Administrators Netduma Luke Posted August 30, 2018 Administrators Share Posted August 30, 2018 We have some good news to share: DumaOS for the Netduma R1 is now in the final stages of beta testing! As many of you know, this has taken so much longer than we anticipated, but our developers have now resolved all the major issues. This means that DumaOS for the R1 is stable and crucially, backwards compatible, so you can go back to the original R1 firmware if you prefer. A big thank you to all the beta testers who worked tirelessly with us to get to this point. We are tidying up some last loose ends to make it ready for full release. We will let you know it is ready to download across all our media platforms. Be sure to sign up to the DumaOS mailing list so you are the first to know when it's out. Stay tuned!

I'm a current beta tester and I can confirm it is real and does work just as promised. Netduma is not lying, please refrain from using that language on the forums.

Thats a bit rich, in April the announcement was that it would be delayed a few weeks due to legal issues with the reversing the upgrade. Now its in Beta testing. These are facts. What part is not true? BTW im happy thats its working well and hopefully it will be out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TryHardUndies Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I’m currently beta testing DumaOS on the R1, I was also privileged to be involved in the XR500 & XR700 testing phases. DumaOS is beautiful & a fantastic piece of software that will enhance your gaming experience. DumaOS performs on the R1 as well as it does on the more powerful Netgear routers. Congratulations to the Netduma team, you should be proud of what you’ve achieved. Now’s the time to look forward to the imminent release, don't dwell on the past, it's been a long wait but it will be worth it, especially as it’s FREE!

If you recall, the legal issue was that we found out we had to make sure the R1 would be backwards compatible. So if you installed DumaOS and then wanted to revert back to the original R1 firmware, you could. This was a huge curve ball for us as we had to redesign how DumaOS connected into the R1. As is no doubt evident now, it turned out to be a bigger task than we expected. Thankfully, we've overcome it and we're now in the final stages of beta testing!

Since you guys are here an actually 'talking' to us about this (the silence about what happened has been deafening over the years). What's the chance of hearing the full story as to why it got delayed the two other times over the course of years not months? Your statement imply's the most recent delay as being the only reason some of us are upset. I'm actually more upset about the years thing, not the last few months. Also, I could have waited years patiently, if, Netduma staff had openly posted about why it went from months to years in the first place. I'm happy to hear it's still coming someday.

dav581005 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Please don't bring this down to the same level as the previous thread I will admit I was one of the people who were quite vocal about my disappoint but it does look like we are close to getting what we want. I for one am happy that it's coming and look forward to the next bit of news of the release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be very soon and people will like it., it is better for us who are beta testing it to make sure as many bugs/issues are ironed out as soon as possible so a great firmware that everyone has been waiting for is released smoothly.

It could be because they were contracted with Netgear to build two bad ass gaming routers that I had the pleasure of testing.

Anywho, I hope it's not months, otherwise you can expect this thread to deteriorate just like all the others. It's also much easier to defend them when you're a beta tester. You've known what's been going on for years, instead of being left in the dark like the rest of us peasants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to beta test the XR500 in July 2017 and it was released In January 2018 I'm not defending anyone, the silence was wrong. I even was in the dark for a while. But if you sign a contract and can't talk about something by a billion dollar company then you can't talk about it lol Now please keep this topic on track. The R1 update should be out soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed NDA's so we were unable to let you guys know what was going on. Please do not be rude to mods or other members on this forum. Instead be glad that this long awaited firmware is just around the corner for release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Killhippie Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I'm still under NDA's for Netgear, that's the way it goes, I think its great new stuff is coming though all the time but as beta testers for Netgear etc you cant say anything at all. I also tested the XR500 from Netgears end in its final hardware format. All I can say is BIG__DOG is right here, keep the thread clean and don't go back into dissecting the where what and who's as its not important. Netduma make great software and I'm sure working with Netgear helped them help their costumer base even more and it probably gave them a needed cash boost, who knows its not our business but just be glad you have a firmware update coming your way finally.

Albo2001 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Sorry for the reply.. But.. With all betatesters , in the Xr500 you couldnt perma ban dedis. One of the most important feature. In my opinion search for other people that could find this bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
