Netduma Lew

Hey everyone!
We’re excited to provide you with the latest firmware for the R2 – DumaOS 3.3.
While it doesn’t bring immediately ‘obvious’ changes like DumaOS for Mobile, DumaOS 3.3 introduces a powerful new addition – our new AutoDPI. This is a big moment for DumaOS, and it means we’ll be supporting new games and applications faster than ever without needing to wait for a firmware update.
For details on what AutoDPI is and how it’s going to make things better, check out our video on it below:
DumaOS 3.3 also comes with a plethora of bug fixes as well as plenty of stability and usability improvements.
After extensive testing, we’re confident that DumaOS 3.3 puts the R2 is in a really good place: we hope you enjoy it.

Changelog
Wider range of games and applications supported by DumaOS (and more to come!). Hybrid VPN no longer experiences issues when switching between Wireguard and OpenVPN. DNS settings for Hybrid VPN are now retained after reboot. Fixed an issue where replacing a faulty config file for Hybrid VPN would cause functionality issues. OpenVPN logs are no longer deleted when the VPN is disabled. Various other fixes to Hybrid VPN functionality and stability. IPv6 traffic is now always categorised by QoS, allowing QoS to interact with it more reliably. Ping Heatmap no longer crashes if pinging an empty server group. Improvements to overall DumaOS stability, reducing cases where users see random reboots or disconnections. Numerous security improvements.

Today we announced the Netduma R3, powered by DumaOS 4. Welcome to the R3VOLUTION.
 
The Netduma R3 has a mission of delivering solid hardware for 2023 while also launching with DumaOS technology that you’ve never seen before. It arrives with a lot of firsts for a Netduma router, including WiFi 6 and RGB capabilities.
DumaOS 4 is a major standout that completely revolutionises how you get the most from your home network. Everything from classic features to the UI has been completely revamped, with several newcomer features that will change your game and THE game.
Here’s a breakdown of some highlights from DumaOS 4:
Geofilter 2.0, a whole new Geofilter solution that works more effectively for virtually any online game. SmartBOOST is the brand new evolution of QoS,automatically adjusting to give everything the optimal amount of bandwidth at any given moment. Steady Ping heralds the arrival of our long-awaited Anti-Jitter technology (that’s right, it’s finally here). By sacrificing a tiny ping buffer, you ‘lock-in’ a ping that doesn’t fluctuate. Now, every game feels as smooth as the last. And more, all in a completely overhauled UI! This thread acts as both the announcement and discussion thread for the Netduma R3 - ask questions and get as excited as we are!
To answer some of the questions we expect to hear for the R3 and DumaOS 4, we’ve put together some ‘Pre-FAQs’:
Will DumaOS 4 be coming to the Netduma R2 or NETGEAR Nighthawk Pro Gaming routers (XR500/XR700/XR1000/XR450/XR300)?
We fully intend to get DumaOS 4 on the Netduma R2 - we’re expecting this to be a straightforward task so the wait won’t be long. If you own an R2 and would like to be notified when DumaOS 4 is available to you, please enter your email here.
However, for Nighthawk Pro Gaming routers, we have some more unfortunate news: as things stand, DumaOS 4 will not be coming to these units. As you can probably tell, it has been a challenge getting these models onto DumaOS 3.3, for reasons outside of our control. We have been able to get the XR500, XR450 and XR700 onto 3.3 via  open beta firmwares. And this week we received an XR1000 firmware from NETGEAR (running DumaOS 3.3) which is going through our internal testing now. 
So as things stand right now, the only way to get your hands on DumaOS 4 currently is to purchase a Netduma R3.
How much will the Netduma R3 cost?
We always try to provide good value for the hardware we’re responsible for, and because of that the Netduma R3 is landing with a launch discount, pricing it at $199.99 (exc. VAT) / £179.99 / €199.99. This price point won’t last forever, but we want people who support us early on the benefit from doing so.
What are the Netduma R3 hardware specs?
We worked hard to decide the final spec of the Netduma R3. It has WiFi 6 with really good WiFi coverage across your home (we tested this extensively and it’s a LOT better than the R2), a quad-core CPU and all the RAM and Flash memory we’ll ever need. Our overall aim was to use hardware that was really solid without charging you guys and arm and leg to buy it  
The full list of the Netduma R3 hardware spec can be found on our site, at the bottom of product page. Check it out!
CPU/WiFi Chip used: Broadcom BCM6756
Where can I learn more about DumaOS 4?
You can check our website for more about each of the newcomers to DumaOS 4, and stay tuned for our upcoming video series covering each feature in a little more detail.
Will DumaOS 4 arrive on Telstra Optimiser and EE WiFi Enhancer?
Yes, both platforms will be updated with the latest DumaOS features down the road.
Is the R3’s WiFi better than the R2?
We paid special attention to ensuring that the R3’s WiFi performs well, to cover all areas as a solid router for any home. The WiFi specifically in the R3 is Dual-Band Gigabit AX3000, providing a far better WiFi experience than the R2 in terms of range and throughput.
I have pre-ordered. When will my R3 be sent?
We expect routers to arrive in December, and we’ll begin shipping pre-orders as soon as stock arrives on a first-ordered-first-sent basis. 
What this means is that while we can’t give a specific shipping date to cover every order, we expect that every R3 preorder will be fulfilled before Christmas.
Can I buy a Netduma R2 instead of a Netduma R3?
The Netduma R2 is now officially out of stock, and we have no plans for renewing the stock.
Has the Netduma R3 been beta tested?
Yes! A selection of beta testers from the forum have extensively tested the R3 and worked with us to make sure it’s great. A huge special thanks to them for helping us (and keeping things quiet until now!)
Does the RGB look cool?
Yes, it looks very cool. But if you are no fun at parties, they can also be turned off 😛

