Think about it the other way.... Why do we need so much support?? Because of multiple issues that could/should have been tested thoroughly before being sold. It feels the release was rushed to get out before Christmas and it feels we are ultimately beta testers for these faults. "Switch that function off to get something else to work" I love the whole idea of Netduma but just feels a little broken.

What "fix" are you expecting?

One of the browsers i used doesnt have any extensions. I have tried in private window as well. I have just cleared cache and cookies and its back to normal now as well (whilst having Steady Ping disabled).

It is loading a lot quicker than it was but still seeing the frames loading in

That has worked for me! The ServiceNow website has loaded instantly, since switching that. Please don't tell me, I need to start switching stuff off to be able to load websites. I purposely moved from the Xr500 to the R3 due to the amount of functions I had to disable on the Xr500 just to be able to get a stable connection for my devices. EDIT - I spoke too soon. It is better but still not right.

I use ServiceNow as part of my work and im finding that this website, regardless of browser (tried 3 with 1 having no extensions) is taking an age to load but if I load ServiceNow in Citrix, it loads instantly so i know its not a site issue. Its having trouble loading the full site by the looks of it, its loading the background colour and eventually itll load the form outlines and eventually itll load fully. Even closing and reopening I have to go through this long load times. Where do i begin in triaging this? I have disabled AdBlocker and also SmartBoost and neither have made any difference. I've tried changing the DNS to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 and also setting it back to default but neither made any difference. My PC is wired to the router as well

Did you need all customers to do this or will the shipping address give you a clue on what plug we will need? I will be having mine delivered and to be used in the UK.

Before I place my order for the R3 (see this is maybe the only way out of my numerous issues on my XR500) please can you confirm: - DHCP bug is no longer present so I can let the router allocate IPs correctly just like any router should (I would hope so as I assume netgear are no longer involved in this) - QOS isn't causing websites to no load (such as Twitch) so I don't have to no longer keep having to toggle it on and off to load a simple website?

Any updates on Twitch and Discord not loading when QOS is enabled please?

Just checked with DPI off as well as QOS and even though the AdBlocker button is able to be toggled, it does actually seem the AdBlocker is disabled regardless of if it says Enabled or Disabled.

What is happening here? As you can see QOS is disabled and AdBlocker is enabled and i have nothing in my whitelists. I cant load https://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?mid=2041&id=73243 I then disable AdBlocker, click the link again and it loads but yet QOS is still disabled?! brave_MJFwzRwJvo.mp4

When i have to disable QOS, due to sites not loading, I have spotted that, even though the message warns the AdBlocker will be disabled, it doesn't actually disable it. Is this a typo? I tested it whilst having QOS disabled and i can still disable/Enable AdBlocker. I have also tested to check if AdBlocker was actually disabled (but was reporting wrong on the button), by going to https://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?mid=2041&id=73243 and it was blocked even though QOS was disabled and AdBlocker is enabled.

Add Steam Downloads to the broken list as well please. With QOE on, Steam wont download any games. The second I turn off QOE, it starts the downloads. EDIT - After restarting the router, its now downloading with QOE on.

Discord seems to be also affected. Please see logs. Twitch eventually loaded but didnt load all the page and also Discord was stuck spinning "Checking for updates". Disabled QOE and Discord loaded in straight away. Logs attached. Hope they help log-1699900650885.txt i suspect you are after this?

To add to the broken list, Twitch is again not connecting with QOS on. Loads of posts have talked about this in the past and i cant believe we are still in the position of faulty software/hardware that cant provide basic services as advertised.

I still strongly believe there are gremlins in the QOS (of the associated functions from this). Trying to load iPlayer on my Virgin Tivo box, but it fails to load. . I then try loading it on my LG TV and again it gets to the splash screen but doesn't get any further. I disable adBlocker for the whole network thinking it might need something whitelisting later but it's still not loading on either device after a restart of the Tivo box and the TV. I check my IP reservations to check if something has come online that I haven't set a static IP between .2 and .99 (DHCP set to start at .100) and find everything has a IP of <= .99 Tried loading iPlayer once again on both devices after restarting them and still both fail to load. I disable QOE and by magic, they both now load without any issues. Why?

