Netduma Admin 1,887 Posted July 23 Hi Everyone - the Netduma R2 has arrived: The R2 has been built for DumaOS 3.0 from day one and is available for pre-order now, including a launch discount for early orders. As our latest in-house router, we will be able to deploy the next wave of DumaOS features to the R2 first. The R2 will officially ship from August 6th. https://www.netduma.com/order/netduma-r2/ From all of us at Netduma, thank you for your continued support over the years. Without you, none of this would be possible. Finally - to the R2 beta testers. THANK YOU.

mathmath51 3 Posted July 23 Does it mean the deal with Netgear is off and that if we want a reliable router with regular working update we need to switch? Is that the result of two years of working hybrid releases with Netgear? 1 Rambo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, our relationship with Netgear is still going strong and we'll be supporting all of their Nighthawk Pro Gaming routers going forward. If you're a Nighthawk Pro Gaming user, you won't be missing out on any new DumaOS features. 7 Kostas83, Rambo, Squizz and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedBull2k 445 Posted July 23 I would guess the deal they had with netgear is the reason that they had the money to venture out and were able to do their own. 3 titofuenla, Killhippie and Rambo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing changes with that. Think of the R2 as an addition to the DumaOS lineup. We’ll keep adding more and more testers to the R1 beta, and we’re working with Netgear to do the same with theirs. Biggest difference with the R2 is it’s all ours from the bottom up. This means we can get new firmwares to the R2 in the shortest time possible. 8 2 TrayDay, fuzzy clam, PharmDawgg and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s been invaluable having the R2 in getting 3.0 ready for beta for all DumaOS routers. 1 hour ago, zxsimba said: Finally!

The R2 itself is something we have been able to do thanks to the success of the R1 The success with Netgear has enabled us to grow our team, which in turn meant we could make DumaOS 3.0 (with much more to come!). 2 titofuenla and fuzzy clam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whole aim with the R2 was to get the latest DumaOS on solid, functional hardware at a price many could afford. WiFi 6 would be awesome, but price for that would be >$300. 2 minutes ago, TrayDay said: Yes, looking at the tech spec. It's listed pre-installed.

So everyone with AX is stuffed as there won't be any devices that support it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
major masingil 299 Posted July 23 I ordered mine! Please tell me you've worked out the kinks with wifi calling. I would hate to have to put the R2 on the shelf until that's solved 1 PharmDawgg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sidestep6 11 Posted July 23 What is the actual CPU specs? It just lists "Multi-threaded Dual Core Processor" under the tech specs. I'm just curious how it stacks up against the Netgear lineup. 2 raf1212 and Locosano reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kostas83 35 Posted July 23 That means that 6th August it will be release the dumaos 3.0 on the XR routers?? Or you send it with the beta?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're a Nighthawk Pro Gaming user, you won't be missing out on any new DumaOS features. So now you'll have 5 routers to support. The outdated R1 (sorry), 3 Netgear that you'll need validation from them to be authaurized to release anything on them and your new flagship that should be the center of attention. These routers have different specs so will require more testing and validating. Are you still confident that you can support all of that in the same roadmap without having to delay version for one of these routers or worse, skip feature because Netgear said no or the R1 can't handle it?
