Amazon Same price
$571 on Amazon as far as I can see.
Bought this last November during click frenzy for $259, plus got a $50 giftcard!
DumaOS has the slowest interface I have ever used in any router. I had to set it up multiple times initially as the config was getting reset. Backup/restore doesn't work properly but once you have it all set up, it works and has been rock solid for almost a year now. But I definitely do not look forward to when it fails and I will have to set everything up from scratch. I run a lot of Home Automation and IoT devices that need static IP and have internal port forwarding so setting it up takes time.Thanks for the update. Will try mine tonight, so will report back on how it went.
PS: Scorptec has a bad return policy, so check if that works for you. I initially got frustrated and wanted to return it after 24 hours and they would not accept it.
My favourite part was when I did a firmware upgrade on mine, and everything was reset…
I second this, dumaOS is trash. slowest response for the most basic task. smartconnect is poor and 2.4ghz/5ghz often cant be connected by device and need a reboot.
I can confirm I have this same issue of one Wifi band not connecting and needs a reboot to resolve (even having to bet on it not forgetting all the settings)
This is not a good router.. bought it during the click frenzy event last year..
Its settings would mysteriously reset after a power cycle for no apparent reason. The web interface is also slow.
I would say avoid if you can.
I was about to buy it few months back to replace my old Netgear R7000 but then waited and bought a Asus RT-AX86U for just $58 more.
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/719737Would agree Asus is probably the better bet. I bought this based on good things about the Netgear brand back in the good old days.
Could only blame myself for not doing enough research about the DumaOS
this happened to me tonight. did a power cycle reboot and then next thing i know the thing had factory reset itself. looked it up and lots of people have reported the same issue. anyone know if i can get a refund/exchange for a different router? i'm still within the 1 yr warranty
I have had the XR500 for a few years now and have never had any issues with it, but can't comment on the XR1000. Most people would probably go for prosumer grade Ubiquiti stuff over this. I don't game much anymore, and when I did rarely used the gaming features.
I see having "gaming" in the name still adds a surcharge
