try to put the settings in. If you post the screenshots here we can help direct you as well.

only tested on PC and PS4, the port is editable for reasons like this.

You both have access, enjoy! Welcome to the forum @Vasil

XR700 user here. Its been a long wait for 3.0 but I know it going to be worth it.

thank you

Do you mean rebooting or resetting as there is a difference? When you reset the router did you use the rear pin or software? Is the router in a confined space?

What is the XR connected to a modem/router or a pure modem?

Either option will work, for the first option you would need to put the R2 WAN IP in the DMZ of the Huawei to avoid double NAT. Either way QoS will work very well as long as you connect all devices to the R2.

How do you set up R2 with another for using the geo-filter? I'm guessing your fresh tomato router is the main, connect lan to lan with R2, console to r2? Do you only disable DHCP and QoS on R2? Do you put the R2 IP in freshtomato DMZ and console IP in R2 DMZ?

When I was using the 5ghz sometimes the signal drops to 2 bars so I think I'm close to being far from the router. So I bought a 50 feet ethernet.

Yes i have access to the internet via a wired connection and yes mirrored is on.

Hey, welcome to the forum! NAT Type 1 is when you are directly connected to a modem, you cannot get this when connected through a router. NAT Type 2 means it is open and behind a router.

Hey, welcome to the forum @cnc137! Thank you very much for the information!

Thank you, I tried to manually forward ports and got the same error. I'll use DMZ

You can close the browser once you're happy with your settings. Some people prefer to keep it open to see their ping stats for example but it isn't required.

Think we found the troll account "insane" speeds - hahahahahahah

I don't mind waiting but this "this week - next week" loop is getting annoying. Just tell it comes out when it's ready. Amateurs.

Regardless, the game wasn't any worse than my usual settings and they work pretty damn well

Installed tested fw. But gotta see since i havent connected my linksys to my netduma

I think it is probably to prevent you from assigning ports to it but yes that is strange, thanks for bringing it up!

Hey, welcome to the forum! I'm not sure I follow, .123 is the firmware that came already installed on the router. It's not downloading the file as you had to have uploaded it to get that message so not quite sure what is happening there. Look on the top right of the screen, you should be on .123

For my part what I use the most is: 1 - The Geo-filter (to know the location of the server) 2 - Auto ping (to know the quality of the server) 3 - Benchmark connection (to find out if my line is optimal)

First lobby on tonight I was level 1 and against Tmemoryy and his full stack against me and my mate, I held my own and dropped 40 kills but it’s boring.

Comfirmed, haven’t had any higher.

probare y te cuento despues... gracias

the problem is solved I buy another one and it works perfectly well I hope lol

I'm sure I've heard him say he has FTTP before. But yeah, wish I had his connection.

It's been in open beta for 3 weeks or so https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-DumaOS-3-0/bd-p/en-home-beta-npg-duma

Cheers Fraser I will pass this on

Ok, thx for prompt answers guys, appreciated! It may well be my bank, I recolllect they too have a “geofilter”, will have to check if thats expired. Stay tuned.

I seemed to have “fixed it”... here’s what I did: unplugged everything including coax cable from modem, factory reset both modem and router multiple times. Gave up on it last night, woke up today reset everything once again but tried a different LAN port (yellow one) from my Duma to the PC and it seems to be able to obtain a WAN and is working again.... I tried the old port and it is still working.... so it just randomly fixed itself overnight I guess.... very reassuring....

If it works for you then that is all that matters. Generally prioritizing 443 isn't a good idea as you could prioritize heavy downloads etc. Also you can't always be sure what the source ports are so they may not always trigger but again it works for you so that's great.

So I've been having massive issue with this lately. When I start a game I get massive packet loss making it unplayable. But it goes away to 0% packet loss when the player count drops to around 70 or less. My guess would be issues with the server, but I tried using a vpn to connect to US game servers and still have packet loss. Strange when you see popular twitch streamers in the US with 0% packet loss. Anyway I started using ExitLag. It allows you to set the number of tcp and udp routes to use. I found that if I set udp to use 0 and tcp to use 1 (effectively disabling udp) the game runs with no packet loss. Which you would expect as tcp does error checking/recovery of lost packets in exchange for higher latency. But I found my in game latency to be exactly the same. So it has effectively fixed my packet loss issue. My question is, is there a way to disable udp and only use tcp for this game the way exitlag does? Maybe on the router, firewall or other software (Netlimiter/glasswire)? I have a XR700. Thanks

Decided to make the jump from the XR500 to the R2 for the same reason I buy Pixel phones, getting updates from the source. Overall I'm pleased with the R2. I've seen people having wifi issues, and can say SO FAR I haven't had any. Setup was pretty simple, though I noticed it doesn't run a speed test like the XR500. No biggie just something I noticed. Geo filter: for the time being until it gets ironed out I just use the ping assist with my home location set out in the ocean. I feel like this takes out guess work and works pretty well. I tried both the traditional circle and the polygon mode. Though I feel like these aren't at their full potential in the current geo filter state. Something I don't understand is why there's at times a 30ms difference from what the router says the ping to the server is compared to in game (COD:MW). Otherwise I like the R2 and look forward to it's features. Any suggestions on the traffic prioritization? I can add games like Division 2 but now MW? lol very weird to me.
