I followed the steps listed by jodafi when I had restarted and had hte error "Dumaos is not loaded yet...", but I wanted to clarify a few things for others that wasn't as immediately obvious to me. Completely stock XR700 running 1.0.1.50. Monthly restart revealed the error and it immediately cost me 4 hours with my family on a Friday night. Whoever 'effed this up needs a firm nudge in the nads. Handy pre-start tip - If you have a lot of address reservations, port forwards etc. screen grab each page and paste it into Word so you can quickly re-enter later. 1. I downloaded http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/XR700/XR700-V1.0.1.20.zip, extracted it 2. Then I logged in through this address http://routeripaddress/adv_index.htm to access the Netgear end of the Firmware 3. I accessed this address http://routeripaddress/debug.htm and clicked "enable telnet" 4. Clicked /Administration/Firmware Update/Browse , selected the unzipped file "XR700-V1.0.1.20.img" and then clicked 'upload'. 5. Once it was installed and rebooted, I factory reset it by holding in the reset button for more than 10 seconds. I used a toothpick. 6. Once it had rebooted, I then set up the router as usual with admin and password, however, once setup, it would still return back to the error. 7. I used CMD in windows, run as administrator and then typed "telnet routeripaddress (type your router ip address here) 8. It will ask you for your router password that you just set up. 9. Then i followed this part of jodafi's earlier post but importantly, you need to copy paste the whole lot. I got stuck here because I couldn't paste into CMD. You have to right click the Window title bar (the bit you grab when you drag a window around the screen) then click 'edit' and paste the whole lot into CMD. Then press enter. Once this is done, you should be good to set it up again with your login details etc. I also upgraded to the latest Netduma OS for this router and it feels snappy and happy. Not touching it until it dies again!

Hey guys, I just restarted my completely stock XR700 running 1.0.50 or whatever FW and I've now got the "Dumaos is not ready yet" and my wifi access has stopped. My ethernet network is fine but no wifi. What can I do??

That's good to hear Fraser thank you. I do wish sometimes that when playing Destiny for instance, that I might be more competitive, but do the upgrades address the issues that surround online play? I suppose, what are the upsides of updating firmware?

Sorry I'm super late to this thread, but I have stayed on NG FW version XR700 V1.0.1.50 and I would like to update, mainly so I can delete the old devices that accumulate. I am worried that I might break functionality with cameras and network setup, but can I ask what the general consensus is? Are there lots of successful upgrades and are the issues relatively minimal? I would appreciate any feedback at all
