Zac Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 So I set this up.. well whenever the R3 came out. Just want to check myself and make sure I have it configured optimally. I have the R3 at one end of my house connect to my ISP directly. I then have an ethernet cord running from my R3 to my XR1000 and have the XR1000 setup in Wireless AP mode. Currently I have both routers using the same name hoping my devices swap seamlessly if I move around my house like on my phone/ laptop. Is this the best way to do it? or should I have independent network names? or Should I be configuring this some other way? Also does anybody know if the XR1000 is just abandoned with firmware? I guess it doesn't matter if it's just in Wireless AP Mode? Sad though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 23 Administrators Share Posted January 23 That is the best way to do it! In terms of firmware, in AP mode it doesn't really matter. There is a beta for the XR1000 but it has been temporarily removed for an issue but it won't see any more feature updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 Ah good to know. Glad i'm all setup. By the way new firmware seems solid from my testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm considering buying NetDuma R3 and use it with the existing NetGear x1000 that is currently in the different room but because it supports MESH I'm able to expand it to my room where the router signal is weak. A lack of mesh for NetDuma makes me thinking if there is a difference between the following two configurations a) ---[INTERNET]--------[NETGEAR/MESHPOINT]--------cable-----------[NetDuma3] b) ---[INTERNET]--------[NetDuma3]--------cable-----------[ANOTHER ROUTER/NETGEAR] my PC connection will be only to the router and the right side of this line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 27 Administrators Share Posted January 27 I'd go with option B so everything can be controlled by the R3 and you'll get the most out of it then you can do whatever you need to behind to have far reaching WiFi WiS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
