Good router that does what it is supposed to do. I would recommend it

Easy to plug everything in! Easy to operate! No downtime, great product!

Very good product fast and reliable and will worth the price.

I bought this router 3 days ago and have had constant issues with it. I just upgraded my modem with xfinity with 1 gbps internet, and everything worked fine with that modem/router. I bought the xr500 to reduce ping in modern warfare (which it does by geo-filtering). Everything works fine for a while until I lose ethernet connection from my nighthawk to the modem/router. I use cat 8 gold plated cables and I know this isnt the issue. I try to update firmware on netgear's website and it says the file is corrupted every time I try to install it. I spent $300 to have this geo-filtering feature and i'm truly disappointed that this keeps happening to me. I also don't see any solutions on any forums whatsoever about this problem, yet I see a TON of problems with no answers. YES, I have factory reset the router......1502349 times in 3 days. I have to update all of my settings every single time that I have to do this as well. If I can't get a solid answer out of netgear or somebody I'm switching brands for sure. Guess this is what happens when you get greedy about ping, you waste your money and time. Precious time all spent on factory resets and configuration. I kind of feel like somebody stole my money. If someone knows a solution or a better router that I can switch to let me know ASAP!!! P.S.- I have tried turning off all features on Duma OS, nothing is keeping this router from having a field day with its own rebooting system. Like it's honestly laughable. Even with every feature turned off, I still get inconsistent download speeds and ping. If I used wifi from my xfinity router I would get better ping and dowload/upload. Xr500 reduces ping, or does it reduce the ping in your game only? Even if it was game only, it only lasts halfway through a match before it decides to take a nap and reboot. Keep in mind, my xfinity router is up and running at all times, never is it rebooting in sequence with this router. I'm truly afraid to even plug in my ethernet cable to this product, I game competitively and can't risk losing matches because of this thing disconnecting every time I try to do anything while being connected to it. Netgear will erase your forum posts and offer you a replacement that also tries to take naps on you. Run as far as you can gamer, you can play in 10-20 ms ping lobbies but guess what, you will be disconnected before you can reach the end of it. I am going to get this post out there before I try to get my money back. RUN

Awesome for gaming! A must have if you have busy wifi traffic.

This router has really boosted the speed in the house and is great with multiple users

Good router but you need fast Internet not the basic

This router exceeded my expectations with its qos prioritizing traffic on the network.

This router works great for its purpose. its a little large, but gets the job done!

So many custom setting easy to plug and play. love it !!!

The reason I can not give this a 5 star is because we ended up needing to return it for a router that could handle our amount of devices. We are a family of six so the amount of wireless devices we had just overloaded the system. It also helps to know how to use the Dumas router login system.

Got it for gaming and bufferbloat. The dumaos is amazing however you can get the XR450 for 1/2 the price and same functionality, you do lose a little AC speed but $150 saved is well worth it. Overall amazing router, fixed my bufferbloat issue.

Works great easy to setup and it looks awesome! I love it, great product

easy to put together. Got it up and running in 10 minutes.
