Well he was important enough for them to name the new operating system A7Legit Also as far as what’s happening with the R1 that’s conjecture on your part, pirating of software is not. I think this is now best left alone as a topic.
I am well aware of what is happening with the R1 as far as it being delayed. As to the true reason I do not know what that is, I don’t think it’s up to me or any of the other people on the Netduma forum to throw shade on the team without knowing the full story, as I said it’s all conjecture at this point. Anyway no matter what happens on that forum it does not condone what appears to be pirating of the teams software, until there is more clarification because I am not a lawyer and I don’t know the ins and outs of a licensing agreement, I think it’s best to leave this and move on.
I just meant i use merlins, johnfork version and voxel. I also want to try lede next.
I wish you would stop saying you get back to the same stuff, you don't, its all been changed slightly and with no fly out menus, aslo you have added what Voxel has said abot old packages but you neglect every time to talk about what's new. Both are great routers but one had a very different QoS more granular control and many gaming features like a Geo Filter, and a cloud list of games that's updated and a DPI engine that recognises gaming traffic so you diont even have to have QoS on all the time if you dont need it. Along with R-Apps (router apps) with more to be added, and the R7800 does not have these features because its not for the gaming market even though its called a gaming router, but as a router for set and forget with great range and speed its one of the very best, along with Voxels firmware.
This seems to be happening a lot more these days a. Across the board in a lot of electronic goods, TVs other branded routers speakers there seems to be a stagnation at the moment and just a rehash of hardware with different designs, at least the XR500 works well as a gaming unit. It would be nice to see some genuine innovation in hardware but I think we are probably looking till later this year or next year it’s got to the point where people are asking themselves why do I need something new which is understandable as stagnation seems to be 2018’s moniker. Looking at TVs released this year they are exactly the same as last year, looking at phones not much is changing there is no genuine innovation just a rehash of features that sometimes have no real world use, it’s just adding bloat in many cases.
If you had not shown level 2 the blank screen issue on the R7800 that might never get fixed as it makes the QoS on that router a mess at this time for some configurations where the router is finding what feels like orphaned pages of its GUI and throwing up a blank page when altering priority, type and name of device, Kudos all round.
Best to ask at the Netduma site which supports the XR500 too, or the Netgear XR500 forum. I would try the Netduma forum personally. http://forum.netduma.com/
Thank you! I will give it a try over there..
XR500 has more flash also aerials are different but its very similar apart from that. My old R7800 had lost some of its range over the years so the XR500 was better but in all honesty the R7800 probably has better 5Ghz throughput but coverage seems the same. at least more stable but as I said my R7800 was ageing as it was one of the first units. Both would be fine but it depends on what you want your router for.
