Hey XR500 users!
To coincide with the XR700’s Early Access release of DumaOS 3.3, we’re happy to announce that the 3.3.535 firmware for the XR500 has entered Open Beta stage.
This build is expected to go through NETGEAR’s QA process and eventually become an official release for the XR500, but in the meantime 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 with stock firmware, 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 XR500 to it first:

It’s important that you DON’T keep your XR500 on this intermediary firmware - there are known issues with it. 
In case you're not sure 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: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n5nk0fxkhzosvp2/XR500-V2.3.2.134-dumaos33-rc14.img?dl=0 
This firmware also contains multiple fixes and improvements to DumaOS and we’re confident in it as a candidate for NETGEAR to release fully for the XR500. All of us here hope you enjoy using it.
If you are having trouble upgrading/get incorrect firmware file when upgrading to the firmware from the intermediary firmware:
