People with problems will report these problems, people without problems have no need to do that, this might be the reason why it looks like it is a total mess.
Because of your post I will share my experiences with this router so far. The router was already running "good enough" for me on the last firmware, I had to change a couple of things in the settings. I installed this new firmware this morning, reset everything to factory default. So far everything runs smoothly without changing anything. I did disable WiFi, but that is because I have my accespoints throughout the house.
I was never tempted to switch back to my old (R2) router because the troubles I had were manageable. I'm not saying the people complaining in here have no reason to do this. Clearly there are problems for them! With this post I just want to make clear that there are people happy with the hardware and software, And I'm sure future updates will only make this a better product!

Before this update my Xbox showed NAT as moderate. After de update it shows OPEN!

I'm happy with this router, but I knew I was jumping on the train early. I know that with early releases there will always be unwanted bugs. This team seems to be on top of this and are working hard to tackle these bugs.

Hi @Hotchin88,
Although the forums may not reflect it, there are a lot of satisfied owners, myself included. 
Yes there are some issues which some users are facing which are important to them but they will get fixed. 
For gaming, and lets face it that's what we got the R3 for wasn't it, the experience is awesome now. When it arrives, put release .40 on it, do a factory reset and configure it as you like it. Then try some games out, I'm sure you will like it. If not you have the option to return.
 

Depends on your setup etc. We’re seeing posts mainly here of people that need assistance. I get that, if it’s not working for you then it’s a little frustrating, especially if you have a set up in family house with wife and  kids on your back about the connection.
The flip side of that coin is when it does work. I have two R3’s (one launch and one received a week or two later). 
These R3’s are at different locations (with FTTP and FTTC connections). I split my week between the two sites.  Both work on the whole on .40 and I’ve had some absolutely brilliant hit reg on both R3’s playing BF2042.
The main issue I have is with both R3s is Wifi range.
Reaching devices like the Ring doorbell for example.
Netduma are aware and are taking a 👀. I’m confident things will get resolved. There will be more firmware updates. Resolving issues a step at a time.
