XR1000 is just a target now


Recommended Posts

I bought my XR1000 almost a year ago, hoping to see some benefits in creating random matchmaking in Warzone, Call of Duty, and other shooters. Unfortunately, all the router has done is throttle my connection by 30% and introduce additional packet loss. I've been waiting since August 2023 for this new Beta, but its all lies, smoke and mirrors. There is no Beta, the hardware has been abandoned for the R3. 

Going to do a review of the X1000, demonstrating the issues, then probably put some 12 ga slugs through it because that'll generate a better ROI (and won't make me feel guilty) vs selling it on craigslist to some sucker. 

Never touching NetDuma again.

It has not been abandoned for the R3, we've been very open with the fact DumaOS 4 won't be coming to the XR range but the XR1000 will receive 3.3 to bring it in line with the other routers in the range.

Can you provide a screenshot of your QoS and Geo-Filter pages please as I can likely help you with the issues you're having.

Worst product I've ever purchased in the space to be honest. Insanely laggy and borderline unusable UI at some points. Went to the effort of re-flashing it to help with it's speed as others have suggested but a week later and it is as slow as ever. I don't think my QoS even works and neither does the UPnP. Can't even manually forward ports if i wanted to. If you get it into a working order and don't have to ever log into it again it may be fine HOWEVER my WiFi network started to just die randomly and dupe IP's on devices A LOT.  

Honestly even just how laggy the UI is is reason enough for me to want to get rid of it as someone who is somewhat of a power user.

I can understand Duma has had issues with pushing firmware with Netgear - but this product is a complete dud. DO NOT BUY IT.

If you don't make a topic to explain your issues we don't know you're having them and can't help.

For the UI:

  1. Disable Armor if you're using it
  2. Make sure you're connecting to the interface via HTTP not HTTPS
  3. Disable any browser based Adblockers/whitelist the interface on it
  4. Clear browser cache/cookies and reload each page on the interface once at least

How are you determining QoS isn't working exactly? What is the model of the modem/router the XR is connected to and how have you set that to ensure all traffic flows to the XR? E.g. XR in its DMZ, modem/bridge mode. Are ALL devices connected to the XR?

Are you saying UPnP and port forwarding isn't working because you're unable to get an Open NAT? More IPs isn't necessarily a problem but if you disable Smart Connect it may perform better overall.
