Boostedis300

Hi, after switching to the newest firmware I'm experiencing very low speeds using Wi-fi connection (2,4GHz and 5GHz). First screen shot shows 2.4 GHz , second 5GHz , thirds shows a router from my broadband provider. It's outrageous that I can have nearly full speed with Upload while Download remains very low (I pay for 900down and 100up). Before the update I was getting around 600 down and 100up using Netduma which was ok for my need, but having a quater of the speeds is not acceptable for me. I thought I'll revert the update and flashed older software but the problem remained the same. 
 
P.S - yes I've checked the WiFi channels congestion etc. Netduma used same settings and now it seems I can't have my old speeds.

I actually was about to say this exact same thing. I would happily pay the extra $100 for a better specced router. I love the new Duma OS and all but really feel like the router is knee capped by the hardware. Currently trying to decide if it's worth losing about 100Mb off my line to migrate to the R3 or stay on the XR1000.

We're not a hardware company and don't have the resources of some of the bigger companies out there - we might do it in future but it would be a significant risk in terms of allocating resources

Pretty easy answer to this one - it's just not necessary for the efficient functioning of DumaOS 4. I wasn't involved in hardware decisions but I'm sure it would have been very easy to go higher but there is no point bumping up the spec for no gain and an increased price. It's tempting to think of it in terms of like a computer, if you could double your RAM on your PC you'd do so no question as you'd probably see a performance bump but for the router you just wouldn't see that.
