Ok, good to know, thank you.

This still ongoing or canceled? Can anyone confirm?

Is this the same one as early access or is their a difference in this one?

The flower feature was a nifty tool to fine tune.

Fraser is there a difference between categorizing the device as GAME CONSOLE or PLAYSTATION? I know both have various ports but is one better than the other?

OMG so since you just mentioned this. I checked this out. the LAST letter of my MAC is different on the interface over the router itself. I cant say I've had any significant issues because of this. But is there a way to prevent this? Also if i were to correct the letter on the interface would it break access? Thank you.

Make sure your on the latest FW. .236 It resolves VLAN issues.

What a shame, that XR1000 was has so much potential but NG just doesnt give any attention to their FW process.

I second that

Can confirm, during initial login into Infinite, if the authentication sever is blocked, which it will be if geo filter is on. it will cause an error and will not let you search a match until restart, GEO LATENCY does remedy this AND lets you keep GEO FILTER ON at the same time. The only work around on previous routers is to TURN OFF geo filter until after the main menu and search for game menu loads, then turn GEO FILTER back ON.

I would recommend you stay on .23 or .21 since you wont have the constant resetting to access router settings. As shown above if you take the plunge FYI.

I understand with Netgear it was always a test before full release. and that test would last MONTHS. But since you guys are your own product and team, etc. Why aren't you utilizing EARLY ACCESS for those who are committed, eager, and willing to participate in giving feedback on every upcoming FW. You did this before, if the time table we are looking at is MONTHS in development before full release. This would be a perfect time to utilize it. Everyone here understands disclosure and what is a stable build and what is not. The best thing the team can do is just say, "hey, we know we have issues, please help us along the way". A lot of us gladly will/have. We early adopters have practically kickstarted a product that we know is capable of succeeding, but we all know, IT'S NOT FINISHED. We are still here because we want the product to succeed. Being left in the dark for MONTHS at a time is NOT the way to go about this product from being successful. You guys have been around for YEARS. You have always been a niche product until NG gave you the marketing, now you guys can succeed outside being niche. But this product has to work for a mass audience for it to succeed. Again i know you guys are a small team, but you have tons of contributors on standby who are willing to help too.

I know you've given a list of items that are finished out of X amount before the new FW is out. We'd really like it if you pinned that at the top of the forums. Just to get an outline or estimate of what is a much more time constraining issue that is pushing back the new FW further and further. I really like this router. I can live without alot of its features. Since the selling point for this router since I discovered it was the geofilter. I really want that to work. We can't have another Netgear situation on our hands. Those YEARS were really bad. I hope we can get this FW sooner than later. At least Stability being a priority and Geo-filter and bufferbloat being secondary. Thank you ND TEAM.

So HOW would I go about adding this list properly manually Fraser?

lmao. I appreciate all you guys do. However considering .40 remedied the spikes primarily. I'm assuming the next one will have a lot more thorough fixes since this one isn't causing too much drag. I've tested this one with IPV6 On and OFF. I don't see much difference on this front for me with Geo Filter or connection speeds. HOWEVER 1. Smart Boost doesn't work as it use to, It won't trigger the gaming activities profile at all, I have to put it in manually under DEVICES. it worked fine on .21 .23, I really wish you guys just kept BOOST MODE like you had it on the R2. That push of a button remedied pretty much everything I wanted out of my speeds. Consider bringing it back pls. 2. Geo Filter is still hit or miss, ESPECIALLY with MW3, sometimes it will put me in a lobby with intended ping, sometimes it won't, and it varies ACROSS the board weather i turn ON OR OFF STEADY PING and/or GEO-LATENCY as well. I'm assuming maybe it needs another DPI cloud update? 3. Ping optimizer still doesn't work accordingly. And it will NOT optimize my speeds according to bufferbloat. it keeps my download and/or upload untouched. This was not an issue in .21. It started for me in .23. So far I haven't experienced anything else, the spikes are GONE for me so that's a good thing.