When i used to run a Pi-Hole, i had 2 buttons mapped on my Streamdeck so i could easily disable/enable AdBlock if i come across a page block (such as referral via QuidCo etc). I have just asked Bard (Google AI) how I can do it and its come back with the below but it doesnt work. Is what im trying to do, achieveable? If so, would someone be able to advise of the correct URL. I have tried "enable" and "enabled" but neither work. Yes, there is a URL or .bat file that you can map to your Streamdeck buttons to be able to quickly disable/enable the AdBlock function on your NetDuma Xr500 router. URL: http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/netduma/adblock/set?enable=0/1 Replace 192.168.1.1 with the IP address of your NetDuma Xr500 router. Replace 0/1 with the following: 0 to disable AdBlock 1 to enable AdBlock Example: http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/netduma/adblock/set?enable=0 This URL will disable AdBlock on your NetDuma Xr500 router.

I found this which might help you. https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-Routers/XR1000-router-firmware-1-0-0-68/td-p/2300390

Im aware of the DHCP bug so have set my DHCP to start at .100 and statically assigned my devices via the router. Im not sure if this example is a redherring as i have checked and have nothing with a .100+ IP. I had 1 drop out earlier today which resulted in the need to restart the router so i decided to then leave the System information page up so i could monitor when it happened again to help capture the logs and it dropped again. The logs i captured are below [DumaOS] DHCP lease change., Tuesday, February 21, 2023 18:05:26 [DumaOS] DHCP new event., Tuesday, February 21, 2023 18:05:26 [DHCP IP: 192.168.1.16] to MAC address 0a:21:32:53:63:d9, Tuesday, February 21, 2023 18:05:26 [DumaOS] DHCP new lease allocated., Tuesday, February 21, 2023 18:05:23 [DumaOS] DHCP new event., Tuesday, February 21, 2023 18:05:23 [DHCP IP: 192.168.1.16] to MAC address 0a:21:32:53:63:d9, Tuesday, February 21, 2023 18:05:23 [DumaOS] applying qos for zone lan, Tuesday, February 21, 2023 18:03:01 [DumaOS] applying qos for zone wan, Tuesday, February 21, 2023 18:03:01 [DumaOS] applying qos for zone lan, Tuesday, February 21, 2023 18:02:31 [DumaOS] applying qos for zone wan, Tuesday, February 21, 2023 18:02:30 [DumaOS] DHCP lease change., Tuesday, February 21, 2023 17:50:24 [DumaOS] DHCP new event., Tuesday, February 21, 2023 17:50:24 [DHCP IP: 192.168.1.2] to MAC address 90:9d:7d:6f:7e:e9, Tuesday, February 21, 2023 17:50:24 [DumaOS] applying qos for zone lan, Tuesday, February 21, 2023 17:48:56 [DumaOS] applying qos for zone wan, Tuesday, February 21, 2023 17:48:56 [DumaOS] applying qos for zone lan, Tuesday, February 21, 2023 17:48:45 [DumaOS] applying qos for zone wan, Tuesday, February 21, 2023 17:48:45 [DumaOS] applying qos for zone lan, Tuesday, February 21, 2023 17:47:34 I thought id then load up another tab for the router and check the dashboard page to see if it showed i was connected to my WAN or not when the 2nd tab then showed me You are no longer connected to your router. If your router is rebooting then keep this page open as it will automatically reconnect to the router's interface when the reboot is complete. Otherwise please check your connection e.g. you are connected to the correct router. Not sure if any of this will help with your investigations into the DHCP bug?

Excellent, I have my fingers crossed.

It's difficult for me to catch it quick enough to be able to get the logs unfortunately before the router page is not accessible as i know they would of been useful. Yes please for the beta. Im willing to try anything to get rid of this issue.

I am finding myself having to restart my Xr500 on a daily basis because of a loss of network to my devices. I am not losing my WAN connection as i have a Thinkbroadband tracking this. I have set my DHCP to start at .50 already and it's like herding sheep, trying to keep all devices below .50, especially when friends and family visit with their new devices. Its currently just me and my partner in the house and the router has frozen once again and we have lost connectivity. Restarted the router and gone into LAN set up and then clicked the ADD button to check nothing was trying to connect with a >.50 address and everything is below. Nothing is reserved in a >.50 address so i am lost as to what else i should be doing? I am really hoping this new pending update is going to be nice to me and fix this issue and rid me of this annoyance.

Is this update going to fix the DHCP bug? If so, id like to test this beta as I always getting caught out when a new device (such as family member) visits and uses the wifi and i have to manually connect it with a static IP.

If you use Brave browser (which is Chromium based), there is a specific option to disable this.

Is there a plan to sync the name of devices in Device Manager with the devices listed in LAN Setup (For when setting Static IPs)? Seems strange to have to set the names with both manually.
