Nope, our relationship with Netgear is still going strong and we'll be supporting all of their Nighthawk Pro Gaming routers going forward. If you're a Nighthawk Pro Gaming user, you won't be missing out on any new DumaOS features.

@quinkun @way2fast900rr I have applied to fix to your routers, you are now able to upgrade to DumaOS without a problem. Sorry about the delay.

I'll add you now, click the orange banner at the top of the page to get started.

Sorry, I will send your details onto Netgear in the priority testers list, but it's up to them in the end to add you. I don't have direct control over it.

Nice one, I hope you like it!

I have applied the fix. You can now upgrade to DumaOS with no issue.

Oh whoops, sorry. Give it a few days and you'll be moved up the XR500 beta queue.

Ok guys, i'm going through and adding lots of you to the beta. You'll get an email soon, but if you're in the beta, you'll see a green banner at the top of the forums. Just click that to get started!

Alright will do.

No we're just adding some extra people to the first batch. It will still be first come first served, just with some extra people.

Sorry but the XR700 beta hasn't started yet. It won't be starting until the XR500 beta is in a good place.

To all of you asking about when you'll be added to the beta: I'm going to get you all moved to the front of the queue, expect to hear something within the next few days.

The Netduma R1 beta hasn't started yet. You'll keep your place in the queue though!

It's almost ready!

R1 beta hasn't been released yet unfortunately.

You'll be notified by email when you've been given access. The beta for the XR500 will be conducted through Netgear's forums. The R1 beta will be conducted here on the Netduma forums.

Hi all, just to let you know that I have hidden sections of this conversation because we got derailed. If one of your replies got caught in the crossfire, I apologise. I don't like hiding conversation but it was getting out of hand. Thanks a lot!

Should be next week, how about I post in this thread when each wave of invites goes out? Thank you very much. Remember that this update is free of charge, I think you'll all be surprised with how many new features are added! I really appreciate your understanding guys.

I agree that some of our communication could've been clearer. Netgear also decided to announce their beta a week before ours, which took the wind out of our sails a little bit. There have been some people doing some very secret testing for DumaOS 3.0, but only about 15 or so. This is the start of our more public beta, we expect the amount of testers to be much higher, until eventually everybody that wants access can have access. Even though it's a beta, we're pretty confident in it's stability. We want pretty much anybody that would like to use 3.0 to be able to use it. Anybody who is excited about the future of DumaOS will be able to get their hands on it and give it a go. People who are happy to wait will recieve the update automatically once it's fully tested and fully stable. I think the rollout will probably begin next week for the Netduma R1. It's first come first served so you've got a good chance of being picked.

Hi all, You should get an email to confirm that your sign-up was successful. If you want me to make sure you're on the list, send me a DM and i'll check for you. Netgear will be handling the beta on their models, so it will be up to them to send out beta firmware for those. I'd like to thank you all for your enthusiasm and also for your patience. As Luke said, we'll start the rollout slowly and pick up the pace if no huge problems occur. We're also not done making announcements yet, there's more features still under wraps!

Unfortunately we only offer support for English on the Netduma R1. If you use DumaOS on Netgear NIghthawk Pro Gaming, you'll find that multiple languages are available.

I just pushed the fix, you're ready to upgrade! It sounds like you might be talking about 2.1.3.29, which is the latest version. I tried to push the fix to you but it didn't work, so i'm wondering if you're on DumaOS already?

We don't force updates on users, especially not on the Netduma R1 which lacks an auto-update feature. We allow our users to freely upgrade and downgrade to any version as they see fit. This is different to many products which require reverse engineering in order to downgrade. Separating security and UI updates would be impractical, because we'd have to make multiple different versions for every iteration of the UI, every time there was a security update. Not to mention all of the interlinked dependencies, it's a potential nightmare. Well that's with the current system anyway, but we're planning on separating updates for various features out into their own update streams at some point, meaning that firmware updates will become more security and system focused. This also means that if you don't want to update QoS because you don't like our latest interface changes, you don't have to.

Sorry about the delay, the fix is done! We are working from home so there was a bit of a logistical issue but it's sorted now. You're now safe to upgrade to DumaOS whenever you're ready.

I pushed out a cloud update late last week. It had all of the changes that were reported by users, hopefully it improves matters.
