dropbottom Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I had too many issues with the XR500 so I returned it for the XR1000. The XR1000 has been terrible for me. The netgear nighthawk app doesn't work properly with the device either. I knew something was off when I had to attempt the simple install with 4 attempts before the router would connect. After connecting the numbers I was getting were embarrassing to say the least. anyone have similar issues concerning the DOA out of the box?

dropbottom Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 Iphone in the same room as the XR1000. Speeds are even worse than the XR500, which were unacceptable. The nighthawk iphone app is extremely bugging. The dumaos3.0 software operates extremely poorly and laggy. I will continue to troubleshoot, but beware if you plan on purchasing this device.

Newfie Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 What are your speed tests on your iPhone? yes the nighthawk app is not great with a Duma device, always best to setup over web GUI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 1, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 1, 2020 As above what are your WiFi settings? - Have you disabled Smart Connect? Have you optimized the channel selection etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropbottom Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 Just now, Netduma Fraser said: As above what are your WiFi settings? - Have you disabled Smart Connect? Have you optimized the channel selection etc I installed the router via ethernet hardwired to my CPU. The XR1000 appears to be DOA. The numbers i referenced are related to hardwired testing. I never got around to focusing on the Wi-Fi. I kept the same Wi-Fi name and pw so wireless devices were on the network. I noticed in the nighthawk app they all had 1 bar strength (including devices in same room). I really never got past the CPU speeds hardwired. I connected my modem directly into my PC and connection speeds were as advertised by the ISP. The DumaOS 3.0 (not beta) was extremely buggy. It continuously timed out requiring me to repetitively log in. The UI was unresponsive most of the time. If you have advice on improving the XR1000 hardwired to CPU/game console let me know. Then, Ill move onto Wi-Fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 1, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 1, 2020 Okay fair enough. Firstly, are you on the latest version .50? If not make sure you upgrade to that first: https://kb.netgear.com/000062562/XR1000-Firmware-Version-1-0-0-50 Did you enter the speeds you expect/pay for in Bandwidth settings?

I am up to date on the Firmware. In the bandwidth settings i input my paid for speeds of 480d/24u. I just completed a new install of the XR1000. Out of the box, the 1000 is unusable. Please advise on the adjustments needed if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 1, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 1, 2020 What is your modem model exactly and do you have any devices still connected to that? Also in WiFi settings disable OFDMA and see if that improves WiFi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OFDMA in wireless settings is disabled by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 1, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 1, 2020 Okay please disable Armor (I believe you have to use the Nighthawk mobile app) then reboot and see if it is more stable after that please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropbottom Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 After disabling the Armor I see no difference in performance. The visuals in the Duma software are such that I cant rely on this router for ant type of gaming unfortunately. A side note, when I am browsing the Duma software to review different settings, I continuously get knocked from the app and have to re-sign back in. The error message is consistent so I assume the issue is known. I am up for any suggestions to remedy these issues. This is day 2 with the router, but the plan is to return to the store.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted December 3, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 3, 2020 Could you provide a full page screenshot of both the QoS and Geo-Filter pages please and then I can best advise. By app do you mean the Nighthawk app or the DumaOS app? What error message does it show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
