isn't the XR500 router in End Of Service phase today? Is it still safe to use the router?

It is and yes as far as I am aware - at least for the moment the latest security updates are present - you can upgrade to the public version which does have this version of DumaOS in.

One simple Question... Why does it say v3.3.535 

when its clearly v2.3.2.134????

Is the BETA 3.3 version in the Download list or update from check firmware page?

Because i dont see the download for it .

 

PS. My Netduma R2 just Randomly stopped working so i went back to my XR500

3.3.535 is the DumaOS version, 2.3.2.134 is the firmware version. The latest public version of the XR500 firmware has this DumaOS version in it so you do not need to specifically use this beta now.

Make a topic regarding your R2 and we can help there.

So is this the latest official update?  I don't want a beta release, I'm just trying to upgrade to the latest official release.

You can find the latest on the NTGR site or through the in-built firmware update, this is the latest which is likely what you're on https://kb.netgear.com/000068422

I don't get it, all this time I thought they removed the update service for this router, so it still gets security updates despite the fact the xr500 router is in end of service?

I don't believe so - the update I linked was for a firmware over a year old

They updated the XR500 router 14 august 2026... I have updated it to Firmware Version 2.3.5.152.. So they still release security updates.
