Fraser...could you please check your Pm's and get back with me. I know you're extremely busy and may have overlooked it, appreciate it man

Awesome video! Looks amazing, so excited for you guys!

That is super strange but I will let the team know about it so they can investigate.

I've responded to your topic, lets try and get you access first and we can go from there. All you have to do for a reset is hold the reset button in the back down for 30 seconds then release. Wait a few minutes for the router to boot up.
A switch is generally transparent to the router, might be possible with a managed switch perhaps if it gives devices connected to it an IP on a different subnet. Glad you're enjoying the router so far!
Response from a Dev is that we will attempt to reproduce this issue on our end.

The new R2 is really solid IMO, I love the features that duma has always offered. Even though I had to only use ISP equipment for about 10 days...it was horrible. We recently moved and I had to get a new modem and router due to a speed increase, so I used a new ISP Modem with the dreaded Puma 6 chipset and it was absolutely horrible, huge spikes and latency. So after I got my new modem my R2 showed up and it's everything I expected it to be. It's nice to use my own equipment again and it's great to see you added 5g to the router, so cool. I can simply use one modem and router as opposed to my old set up which was modem, duma and my netgear in AP mode..so much simpler this way, less equipment,less wires which takes up less space.
And just to find out for myself I set it up and tried to run it through Safari on my mac and it wouldn't run for me. It would load up a game and let me get into a lobby and then I would lose the chat and then I would get booted from the game (Apex) but that was before I did any port forwarding, so Might have to try it again now that I have all the ports forwarded. It shouldn't have did that just because of the ports but as soon as I ran it on Chrome it ran like butter. I always ran it through Chrome on the R1 but wanted to see what would happen on Safari.
I would say a great job by the testers and the team, the new features are really helpful and the old features are solid as ever, great router boys.

While I understand anyone having issues with the shipping costs, I'm personally fine with it. DHL is great and I've gotten orders from Andy at Ultimarc in the UK to my house in the US in two days. You pay for quality.

Without QoS the R2 should reach close to gigabit speeds so if you want QoS at those higher speeds then the XR would be the better choice.

I've got some more information for you. It still does run about the same speed - this is the same on the XR routers as well. However, we have an idea we are looking into on how we can massively improve this. Once it is ready we'll provide an update for free via the Rapp store.
With QoS on it can reach 300-400mbps currently but we're looking into optimizing this further to improve the max throughput. With QoS off it can reach near gigabit speeds.

You have to weigh up what you need from your router, the XR500 has more powerful hardware but the R2 will get all the latest updates first.

Short answer: yes.
Long answer: The whole idea of DumaOS is for it to be hardware agnostic. Once the rapp store is fully launched, updates for different routers will be a piece of cake.
Currently we have no plans to make any hardware exclusive features. When it comes to firmware, the main difference will be the speed of updates. We expect that the R2 will be updated more quickly than the XR500 because there are less verification steps to get an R2 firmware published. That said, both are great routers and both will be updated.
The R2 can handle much faster WAN connections than the R1 could, the processor is better so that bottleneck is lifted. I don't have any hard numbers on Hybrid-VPN performance but in my personal testing I've found that it feels very responsive. It largely depends on your VPN provider and chosen server location, of course.
The R2 has better hardware in terms of processor, memory, wifi. The R2 supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz, the R1 only supports 2.4GHz. Once DumaOS 3.0 is released, the two units will have the same software features. In future, we may have to set limits for the R1 that won't be there for other units, but we have no plans to do this yet. We would never artificially limit a unit, but if a feature we develop needs more power than the R1 can provide, we won't have a choice.
That's totally fair, the XR500 is still an awesome router and we'll continue to support it with software updates.
The R2 is only a router, so you'll need a modem in addition to the R2.

Congratulations on the announcement to all of the Netduma staff.

Whole aim with the R2 was to get the latest DumaOS on solid, functional hardware at a price many could afford.

WiFi 6 would be awesome, but price for that would be >$300. 
Spot on. 3.0 is pre-installed. 

That’s right. It’s been invaluable having the R2 in getting 3.0 ready for beta for all DumaOS routers. 
Thank you!
Amazing. Thanks!

The R2 itself is something we have been able to do thanks to the success of the R1  
The success with Netgear has enabled us to grow our team, which in turn meant we could make DumaOS 3.0 (with much more to come!).

Nothing changes with that. Think of the R2 as an addition to the DumaOS lineup. We’ll keep adding more and more testers to the R1 beta, and we’re working with Netgear to do the same with theirs. 
 
Biggest difference with the R2 is it’s all ours from the bottom up. This means we can get new firmwares to the R2 in the shortest time possible. 

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.

Hi Everyone - the Netduma R2 has arrived:

The R2 has been built for DumaOS 3.0 from day one and is available for pre-order now, including a launch discount for early orders. As our latest in-house router, we will be able to deploy the next wave of DumaOS features to the R2 first.
The R2 will officially ship from August 6th.

From all of us at Netduma, thank you for your continued support over the years. Without you, none of this would be possible.
Finally - to the R2 beta testers. THANK YOU.
The ND Team

We learnt a long time ago not to make any deadlines because with development they're always subject to change. Even launching the beta the internal date changed a few times so we're not going to give a date now. As long as it takes essentially to make it as stable as possible.

Please don't do that, we're adding people fast to the beta so no need to do this. 

This is really great news. I'm trying to read all the info I can find on 3.0, I know everyone is looking forward to seeing the progress that has been made.

OMG so today I got to try out Comcast gigabit service. What a mess! The modem is an Arris TG3482G, which if you do a google search the first result pretty much explains it. Speed and ping issues like crazy. One second you'll hit 700 Mbps, the next you can barely reach 50 Mbps. Reboot the modem, speeds are back again. Ping shoot up to 3,000 ms randomly. Multiple Comcast techs and I verified that the signals are perfect so that's not an issue. Plus the modem/router only has TWO ethernet ports on it. Who gets gigabit speeds and only runs 2 wired devices to it? What a joke! Lol
 
 
TL;DR - Don't get an Arris TG3482G modem for Comcast gigabit. Other gigabit modems may be fine.

I am the best modem, trust no one else.
#TheTruthIsOutThere

I have pointed so many people to the article you posted Z about the Puma chipset and the issues with it.
 
And the thing is pinned for all to see but people continue to either A... ignore it or  B...don't believe it.
 
It's to bad when MoD is just trying to give people the heads up and share his experience with all the modems he's used and the issues he's had with said modems.
 
It would be screwed up to have to lock this HELP thread due to people getting out of hand...it's a helpful thread to most from a legit guy sharing his experiences and trying to help others...SMH

Can we all behave like adults please? This is a support forum to help people. Under my post I don't want anymore high school behaviour otherwise the ban hammer is going to make an appearance. If your post isn't about a modem I don't want to see it here.
