SendNukes Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I've been using the netduma r2 for a few months. I just ordered the XR1000 and it will be here Thursday. I know the wifi will be much stronger...but.. Is the XR1000 on the same update at the R2 and will it perform just as well hardwired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG__DOG Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 The XR1000 has better hardware but you wont notice a night n day difference in performance. Newfie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 5, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 5, 2021 The software is comparable to the R2, it's not exactly the same as it's different architecture but it's the closest to the R2 version out of the beta versions available for other routers currently.

I see that the r2 if it has a hybrid vpn and the xr1000 does not have it, will it one day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R2 does have more DumaOS features, the XR1000 may get HybridVPN at some point yes but couldn't say when. The R2 also has Adblocker implemented.

I have read comments that say that the r2 has connection problems when playing, due to its lack of ram and that, and the xr1000 does not. it's true?

I haven't heard anything like that, we have a router that is a lot older than the R2 and that works just fine so nothing to do with hardware!

Currently I have the xr1000, I had the xr500 but I wanted to update it for something newer. Do you recommend that I keep the xr1000 and not buy the r2?

It also will have a better coverage wifi wise. The R2 on the other hand has the full feature list of 3.0 but as with all routers it depends on your requirements.

Thank you very much to all of you for your comments, well technically I have a Mayan network wifi google at home, I do not use the router's wifi at all, I have it bridge mode with the router of the Movistar Spain company and I have the console connected by cable to be able to get the best game and get games with good ping. Duma I love it and I feel that the xr1000 needs to have everything that the r2 has, that's why my doubt whether to change to the r2 or continue in xr1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraser, is there any update on the possibility of the Hybrid VPN on the XR1000? Just found out it didn't have this feature when I went to configure it.
