Also seeing an issue where my ps4 randomly disconnects over and over for a few minutes before stabilizing. I need the 2.4 network to stay up due to my house camera's using it. Ended up disabling the r2 wifi and hooking up a netgear router in AP mode to mitigate this issue for now. Did you do a factory reset afterwards? If so then AP is the best idea for the moment until we can improve further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For any type of security you need to insure the router meets the spec needed. It's not just my camera's, it's the 2.4ghz network that completely goes down and the range on the 5ghz is pretty bad.

Unfortunately the 2.4ghz network still drops out randomly, doesn't stay down but it's a nuisance still Unfortunately. The 5ghz range is still all over the place as well. Right now it's running as a router with a dd-wrt AP running. Hopefully you guys find a fix for this, cheers brother. Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMF means protected management frames, your router does not have this. What happens is and it’s fairly common that you can deauth the cameras which means they can be taken down very easily. A simple ESP8266 which is about £3 will shut down your WiFi hence my comments. WiFi 6 must include PMF which means a more secure network. The XR1000 should include this. It was just to make you aware how insecure WIFi is if you are relying on WiFi security cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraser....it’s not much to look at it’s just the download bandwidth page like I was saying. I click next and it does nothing....at all. There has to be a way to reset this thing short of the reset button on the back that’s doing absolutely nothing. Do you guys have any kind of phone support or is this it? Having to chime in on here to get a response a day isn’t the best way to get this done. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any extensions like an Adblocker enabled on the browser? Does it work in another browser or via an Incognito window? We don't have any phone support as we're a small company. I'm on all our support platforms for 10hours each day noon - 10PM GMT 6-7 days a week so if you post within those times you'll get multiple responses.

Currently not home...at the office. But last night I had cleared both the cache and history on both Firefox and Edge for browsers and for the same result....it would not advance past that bandwidth page. It’s clearly getting an internet signal according to the light being lit on the router and me being able to pull that page up at all, but for whatever reason, no matter how I try to run it...different ports....it won’t let me get to the interface.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 19, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 19, 2020 Thanks for the information, weird question but how did you enter the speeds? Did you paste them in, type them, use the arrow keys in the box, use the arrows on the keyboard? When you can see if you can access the interface directly by going to this link: http://192.168.77.1/desktop/index.html#com.netdumasoftware.desktop If not, use Google Chrome, right click the page > Inspect Element. Go to the Network Tab and click the disable cache box. Keep this Window open and hold down the browser refresh button and select the Empty Cache and Hard reload option, then try to continue.

That worked! The only problem I’m having now is that I don’t use this router in the main PC room....I use it on an Xbox and I need to make any adjustments from the mobile app and it won’t connect to the mobile app now.....but the router is at least functional.

Yes, prior to the firmware update, I was using the app and changed the theme. It did not give me a Netdum wifi option other than “Netduma R2” in wifi. So I connected to that one....the only one. Also, yes, I was on Netdumas wifi when I was trying to connect. Just on my other wifi now as it’s a stronger connection for my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
