You don't have to use a Flint2 Open-wrt is supported on 100's of routers.The Xr500 can be flashed with Open-wrt.... If it's something you really want to look into you will need to do some research as everyone's internet connection/requirements are different.

I did the exact same thing about 3 mths ago and I have not looked or messed with the flint 2 since... It just works once setup 👍 Like you I have owned the XR500 & R2 and was forever messing trying to get my bufferbloat under control or hit detection in COD was off or freezing etc etc, I was a constantly messing trying to get it consistent which I think is partly due to living in a busy house hold with 3 boys playing on there PC's and streaming etc but since moving over to Open-WRT everything just works including my Call of Duty games. The only thing that is lacking in the factory Open-WRT on the Flint is Geo-location but if you flash 23.05 or newer there is something called Geomate which I am yet to try, until I pluck up the courage to flash the Flint I'm using the R2 purely for the Geo-location. KinGzzy Cake is like QOS for Open-WRT supported routers if you are interested head over to forum.openwrt

I have recently flashed back and forth on the XR500 using Tftpd64 and had no issues. I was that impressed with Open-wrt that i've bought a flint2 router and selling the XR500 hence flashing it back to DumaOs

Have you tried routerlogin.net

Any updates on this? thanks

Thanks Fraser 👍

Is there any updates to this issue yet?

How are you finding OpenWRT Lupin? I am very tempted to give it a go if its more stable, is there any chance you could link me to any info to flashing OpenWRT? Thanks

Hopefully a fix will be implemented before the XR range is totally abandoned.... It's not something I would have immediately noticed and the only reason I did is whilst gaming online the game would freeze for 20 to 60 seconds and when checking the logs this line "[DumaOS] process '//usr/bin/dpiclass' died restart:true, " would be repeated every couple of seconds. I did mention it here but I probably didn't explain myself clear enough.... Thanks

Can anyone clarify if this has been fixed as I was having the same issue and reverted back to older firmware for now? Thanks

Thanks Taz, I will downgrade to the stable firmware. 👍

I have two PC's hardwired to the XR500 aswell as a Xbox series X and non of them are showing up as prioritizing traffic in QOS. I have tried just switching on the standard classified games and i have tried adding the device and creating a rule but nothing is been detected. The PC's mainly play Fornite, minecraft and Fifa and the xbox is Call of Duty. Im on the latest firmware (V2.3.2.134-dumaos33-rc14) and tried a factory reset aswell as redownloading the firmware but not having much luck.... I have had it working in the past and a little unsure when it stopped working, can anyone give some pointers as to where i might be going wrong? Thanks

I think when you add 28 to your maximum MTU the 28 is reserved for header data which gives you your optimum MTU.

I've just download and setup Beta DumaOS 4 for the R2 so was reading through this thread to try and optimize my settings. I thought you set your MTU 28 above your tested MTU which would make your MTU 1500? Thanks

I don't think SBMMOFF support console or provide .cfg files, It works off a program that is loaded onto a PC and is for PC players only.
