I think what happened was they posted they would make an announcement and then people assumed it was 3.0 and it grew like Chinese whispers. ive seen comments on YouTube where people have posted that Netgear told them 3.0 is out which as we know is total rubbish but people want to believe it. I am surprised though with the general lack of interest on the forum, very few posts showing interest.

I think they are on a windup possibly, often these types of updates create issues and well people like to take the opportunity to troll.

Well I can’t really help you. This router is a combination of NG and Netduma, so firmwares are supplied under one roof. I would suggest if you don’t have luck with this router maybe try a nice basic one that’s easier to understand. You clearly don’t understand low level coding which needs clearing at times.still that’s routers, if you want SNB is a good site to learn why a reset is required. I’ll let you google that as it’s good for you to research yourself for more understanding. you should do more research and perhaps read the manuals from support so you understand a bit more about the XR routers. Good luck.

It’s very easy to reset. You use the same credentials as before and hey presto all your devices connect straight away. A straight forward reset with no reserved lists takes no more than 10mins. It’s the same with most routers. Yes you have to redo your settings but hey it’s a gaming router with software to match. If you struggle you need a different router with a more basic UI that’s easier to quickly setup. It take me 10 mins at most to set up my RAX120. Auto updates are on as end users don’t often do manual checks or understand why firmwares are needed. You can simply go into the UI and disable this. There’s nothing hidden or doing it without your consent. it sounds like you have never logged in asking your questions. How did you set this router up to start with?

Deleted but I feel your pain

Got to say I agree. I’m fine here after a reboot and I’ve turned auto update off which I’m taking it does prevent this from happening but would be nice to have confirmation.
