If you are technically minded then you could buy something like a raspberry pi and install PiHole. Pihole blocks all adverts on your network. It's very easy to do if you are technically minded.

There is an open session on this game for a few days. Might be worth downloading it and doing your testing @Netduma Fraser

Sent you a PM about this. i cant see any extra forum about testing?

I agree with you there.

I really hope it has. My XR500 has been sitting in the cupboard for 18 months.

Thats Great news. I'm ready to test if you need anyone. My router has been sitting in the cupboard for a while now.

@Netduma LiamWhat's the latest on this ? Have you had the firmware back from netgear with the fix? Is it getting any closer to release time?

Tbh Ive been waiting since march 2021 for netduma/Netgear try to fix the DHCP issues. The netduma team do work hard and I appreciate that but updates/firmware releases are not netduma or Netgear strong point. You only have to look at the previous history of updates to see that. Takes for too long.

But then you have basic but key features on a router that just don't work correctly. DHCP! I have been waiting for 12 months now for a firmware update to fix the DHCP issues. Sorry but 12 months is more then enough time for a company to fix an urgent issue like this.

Thank you for the answer. Have you updated it since season 12 has gone live last week?

How often does the Netduma Cloud get updated for Apex Legends?

Just to let you know apex legends have deployed more servers over the last few days. Just so you can update the server list. Hopefully one day I can come back and enjoy the xr500 and netduma software again!

when games load i can see all the servers but then it goes off like normal. but then when im searching for a game in COD,Apex,fifa i get no icons/symbols at all.

I'm not sure if this is an issue or not but i have the geo-filter on filtering mode but when im in game or connecting to a game., i cannot see anyone on the geo-filter map. Ive zoomed all the way out and nothing.

Okay so i downloaded the firmware again and flashed it again and then factory reset and ive not had the issue for the last few hours. i will keep an eye on it and report back in a day or so

Nope the issue is still there. nothing loads. i just get an error straight away. if i click on another section. i get the error again.

i have done a factory reset and the issue is still there. This router was the waste of 250 pound.

Do you mean doing a factory before applying the beta firmware. if so then yes i did.

I updated the firmware around a month ago to the beta 3.0 firmware and im still getting this issue. 3.0 firmware did a fix a few of my issues that i have with this router but its no way near the price tag i paid for it. XR500 is extremely slow going from section to section.

XR500 - Ive just noticed the new firmware is out for an open Beta. I will update tonight and see if my issues are fixed.

Any idea when i may get the beta? I have a 250 pound router collecting dust atm

I had a look last night and the FW has changed versions now. I played around 3 hours of Fortnite last night and my ping was around 10ms to 15ms on all servers i connected too.

I have noticed a difference in the connection with my Super Hub 3 the last few days. Generally my ping has been around 30's but the last few days its been around 10ish in most games. I have also ran a ping plotter test and its a stable connection with no spikes after 5 Hours.
