### 5/5 — DumaOS

*2026-04-19, version 1.3.26*

Very convenient and easy to use.  Uses the same GUI as the web interface

### 5/5 — R3

*2026-04-01, version 1.3.26*

Love it, does what it says on the tin.

### 1/5 — Can't login

*2025-07-20, version 1.3.15*

I'm trying to log in, but I can’t due to an authentication error. It’s frustrating because I just got the Netduma R3.

### 1/5 — Pieno di bug e pessima assistenza clienti

*2025-06-02, version 1.3.15*

Modem e app Pieni di bug e servizi che non funzionano come dovrebbero, pessima assistenza clienti netgear, esperienza da non ripetere.

### 4/5 — Good, works with Starlink too!

*2025-05-27, version 1.3.15*

Works great for Starlink in bypass mode, this router compliments my 1,000$+ Ruckus Access Points. Thank you, this is a really good option to prioritize gaming so say someone on YouTube doesn’t bring down the network.

### 1/5 — Crashes Upon Opening

*2025-03-31, version 1.3.15*

This app hasn’t worked in months. The last update was 2 months ago and they’ve done nothing since they broke it. The second I click on the app it crashes. Pretty inconvenient not being able to access the router from the convenience of the app.

### 5/5 — Saved my gaming life

*2024-12-30, version 1.3.13*

I love this router and the app is great so I don’t need to use my PC to manage it. Only issue is not being able to log in sometimes and having to reset the modem to gain access again. Otherwise it’s rich with features and top of the line.

### 1/5 — does not work

*2024-12-26, version 1.3.13*

every time i try to log in it says an unknown error has occurred

### 1/5 — App won’t even open

*2024-12-06*

App just instantly crashes upon opening it. Unusable. This is the only issue with Netduma. They have great ideas and I support the vision, but simple things you’d get from a $50 router just don’t work on it.

**Developer response:** Hi, does it still happen on the latest version released on the 24th? Have you tried completely uninstalling it then reinstalling?

### 3/5 — Internal server error

*2024-11-29, version 1.3.8*

I am having connection issues with the R3. I had to cycle the power on the router on order to get access through the app or through the web user interface....😩 I am.coming from XR1000 after years of frustration and it seems I am having similar issues....😩 😩 😩
