@lilstone87 to explain my feelings to you from my last post is total frustration, I understand and appreciate what you are trying to do ... I really do man ... Yet faith got lost as sand into the wind and if wasn't for loyal customers that somehow still here like me with hope that the last debacle with the other infamous "Beta" was just a Dantesque infernal and perverted bad dream to wake up from, and see after more than a year something to say damn I was really just having a bad dream... But yet here we are again with the same configuration of last time which if u ask me scares the living hell out of me (yes I want the damn new firmware and be proud) ... All I am saying come on guys surprise us ... Don't let the Community waiting months over months again ... That being said big thanks to Fraser and Alex for their impeccable service. Sorry again for long post but had clear few things out from last rant... and thanks lilstone87 again for trying to untangle the frustration ....

after 5 years i'm very tired of all this ... this is a very summarized version of my personal experience with this Company. in late 2015 i got the R1 which served the purpose on ADSL connection and somewhat controlled few aspects of my gaming, years went by as NetDuma empty promises over and over and Over. Yet technology improved so internet for most part as ISP had at least here in Europe comply with whatever was going on around them so connections got a lot better so wifi-routers (Netduma functionalities becomes obsolete) ... Now one day we've been informed of a partnership with Netgear which sure has some good hardware but never ever had good service nor maintenance (Software is obnoxious) on wifi-routers so to me all this sounded kinda of fishy ... but nevertheless said hey maybe they have a chance to redeem themselves, so for NetDuma which that point filled us with empty and painful waiting and a promised land that never came (the infamous new Beta version ... Anyone remembers).... Still on faith i tried extensively the xr500 and then the xr700 which both have great hardware potential but neither have demonstrated software wise any of that ... not going to sit here and list all the problems that both have cuz frankly is embarrassing especially on security side (not Netduma fault for most part .. i know) Still updates are nonexistent as Netgear customer service ... So gave away both routers to the shop and got an Asus RT-AX88U installed merlin and finally forgot it all about it ... back to the real world ... Now this PR stunt all over again in spite of all that had already happened.. once again Netgear get it first then maybe the outdated R1 and all comes down to a Beta which gives at first look of what ? Really !!! Geo fencing and few other things justify all this waiting all over again ? and you guys already working on 3.1 ... seriously... come on guys... You cannot even get a 3.0 Beta out properly and to you say we already working on 3.1.. hellooo... is this for Real !!! Not to mention all the PR from Netgear when you buy the router which none ever happened, but hey we promised you something so wait for it ... I don't know why i even wrote this post, maybe got really frustrated by this complete non sense (False Marketing and PR) or just maybe had to get it all out once and for all ... and put my R1 in his original box full of promises and wait to become what should already been ... Still Just my humble opinion on Company that has a very Unique idea/way on how to treat loyal or new customers ... So long
