R1 DumaOS Briefly Delayed


Netduma Luke

Recommended Posts

My thought entirely. If you are deleting posts that in you opinion have false information then why has the very first post in this thread by Netduma Luke not been deleted?. I quote "It should take, at absolute most, a few more weeks. Nothing more as we have everything else working"

If the goal posts have moved then give me one reason why we havent been updated.

Here's the situation, I have no problem with my R1, it usually does what I ask it to, dumaos might be better, but I don't know. I do have a problem with being lied to though, and that is what is happening here. I am a patient man, but the childlike, lack of communication is leaving kind of a bad taste in my mouth.~ there I vented~

Is the partnership with Netgear preventing you from releasing the DUMAOS on the R1. Is that the real reason that the software hasn't been released and the reason the lawyers got involved at the last minute?  

 

That would explain the lack of communication.

I wouldn't have thought so. I'd have thought those sort of terms would have been set in stone before any deal was done.

I agree completely with you. Just coming back from a suspension myself, and I still strongly believe that buying a product entitles me to comment on it for better or for worse. And I don't see myself stopping, just because someone is too quick on the banhammer.

Yep, they suspend me every time I comment. lol see you all in a couple of days.

If the goal posts have changed, give me one good reason that the netduma vommunity haven't been updated.

You won't get suspended if your posts are appropriate. Your next suspension will be the 3rd strike though.

Ian is on a short vacation now as his twitter states. Not that I think he doesn't deserve it. But it clearly tells me they are not actively working on getting the update released. Instead, it seems to be more like they totally ignore it (or they have it ready yet and cant release because of contract rules with Netgear which would be even more depressing).

Absolutely disappointing and dishonesty at its best slapped in the face of loyal customers. Just a shame.

I think I've sort of made my depressing peace with this.

I won't be expecting the update anytime soon, and clearly this forum isn't a place where disappointed customers can vent either, lest they break any arbitrary rule. Posts have been deleted on Facebook, Twitter only serves when you say something positive (which by the looks of it, isn't a frequent occurrence), and all evidence points to either complete disregard or lack of a convincing answer (take your pick).

 

I won't be pressured into spending yet another bundle for the XR500 regardless of how good/bad it is. I believed in the company once, I'll keep my current Duma, since apparently I should be grateful I paid $200 for a $50 routerboard and $150 vaporware, but I won't recommend the company, and won't post anything positive until things take a drastic change, specially communication-wise.

 

Being objective, silence is the worst form of marketing and it never bodes well. I guess ironically, the message is loud and clear.

It does also state that 'new features are to come on DumaOS, just need to get the R1 done first.'  It's still coming I'm sure of that.

I think that a company like netgear is not happy that another router could have the same OS of their new top router, because it will cause a loss of possible customers (the  current owners of r1).

 

But i don't believe that they didn't discuss of this hypothesis before to sign the partnership... so i don't know ...

I'm sure it isn't that.

 

That would have been the first thing Iain and the team would have spoken to Netgear about (or Netgear would have spoken to them about) before reaching an agreement.

It hasn't.

It was.  He quoted me without any text from himself.  In the next comment, he put his thoughts. To be fair, most mods on other forums would have either deleted his post or edited them to a single post. 

 

But he did have the first post deleted.

Well it was there when I looked and it's there now, there's two post the same (except for some typos).

And after a post has been deleted, it can't be undeleted as far as I know.

The post that was deleted was a post where he only quoted me but didn't add a comment.  He then posted again with his comments.  The first post, without anything but my quote, was the one deleted.

 

Again, most mods elsewhere would have deleted it or combined it. I'm not saying whoever took action was wrong.  I'm just pointing out that he/she/gender pronoun did, in fact, have a post deleted.

LOL..  "really , no shit? ,eh Ian?"

 

Judging the past and if Ians statement are truly the case id say the odds of that happening are slim and none and DumaOS will never get new features :)

Of course that one was deleted, it didn't have any content. I removed it because it was just a quote of the thing written directly above it. Standard procedure.

 

That's clearly not the post he's talking about though. He said "so I post again..." and then posted something else that he'd already said - that hadn't been deleted.

Sorry done the same again, quoted then replied. Colonic I can assure you both my quote post and my reply were deleted thats why I posted again. Then when I saw your reply saying it wasnt I checked back, and suprise it had miraculously appeared again.

To my knowledge the net Duma team are a U.K. based company and market all over the world including the EU. Look I’m not suggesting anything however when reading about false advertising the practice we’ve endured as consumers are within the realms of false advertising. Especially with the dead silence recently.

 

For anyone who is interested: In particular this Act protects consumers from misleading advertisements and ensures that trade is fair. Under the Act it is an offence for an advertiser/trader to make false claims about goods, services or prices. ... EU laws also ensure that misleading advertising is forbidden in all Member States... Careful guys people could have claims...
