Sunaikinti Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 I agree. I started this post. It's nothing but drama. At least it got a hotfix for the xr500 and a beta for the xr700. But in the end it's just a lot of crying and needs to be deleted entirely! Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngearftard Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Update on packet loss issues mentioned above: with tech appt. scheduled, ISP line crew manager called me (to my surprise) to let me know they were working on a local, physical issue affecting a number of customers (node maybe?), thus my appt. would be unnecessary, and that he would call me to let me know when they're done. Sorry to clutter up thread with what turned out to be some very off topic posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also that post contain information that was not meant to be in the public domain at the present time, another good reason to get rid of that thread. As Alex said the firmware does exist and it is being tested.This is why trust and in some cases a NDA are so important. Now I think everything has been said that can be said about this new firmware subject and can I ask for one of the mods here to separate the firmware rumour update from the main thread thread and then lock it please. It’s probably best all round I asked for the user to be blocked or removed and his posts removed. Looks like they did the whole thing. 😁 I think that XR500 had posted prematurely and NG didn't want that info out just yet. I see they removed my linked posts to that thread as well in some other threads I thought might have been beneficial. Presumptuous on my part. Ya, there's no need for any inflammatory, hate or violence in these forums. Were here to help each other. If users are having a bad time for feeling like there not getting what they paid for and don't want to wait it out, return the unit and find something that does. Stop wasting your time and everyone elses. Move along. There more important things to be not bothered by in the world. 😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Killhippie Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Read Derren Brown's book 'Happy"' if you have not already. Lots about just what you were taking about, and taking a more stoic approach to life. After all no point in getting upset about things you can't control, yes you can debate and think about them but not to the point they stress you out, or you start feeling depressed or fixated let alone angry. Life is to short to worry about lumps of metal and plastic of any kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Before you attempt make sure to do factory reset. I had to trick the xr500 firmware to install, read below. I'm not responsible for damages. That is how I managed to successfully reinstall xr500 from ddwrt. So goto firmware upgrade in router settings, next select the xr500 firmware. Now when you click upgrade it's going to goto that upgrade successful page. The all white one. Now in that same white page just refresh it or go-to address bar and click go OR if there is an upgrade button there click it. Link should look like 192.168.1.1/upgrade.cgi or similar. The router will appear to not respond and the power light will flash that Amber color like it was in a boot loop. Now, use that tftp command to flash xr500 firmware again it will successfully flash. I flashed it in cmd prompt. That's how I got back to my dumaos firmware and it's working. Also, surprisingly all default settings like WiFi name and WiFi password we're back to original. ***You might want to do first reset 30-30-30 or whatever."

Mrbchambers Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 So after all the huffing and puffing about new firmware, I finally have seen an option to install the latest V2.3.2.56. I followed the steps through the firmware update page in the router, the router reset and nothing seems to have changed the firmware version in the setting screen still has V2.3.2.40 for the firmware version. When I go to the update page now it says there is no new firmware available. What is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlpotter76 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 OK Netduma, where is the new Feature Set Firmware that you all promised. Just because we got the Netgear side FW does not mean we forgot about your side that you all promised. Where is Netduma at on this FW release? I know the community is behind me 100% on this. Please provide a response that will be well received from the community. A comment like we are working on it, or we are not able to discuss these items is not acceptable at this time. Going on 1 year without updated DumaOS features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we can't give you the answer that you're looking for, when we provide any news/updates that's as soon as we can do that and cannot provide any information beforehand. We've recently posted about what we are working on, hopefully that will give you some hope on what will be coming in the future: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to download the latest XR500 here: https://kb.netgear.com/000061157/XR500-Firmware-Version-2-3-2-56 and then follow this guide to install it https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP you might just be able to upgrade normally but this would be the safest method coming from another OS.

Mercenary Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I tried installing it normally but it won't install I had the 2019 version of the OS he installed but I installed the latest version of 2020 it's a beta I don't understand why he did that so I kicked him off the internet uhhh The basic zip file wouldn't install so what I did is I downloaded a bin file that actually installed it I couldn't install the XR500 update though for some reason it's not letting me install the zip file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercenary Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I'm smart enough to install this OS but I never did I knew this would void the warranty so I never did that I got so mad when somebody else did that I accidentally kept my control panel on the router the basic original setup I kept admin admin and I kept password password which I don't understand why I kept that okay and now I'm going to change that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also need to make sure you follow the instructions properly, it says to extract the .img file from the zip folder, then use that with TFTP.

Maybe don't muck around with it any more and all will be fine. Also maybe move the router higher and away from that light which kicks out RFI...
