Guest Killhippie Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Just saw on Scan UK that the R9000 which is the router the XR700 is built off of has been made EOL. I hope that does not mean the XR700 may go the same way. It seems Netgear is having a bit of a cull on older AC gear that's expensive and maybe didn't sell hugely well. https://www.scan.co.uk/products/netgear-r9000-nighthawk-x10-ad7200-72gbps-80211ac-ad-quad-stream-wi-fi-router-mu-mimo-10-gbe-sfpplus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfie Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I saw that too, they are pushing towards AX as that’s the future. How long will the R7800 remain is questionable too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3CR0 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 No doubt they'll start putting DumaOS on the AX gear next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, not sure really tbh time will tell. a RAX200 with DumaOS would be silly money, I'd prefer a Asus if it came to that, I'm happy without DumaOS on my RAX120 tbh, needs change as time passes I guess.

Newfie Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Do you need it on AX. To be honest the RAX120 I have is a great router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends some gamers want the extra fine controls which is okay, I cant be bothered to game with a laptop or app open as well as a game for my needs tbh.

But if they're gonna start EOL'ing the XR series... they're not gonna just dump DumaOS altogether so they gotta start putting it on something.

Newfie Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Perhaps in house is the future or it hangs on 3.0. Who knows but let’s hope Duma succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the RAX80 as thats buggy or maybe the RAX20 as thats much cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be good if they could just make it on their own tbh, and with better hardware like the XR series has in the future. Thats how Netduma will make it big by not joining up with third parties and doing all the heavy lifting themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just basic router with DumaOS software, no wifi. Then you simply pick the wifi acces point of your liking. New wifi standard? Buy a different wifi acces point.

That could be expensive, but I see what you mean but a new Wi-Fi standard may mean a new base Netduma router too. Maybe a dumb router terminal and the software is on a server and then Wi-Fi chipset compatibility would not be such an issue then.

At the moment its been a bit hard work with people adding AX routers onto less powerful AC devices, but a truly modular system would amazing, same chipset throughout for or for true compatibility Wi-Fi standards so you could maybe mix and match chipsets, who knows.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 26, 2020 Administrators Share Posted May 26, 2020 We're not planning to end support for the XR700, especially given 3.0 will give it a new lease of life. We're still supporting the R1 5 years later so I can't see this being a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like any company if sales are not high on older expensive tech they stop selling them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
