Review: Incredible power, incredible features and incredible support. This is a gaming router done right, look no further! - I've been a long time fan and customer of Netduma ever since they brought out their first router. To give you an idea of who Netduma are and what they represent, it's very simple: They are gamers developing for gamers. If you want a team that's passionate and dedicated to bringing you the best technology to help enhance your gaming experience then look no further. The proof that they deliver on their promises of helping reduce lag and improve network performance is supported by their recent partnership with Netgear. When I heard of their partnership and the fact the Netduma's new and improved DumaOS would be powering the already powerful and renown Nighthawk, it was an instant purchase for me. For gamers wanting a router that has both sheer power combined with ease of use, look no further. This is the router for you. The sheer size and design of this router instantly caught my eye, this thing is a beast! The product came with everything needed to get started quickly and setting up the router prior to installation was a breeze. Setting up the router and connecting all my devices was honestly the easiest thing I have ever done. Simply follow the instructions (there's maybe 3 steps!) and you're good to go. The router re-directed me instantly to the setup page, updated itself to the latest firmware and walked me through every step. To point it bluntly, the setup is idiot proof. Now the Nighthawk has always been an incredible product for any gamer but with it now being powered by DumaOS, this router is a step above anything I've seen. To say the router's user interface is user-friendly would be an understatement. It is a huge step up from Netduma's previous design and allows even the most novice computer users to tailor the router to their own needs. The router provides a quick and informative tour of all the features you can use, navigating you every step of the way. The new dashboard can be entirely customised, allowing users to place their most important features only a click away. I run a fairly heavy system which includes multiple consoles, multiple desktops/laptops and a whole host of wireless devices. So far everything has been working flawlessly and with the inclusion of 5GHz wireless connectivity I've noticed improved speeds for those connected devices. I've tested my connect speeds (wired and wireless) multiple times and since purchasing the XR500 Nighthawk I've noticed improved speeds and reduced ping. This is on top of an already consistent and high quality connection that I had previously. Even for non-gamers, this router can be an excellent choice for anyone wanting to keep tabs on their network. The Device Manager allows you to effortlessly see what products are connected, how they're connected and whether they're currently online. See something you don't like? You can easily block the device and remove it altogether. This can be great for families wanting to restrict Internet usage at late night hours and with the parental control settings, connections for devices can be tailored specifically so that they are unable to get online during certain hours. You really get the sense that this router is designed to work for you and handle any task you throw at it. If there's one thing that I can say, it's that the best part of this router is knowing I have the Netduma support watching my back. Going back to my previous comment, these are gamers first who know exactly what we want from a gaming router. For any technical problem or concern they have always been there to listen and provide assistance wherever possible. There's nothing more frustrating than having technology breakdown and not work. Netduma have an incredible support system, an active forum and from first hand experience, will always be there to help you resolve any issues you have. No more sending emails in a vague hope of getting a reply and dealing with strangers. The team is friendly, passionate and actively prepared in getting any issues resolved asap. The community is supportive and will always help users encountering issues. When you have a Netduma product, you're part of the Netduma family where only the best connections and experiences are found. I can't recommend this product enough!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this router just be used for other than gaming?. I don't do games**
A: Yes you can. dumaOS makes it easy to setup and configure your network and router settings. The dumaOS adds a bit more to the price vs the Netgear X4S (which is the exactly the same router in terms of hardware spec).  If you want to save a bit of money, go for the netgear X4S, which is also a fantastic router. Good luck.

**Q: Should I buy this router or keep my x8 router**
A: The X8 looks like it has more capacity.  They're both mu-mimo and the x8 has 6 ports opposed to 4.  One of the big reasons I bought this was the operating system (look up Netduma).  So far haven't had any issues - even just watching youtube haven't had the buffering and quality issues I had just using my AC1900 modem router.  If you're not having issues you may want to stay with what you got, but if you want the benefits of the dashboard and operating system, and have the money, you can give it a try,

**Q: How do you compare xr500 to orbi, please?**
A: The Orbi is a mesh router, designed for covering irregular, obstacle dense, or large areas with wi-fi network. Mesh router systems are expandable, meaning you can buy more units to extend your network seamlessly.

If you do not need the expansion capabilities of mesh routers, a standard router such as the XR500 is more suitable.

**Q: Can i run a connection from an existing router via Ethernet to it and have two routers**
A: As others have said, yes you can. In my particular setup, my original router is also my modem from our fiber internet provider, so the option to directly replace it wasn’t there. I hardwired the Nighthawk to port 1 on the original router, booted it up, and configured as a secondary router. It was smart enough to see that another router existed in the network, and so assigned itself another internal IP network map of 10.0..... so as not to conflict with the original 192.168..... overall it’s an awesome router, especially with the DumaOS to configure each individual device and modify its capabilities, I highly recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strong 2.4Ghz signal and Duma os is best
*by C***R on 24 July 2020*

I have a dead zone in my duplex house which my old dlink 605L can only show 1point and cannot have stable connection. Signal strength of this in 2.4 Ghz is penetrating there also which great. I can able to login to office and work without any noticable issue any where from home. 5 Ghz is just passing 1 wall. whereas 2.4 Ghz is passing 2 to 3 walls in between. Another thing about this router is Duma Os which is awesome if u r monitoring and managing home network frequenty. DHCP settings works as charm as I have some IOT devices where I need static ip address to be assigned. Overall its good router and value for money if ur house is having lot of dead zone and u r serious about ur home network.
