Updated XR1000v2 firmware to 1.1.0.22, now unable to complete a benchmark test

Hi, first time poster here.

Bought the XR1000 back in May, starting to wish I hadn't or I'd returned it but here I am.

Had various issues with it, tried to follow ideal settings guides etc. but I ended up switching off every feature namely QoS & Adblocker as they were causing a slow resolve time for web pages on certain devices connected to my network (switching them off fixed this).

I'm savvy enough to understand and tinker with features but I'm very much the type of person that will configure and forget, all I want is for my router to work as it should and let me play with the settings when I need to. So far I've found the DumaOS to be pretty dire, I was convinced I wouldn't miss my old TP-Link especially with the GUI it had but boy was I wrong.

Anyway, first issue I've felt the need to post about. I updated the firmware to 1.1.0.22 yesterday and since then I can't successfully run a full benchmark test, I get this screen appear mostly during the Ping Under Load part of the test:

I believe I read something on this forum about a new firmware coming but it sounds as if that's been promised for a while so I'm not exactly hopeful about it materialising any time soon.

Happy to follow any troubleshooting or ideal config suggestions that someone may be kind enough to provide for me, at this stage I'd really like to be shown that this router isn't entirely worth giving up on considering how much it cost 🥲

Cheers.

I'd check if changing back to 192.168.1.1 for the LAN IP fixes this initially. If not, make sure you're accessing via HTTP not HTTPS. See if routerlogin.net provides you with better success.

If you're using Armor try disabling that as well please. It looks like you're using a browser based Adblocker, it could be blocking the interface, either disable it then check or add http://192.168.1.1/ & http://routerlogin.net as a trusted site and then check please.

Hi Fraser,

Thanks for your reply and suggestions, my apologies for not acknowledging them sooner.

I've just gotten round to trying out what you suggested. Something must have done the trick but I'm not entirely sure what. I started by factory resetting the router with the button on the back as I could not load the router GUI at all since I posted back in November. I went through the setup process, kept the router IP as 192.168.1.1 and added the IP as a trusted site on the adblocker. I made sure I was accessing via HTTP and I tried to run a benchmark test but the problem still presented. I gave up for a couple of hours, returned to try again and it's successfully completed a benchmark test 🤷‍♂️ tried it a second time just to check and it completed successfully.

No clue what changed between me giving up and returning for another attempt.

Great to hear that and thanks for the update, fingers crossed it stays that way!