Attention XR450 users!
We're happy to announce the 3.3.535 firmware has made its way over to the XR450 in Open Beta stage.
We're hoping for NETGEAR to run this firmware through their QA process and eventually make it an official release. In the meantime though, you're free to use this as a beta firmware.
3.3.535 adds support for the new DumaOS For Mobile - a flexible view that works in virtually any viewport, with massively improved response times and speed. This is best experienced via the DumaOS app which, as of this firmware, fully integrates the webview format for any platform that supports it.
---
NOTE: This step must be completed first prior to upgrading to the latest firmware.
However, due to an firmware size limit, there is an important one-off step you need to take before moving over to the latest firmware.
Please download the below intermediary firmware, and upgrade your XR450 to it first: 
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/enrkjnl4jfl55irx562m2/XR450-V2.3.2.136.img?rlkey=5axamybfpdxh9p6tadwjghh0f&dl=0
It's important that you DON'T keep your XR450 on this intermediary firmware - there are known issues with it. 
If you're unsure how to get to the upgrade screen, this video from YourSixStudios does a good job explaining:
Once that's done, you can go ahead and install the latest firmware which can be found here:

I have pre-ordered. When will my R3 be sent?
We expect routers to arrive in December, and we’ll begin shipping pre-orders as soon as stock arrives on a first-ordered-first-sent basis. 
What this means is that while we can’t give a specific shipping date to cover every order, we expect that every R3 preorder will be fulfilled before Christmas.
Can I buy a Netduma R2 instead of a Netduma R3?
The Netduma R2 is now officially out of stock, and we have no plans for renewing the stock.
Has the Netduma R3 been beta tested?
Yes! A selection of beta testers from the forum have extensively tested the R3 and worked with us to make sure it’s great. A huge special thanks to them for helping us (and keeping things quiet until now!)
Does the RGB look cool?
Yes, it looks very cool. But if you are no fun at parties, they can also be turned off 😛 

Today we announced the Netduma R3, powered by DumaOS 4. Welcome to the R3VOLUTION.
 
