Stilts29 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Any idea when this firmware is going to drop for the XR500? No update since 12th October and testing is taking like forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilts29 Posted October 20, 2022 Author Share Posted October 20, 2022 Just seen post from earlier in the week. Would be nice to see more transparency on testing and release news from Netgear. Not good for Netdumas reputation. Beginning to wish I had brought an R2 nyder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 We've had a lot of problems getting the XR500 on 3.2. The reason testing is taking so long is because it's not just testing, we've found a couple of big bugs, had to debug them, send patches/fixes to NETGEAR, then when we get a firmware back with that fix we are able to test deeper and uncover new issues. We're now waiting on an updated build with some new fixes to continue testing, we'll update the progress page accordingly today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dialatech Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 @Netduma LiamWhat's the latest on this ? Have you had the firmware back from netgear with the fix? Is it getting any closer to release time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we've got that we'll test again and if it's all good we'll go ahead and start releasing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobel Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 @Netduma LiamDoes this apply for the XR700 as well ? Or does the XR700 have different bugs/or does need different development of firmware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 7, 2022 Administrators Share Posted November 7, 2022 Once the 500 is done we can then proceed with the 700 and hopefully shouldn't be too long after Mobel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw plugged yesterday my XR700 with 1.0.1.34 fw in and it performs way better on Cod MWII then the R2 or the ASUS router that I was fiddling with the past 2 weeks due to not so good hit reg and a bit delayed feeling in-game. Felt the difference immediately hit reg with the XR700 is on point with the 1.0.1.34 firmware and same settings as how I configure the other routers.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 8, 2022 Administrators Share Posted November 8, 2022 I would assume that's because it's a beast of a router hardware wise and so for the R2 for example you may need to throttle more aggresively than the 700 to achieve the same performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still wouldn't hold your breath, it then has to go through netgear testing and the XR1000 has been sat on waiting for netgears testing for months. The netduma testing was complete and fine ages ago but no idea when netgear will pull their fingers out and release it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been testing the bug fixes since the last test internally to verify they're going to work before getting another build. It's all looking good so we're now waiting on the next build from NETGEAR. 1 hour ago, leeeroybiscuit said: I still wouldn't hold your breath, it then has to go through netgear testing and the XR1000 has been sat on waiting for netgears testing for months.

Once we're happy with this one we'll go ahead and release it here and on the NG forums as a sort of 'beta' firmware so it doesn't have to wait on NG testing. There's been some issues with the XR1000 which I need to catch up with the team on later, I'll update the firmware progress article once we've discussed that.

Don't have any sort of timings for you but once 500 is done then that is a big hurdle preventing the 700 from getting the update so in theory shouldn't be too long after but won't be immediate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possibly the XR1000, it's hard to gauge currently but they'll all be quite close together I should think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
