That'd be awesome! Thanks!

Thanks for the information, I'll try and boost you guys up the list.
 
 

To be honest it confuses me as well but we've set a precedent now, what are your Netgear Community names? 
What is your Netgear Community name?

May help if you also ask https://twitter.com/NETGEARgaming as well.

We'll try and get you guys boosted up the list. @Nalsano there is no need to make a new account, if anything it would likely get the beta after your main account.

Invites are still being sent out but it is a waiting game, I'll try and get you boosted up the list.
No it won't come immediately but later on down the line. 

They don't send confirmation emails out so you just have to wait for an invite. Thanks for your patience.

We're working hard to get it tested and out to testers as soon as possible. I couldn't give time frame exactly but after we've deemed the XR500 to be quite stable I think.

If they were about to be EOL then we wouldn't be spending all this time trying to get 3.0 working on each router properly and running a beta for each, just would not be a good use of dev time if that were to be the case. Our routers have always been a decent price, it's not a case of undercutting them at all. If people want the higher hardware option then that's what the XR series is for. With ours we're aiming to get DumaOS in the hands of those on a budget and get updates out faster. Just depends on what you would prefer. I think it actually complements the XR series well. I can assure you the partnership is going strong.

I've put your names forward from your other posts.
The betas are separate, they were being tested by those invited before the R2 was announced. In fact the R2 is optimized for DumaOS which has allowed us to get the betas out when we did.
Thank you very much for the support!
Sure, I'll get you bumped up.
What beta have you signed up for?
We're working hard to get the 700 beta tested and out to testers as soon as we can. We will continue to support all the XR routers.
The R2 is completely optimized for 3.0, its this that has allowed us to develop it faster than if we were to use the R1 for example. It's getting it working optimally on other routers which takes more time.
All the routers that have DumaOS - R1, XR300, XR450, XR500, XR700 will receive 3.0. Given that betas are usually where developers and consumers interact the closest to work on bugs etc and so there isn't the traditional tech support it kind of makes sense.
Answered this above.
Answered above. Our partnership with Netgear has been fantastic and we're not planning on dropping these routers, all of the XR series will receive 3.0. When we partnered with Netgear we said to them that we wanted to continue bringing out our own routers and they were absolutely fine with that. We want to continue to innovate and grow just like any company. 

We're trying to expand the group of testers as fast as possible so hopefully you'll receive an invite soon.

Thank you everyone for your interest, we'll continue passing names on to Netgear to get into the beta asap.