The Netduma R3 has a mission of delivering solid hardware for 2023 while also launching with DumaOS technology that you’ve never seen before. It arrives with a lot of firsts for a Netduma router, including WiFi 6 and RGB capabilities.
DumaOS 4 is a major standout that completely revolutionises how you get the most from your home network. Everything from classic features to the UI has been completely revamped, with several newcomer features that will change your game and THE game.
Here’s a breakdown of some highlights from DumaOS 4:
Geofilter 2.0, a whole new Geofilter solution that works more effectively for virtually any online game. SmartBOOST is the brand new evolution of QoS,automatically adjusting to give everything the optimal amount of bandwidth at any given moment. Steady Ping heralds the arrival of our long-awaited Anti-Jitter technology (that’s right, it’s finally here). By sacrificing a tiny ping buffer, you ‘lock-in’ a ping that doesn’t fluctuate. Now, every game feels as smooth as the last. And more, all in a completely overhauled UI! This thread acts as both the announcement and discussion thread for the Netduma R3 - ask questions and get as excited as we are!
To answer some of the questions we expect to hear for the R3 and DumaOS 4, we’ve put together some ‘Pre-FAQs’:
Will DumaOS 4 be coming to the Netduma R2 or NETGEAR Nighthawk Pro Gaming routers (XR500/XR700/XR1000/XR450/XR300)?
We fully intend to get DumaOS 4 on the Netduma R2 - we’re expecting this to be a straightforward task so the wait won’t be long. If you own an R2 and would like to be notified when DumaOS 4 is available to you, please enter your email here.
However, for Nighthawk Pro Gaming routers, we have some more unfortunate news: as things stand, DumaOS 4 will not be coming to these units. As you can probably tell, it has been a challenge getting these models onto DumaOS 3.3, for reasons outside of our control. We have been able to get the XR500, XR450 and XR700 onto 3.3 via  open beta firmwares. And this week we received an XR1000 firmware from NETGEAR (running DumaOS 3.3) which is going through our internal testing now. 
So as things stand right now, the only way to get your hands on DumaOS 4 currently is to purchase a Netduma R3.
How much will the Netduma R3 cost?
We always try to provide good value for the hardware we’re responsible for, and because of that the Netduma R3 is landing with a launch discount, pricing it at $199.99 (exc. VAT) / £179.99 / €199.99. This price point won’t last forever, but we want people who support us early on the benefit from doing so.
What are the Netduma R3 hardware specs?
We worked hard to decide the final spec of the Netduma R3. It has WiFi 6 with really good WiFi coverage across your home (we tested this extensively and it’s a LOT better than the R2), a quad-core CPU and all the RAM and Flash memory we’ll ever need. Our overall aim was to use hardware that was really solid without charging you guys and arm and leg to buy it  
The full list of the Netduma R3 hardware spec can be found on our site, at the bottom of product page. Check it out!
CPU/WiFi Chip used: Broadcom BCM6756
Where can I learn more about DumaOS 4?
You can check our website for more about each of the newcomers to DumaOS 4, and stay tuned for our upcoming video series covering each feature in a little more detail.
Will DumaOS 4 arrive on Telstra Optimiser and EE WiFi Enhancer?
Yes, both platforms will be updated with the latest DumaOS features down the road.

Merci beaucoup Lew. You guys are amazing.
Hope this priority level setting will also apply device wise

Netduma R3 pre-ordered. Duma OS 4 Beta form submitted for Netduma R2. Have a good day everyone. I returned Netgear XR1000.

i am Happy for Dumaos 3.3 on XR 1000. 

Just ordered mine even though I love my R2 getting quite a collection of routers now lol got the XR700 as well. Just love Netduma OS ! Can’t wait for the R3 to arrive now 👍🏻

Today we announced the Netduma R3, powered by DumaOS 4. Welcome to the R3VOLUTION.
 
