@Fuzy You are so serious, I am not using xr500 for two months and everyone in the house is happy, because there is no internet disconnection and restarting this xr500 scrap, also wait another two years to fix the errors, I have already given myself peace, but I will look willingly and I will comment and I will express my opinion, because what is happening is very funny and I would like to watch netduma and netgar shoot each other in the knee with another leaked version of the software

Yeah he’s serious 🧐 there is no light at the end of tunnel it’s a black hole 🕳 The point is people spent hundreds of dollars on a router when the Netgear XR series and NetDuma promised us 3.0 feature’s that taken them two years and maybe even longer and still has bug’s and issues and then they  even say that the router’s are at the end of life cycle and like it’s our fault and still doesn’t work they took our hard working money and ran like thief’s 

as a R1 and Netgear XR500 And XR700 owner hell I even  pre-orders the XR500 and XR700 so for going almost over 2yr and nothing fixed and yet NetDuma continues to create a new product like The R2 

hell yeah I’m MAD 😡

Anxious to see it happen, I have about a month left on my extended warranty for XR700. Bought and sold the Xr500 due its firmware issues, 3.0 beta looks nice on Xr700 so far, but its long in the tooth now as a beta build. Hope this helps and pans out guys, thanks for trying. I leave 700 soon, but it won't be for another Netgear router, learned my lesson twice, 3rd time not sure, but for what I need Ubiquiti Dream Machine looks nice, no duma 3.0 features but overall it maybe my next move.

Yeah, DHCP bug still exists, but after I changed DHCP to .50 and reserved IP adresses, I haven't experienced the sudden disconnection ever since then, few weeks now. My XR500 has been good, still. I hope that the next firmare will fix the DHCP bug.

Hi!

Any chance for official DumaOS 3.0 for XR700 this month?

It's always possible but we're not making any promises or giving any date estimates

Have a one question. Are you guys going to fix slow download speed through SFP+ port on XR700? It's probably old topic.

That would be one for Netgear to resolve so I'm sure they will do that for the next firmware.

Just wondering, got a clue if this'll include also support of RAPP features? I'm lacking the adblocker function on my XR1000 which I've purchased recently.

Welcome to the forum!

As far as I'm aware, the intention is that all routers running DumaOS will be brought up to speed with the R2. This is subject to change, but as far as I'm aware that's still the case.

Keep up the good work.
COVID has been a pain in the bu*tt for all companies around the globe. I am waiting with arms wide open for all updates for my XR500.

Actually Im new here but not in netgear forum XD ended up here seaching for news about updates for my XR500 XD 

[Standoff]

Man I already moved on to another router set but I still can't be arsed to sell my XR1000 until after I test things at my new house in a few months o.o

It's a pretty good router but right now it just doesn't feel like a great one.  Hope the upcoming firmware updates are all I need.

@Netduma Fraser @Netduma Luke it says on the first post XR700 v1.0.1.46(DumaOs 3.0beta) but that 1.0.1.46 version is not 3.0 beta is it ?

No Auto-setup for Qos, no connection benchmark, no polygon on geofilter it looks like the old fw for XR700.

What is the last version  of DumaOs 3.0 beta for the XR700? I get a bit confused right now.

I was not active for a while because of personal circumstances.

Happy holidays to y'all.

That's a mistake you're correct, latest beta is https://www.dropbox.com/s/1yxwq75k726hkgw/XR700-V1.0.1.34_Dumaos3.0_6.img?dl=0 1.0.1.34 and .46 is the latest stable DumaOS 2.0 version.

Hope everything is okay, Happy Holidays!

@Netduma Fraser thank you very much.

So fw 1.0.1.36 and .38 are not 3.0 beta ?

Ye everything is alright at the moment all good.

That's correct, there has only been one beta/3.0 version for the 700 so far which is the one linked above, every other firmware is the 2.0 versions

Hi everyone,

This is an update for you guys on where we are with DumaOS and specifically, the XR/NPG routers which is why we have posted it in this subforum. 
First of all, here’s the current status for each XR router, including links to where you can get the latest firmware for those of you who don’t already have it installed:

• XR300 – V1.0.3.68 (DumaOS 2.0)
• XR450/XR500 – V2.3.2.130 (DumaOS 3.0)
• XR700 – V1.0.1.46 (DumaOS 3.0 Beta)
• XR1000 – V1.0.0.58 (DumaOS 3.0)

Now to address the problem: the speed at which XR users have been getting new firmwares. We realise it has been far too slow.
Here’s how the firmware building process typically works:

• Every few months a new DumaOS firmware is completed
• This first must pass our internal testing
• Then it moves over to NETGEAR where it must pass their testing, including all the non-DumaOS side of the firmware
• Then it goes into closed beta testing
• Eventually, if all has gone well, it will be released

The big problem we have is that if there is an issue at any point, the entire process needs to start again. Considering all the different XR routers DumaOS is on combined with the fact all of them have very large user bases (meaning disaster if a serious bug gets through) and you begin to see the problem.

So, what can we do about this? We asked ourselves the same question at the beginning of the year and we have been working on a solution ever since. We’ll be putting a blog and video together to explain in more detail what we have done, but here is a summary.

We have created a brand new ‘build system’ which will drastically speed up how quickly we can build and test firmware. 

One part of this system involved writing hundreds and hundreds of automatic tests which allow a bunch of computers to test DumaOS without any human involvement. 

Another part is to allow us to trigger new internal firmware builds every night. The purpose of this is to gather all the latest changes our developers have made during the day, build a new firmware and then kick off the automated tests. This means we can catch bugs before human testers ever get their hands on the firmware. 
The end result of all of this is we can make stable and well tested DumaOS much, much faster than ever before.

We’ve been working on this build system for some time and last week, we released a new R2 firmware. It was our very first full firmware built using the new build system, so it’s a bit of a landmark moment for us.

Our plan is to now use this new system for all future DumaOS 3.0 firmwares, including XR routers, Telstra Game Optimiser, the R1 etc. It’ll take us a bit of time to tweak it to work with each router, but once done it will become very easy for us to prepare rock-solid firmwares to send to NETGEAR for their testing before then releasing them to you guys. 

There’s still one sticking point left: the XR300 community. We really do know how far behind you are, and it sucks. All I can say is we’ll do everything in our power to try and bring you up to the latest version using this new build system - I can’t promise it will work, but we’ll do our very best.

The last thing to say is we realise we’ve been pretty quiet over the past few months in terms of communication. Behind the scenes, we’ve never been busier. 

We’ve got some massive features coming out in 2022. Honestly, it’s going to be the biggest leap forward we’ve ever made in our technology and is the culmination of several years of R&D. We’ve also doubled the size of our team over the past 18 months. We know it’s been a long wait, but the payoff will be worth it. 

Thank you for all the patience on this. We know we’ve got a brilliant user community, we feel very blessed and fortunate to have you. We think you’ll love what’s coming out next and we’ll begin to share more details with you on what we have been up to, so stay tuned.

The Netduma Team

The time for words and promises is over, and so is patience.
Especially us XR700 users have spent 2 years listening to you and hoping without ever getting more than a single beta version full of problems (I'm talking about dumaos 3.0).
In the last year I have read almost all the conversations about it and your words have never changed and to date, I repeat, after TWO YEARS there is still nothing.
Regardless of whether we like the answer or not you must now tell us the truth, you owe it to all the users like me who have stood by and put their trust in you.
