my wifi used to be working great except for the range was mid compared to the xr500 but now even before updating it keeps disconnecting.(also after updating but i mention it became problematic before the update to indicate nothing changed within the same firmware suddenly wifi went bad) either: -one of the wifi channels disappears, often the 2.4ghz but also can happen to the 5ghz -the device stays connected but says: connected no internet (happens randomly either on 2.4 or 5) -authentication error when a phone disconnects and tries to reconnect to a channel, can happen to both 2.4 and 5 again. -lan sometimes disconnects from the internet but that rarely happens, the wifi problem is every day almost 24/7. have pppoe and vlan, can't use anything else coz it's fiber straight to my duma nothing in between (was given to me) xr500 had vlan issues where if that was enabled or pppoe with vlan idk. devices couldn't communicate with eachother(like seeing a chromecast) and upload congestion control wasn't working(probably qos upload as a whole). that is why i bought a r3 and those issues seem fixed but now i guess there are new problems tied to pppoe or vlan? reboots also often don't seem to work, maybe after a couple and sometimes like 5 reboots the wifi works normal for a couple hours.

on the nighthawk xr500 there are a lot of issues related to vlan that is why I ordered a r3, kinda weird that the same issues are popping up on the r3 biggest issue was that devices couldn't see/communicate with eachother when vlan was on. for example casting to a chromecast wouldn't work, it wouldn't even show up. ftp and anything that needs devices to be visible on the network didn't work second issue was that qos wasn't working properly, for example when setting congestion control it wouldn't work on the upload speed, the speed wouldn't be limited and just goes 100% while the download did work and get limited. as a fix for Netflix i created a hotspot on my phone and routed internet through that but this was obviously not sufficient for streaming vr, really hope that this is not necessary for the r3, defeats the purpose of upgrading. (using another modem like my isp's router/modem isn't an option because they didn't give me one only an ont, ripp.)

from my experience the Spain, Italy and bottom France ones are the best sbmm wise. Whenever I queue without geofilter I get plat and diamond lobbies but with spain and italy I get the biggest drop in mmr but it takes a very long time to find a match, so I added the bottom france server and that way I get less skilled lobbies than normal but with good queue times. After the demonware change it doesn't seem to work anymore especially when i queue with other people. It just sucks that it is now in the Netherlands because from my experience whenever a server from any game is located in the netherlands you get a lot more cheaters and worse hitreg, that's why i force the UK server for R6 Siege instead of the Netherlands one. This Season I was playing Siege on the Netherlands server and my kd was dropping to 1 (normally i'm a 2kd in siege) so I switched to the UK server where I see the same skill level (platinums) but now suddenly all my bullets register and I bounced back to a 2 kd, it is now even 3 for the season. So in short, whenever a server is in the Netherlands I can't play because of shitreg. Also I have 9-16 ping in The Netherlands and around 20-28 in the UK yet my hitreg is way better in the uk. And on top of that I play shooters around 10 hours a day and aim train a LOT so I know when a shot should be a hit, even when I record gameplay in the Netherlands server you can clearly see the bullet firing onto someones head and nothing happens yet in the UK everything is fine. As for Warzone I can't say anything about the hitreg in the netherlands because there I only play 140hz instead of 240 but the TTD (time to death) feels way quicker in the Netherlands than when I play on italy or spain. Bottom france one seems 50/50 sometimes good sometimes bad. When the TTD feels quicker you get shot by a bullet and the next bullet feels like 4 in one (super bullet) which makes you unable to move behind cover or react at all, This problem for me is the worst in the Netherlands. UK, Top France, Germany, Switserland seem to have more cheaters so I try to avoid them. Spain had the least amount of cheaters but it is very hard to get in to that server without a vpn geo filter combo which I can't do, Italy has some but you have a higher chance of a normal lobby over their and bottom france is a 50/50 experience but because that has the best queue times I include it in my geo filter. Sorry for the big wall of text I really hate sbmm and whatever is going on in the Netherlands because every game that hosts over here is unplayable for me.

Did the mw/warzone authentication/demonware server change locations from the us to the Netherlands? O_O

That would be great, from where do you ship and how long would that normally take? I'm worried that due to the pandemic it would get a lot of delays. Also in the netherlands you get screwed over a lot by vats even when already handled, they still try to get you to pay extra which is weird and borderline criminal.

ah ok thanks, I know that giving a date is impossible with all the testing that is needed that's why I wanted an unfinished version. But if it's so instable that I can't use it than I might as well buy an upgrade. It just sucks that in the netherlands you can't buy a netduma from a reputable store and I don't really want to support netgear since they bottleneck the cheaper versions through software.

simple question is it coming this month yes or no answer only please. xr300 beta doesn't matter if it works because I'm gonna throw the router away when I buy a new one, or blow it up and post a youtube link if anyone is interested.

-.-

The stripped version isn't a beta - it's a security update for the 2.0 version, unfortunately named the same. Here is the latest beta which hasn't even really been officially released but it is the most stable in my opinion. Sorry, forgot the link! https://www.dropbox.com/s/4mwe5sx81gsc129/XR500-V2.3.2.114-DumaOS3.0.203.img?dl=0 Like is shown above, you guys were giving out unreleased firmware which I like to request, i did not ask if it the beta was publicly available. If the other could be given out while being unreleased I would like the same for xr300 Or at least tell me why that is not possible and also give me a straight answer to these following questions. Why can't you give me a beta build that supports vpn(while other user got unreleased firmware) and will it be possible within a month? becaues if not that really is no problem, I just need to know because that way I can buy the other XR! else I will wait a month for nothing! Don't let me wait, just need some answers and not the ol razzle dazzle soonTM answer

Dear Netduma, Could you send me the beta dropbox for xr300? I don't care how unstable it is or if it bricks my router because I need 3.0 features and if it isn't available withing a month I'll buy an xr that does have 3.0. I get that it isn't finished but I really don't care if it's an unstable build because at least that way i'll use the xr300, right now I don't even want to use it and will buy another router anyway that does support vpns. I understand if you don't want to send me the beta if it contains sensitive information or whatever but if it is at risk of being unstable or brick my router I really don't care. Hope it isn't a legal issue that you can't send me the beta img. Thanks for reading this, Have a nice day!