The Netduma R3 has a mission of delivering solid hardware for 2023 while also launching with DumaOS technology that you’ve never seen before. It arrives with a lot of firsts for a Netduma router, including WiFi 6 and RGB capabilities.
DumaOS 4 is a major standout that completely revolutionises how you get the most from your home network. Everything from classic features to the UI has been completely revamped, with several newcomer features that will change your game and THE game.
Here’s a breakdown of some highlights from DumaOS 4:
Geofilter 2.0, a whole new Geofilter solution that works more effectively for virtually any online game. SmartBOOST is the brand new evolution of QoS,automatically adjusting to give everything the optimal amount of bandwidth at any given moment. Steady Ping heralds the arrival of our long-awaited Anti-Jitter technology (that’s right, it’s finally here). By sacrificing a tiny ping buffer, you ‘lock-in’ a ping that doesn’t fluctuate. Now, every game feels as smooth as the last. And more, all in a completely overhauled UI! This thread acts as both the announcement and discussion thread for the Netduma R3 - ask questions and get as excited as we are!
To answer some of the questions we expect to hear for the R3 and DumaOS 4, we’ve put together some ‘Pre-FAQs’:
Will DumaOS 4 be coming to the Netduma R2 or NETGEAR Nighthawk Pro Gaming routers (XR500/XR700/XR1000/XR450/XR300)?
We fully intend to get DumaOS 4 on the Netduma R2 - we’re expecting this to be a straightforward task so the wait won’t be long. If you own an R2 and would like to be notified when DumaOS 4 is available to you, please enter your email here.
However, for Nighthawk Pro Gaming routers, we have some more unfortunate news: as things stand, DumaOS 4 will not be coming to these units. As you can probably tell, it has been a challenge getting these models onto DumaOS 3.3, for reasons outside of our control. We have been able to get the XR500, XR450 and XR700 onto 3.3 via  open beta firmwares. And this week we received an XR1000 firmware from NETGEAR (running DumaOS 3.3) which is going through our internal testing now. 
So as things stand right now, the only way to get your hands on DumaOS 4 currently is to purchase a Netduma R3.
How much will the Netduma R3 cost?
We always try to provide good value for the hardware we’re responsible for, and because of that the Netduma R3 is landing with a launch discount, pricing it at $199.99 (exc. VAT) / £179.99 / €199.99. This price point won’t last forever, but we want people who support us early on the benefit from doing so.
What are the Netduma R3 hardware specs?
We worked hard to decide the final spec of the Netduma R3. It has WiFi 6 with really good WiFi coverage across your home (we tested this extensively and it’s a LOT better than the R2), a quad-core CPU and all the RAM and Flash memory we’ll ever need. Our overall aim was to use hardware that was really solid without charging you guys and arm and leg to buy it  
The full list of the Netduma R3 hardware spec can be found on our site, at the bottom of product page. Check it out!
CPU/WiFi Chip used: Broadcom BCM6756
Where can I learn more about DumaOS 4?
You can check our website for more about each of the newcomers to DumaOS 4, and stay tuned for our upcoming video series covering each feature in a little more detail.
Will DumaOS 4 arrive on Telstra Optimiser and EE WiFi Enhancer?
Yes, both platforms will be updated with the latest DumaOS features down the road.
Is the R3’s WiFi better than the R2?
We paid special attention to ensuring that the R3’s WiFi performs well, to cover all areas as a solid router for any home. The WiFi specifically in the R3 is Dual-Band Gigabit AX3000, providing a far better WiFi experience than the R2 in terms of range and throughput.
I have pre-ordered. When will my R3 be sent?
We expect routers to arrive in December, and we’ll begin shipping pre-orders as soon as stock arrives on a first-ordered-first-sent basis. 
What this means is that while we can’t give a specific shipping date to cover every order, we expect that every R3 preorder will be fulfilled before Christmas.
Can I buy a Netduma R2 instead of a Netduma R3?
The Netduma R2 is now officially out of stock, and we have no plans for renewing the stock.
Has the Netduma R3 been beta tested?
Yes! A selection of beta testers from the forum have extensively tested the R3 and worked with us to make sure it’s great. A huge special thanks to them for helping us (and keeping things quiet until now!)
Does the RGB look cool?
Yes, it looks very cool. But if you are no fun at parties, they can also be turned off 😛
