NDMS 5.0 Beta 2
26/09/2025
New
Implemented a new Enable IPv6 checkbox and an IPv6 configuration section for Home and additional local network segments, providing advanced control over IPv6 parameters and allowing IPv6 to be disabled per segment. [NWI-4373]
Introduced a new design for the Internet card on the System Dashboard page, featuring an updated layout and buttons to manage the display of connection statistics and traffic chart blocks. [NWI-4377]

NDMS 5.0 Beta 1
11/09/2025
New
Further improvements to the Mesh Wi-Fi System allow an Extender’s built-in 4G/3G modem to be used as the primary or a backup Internet connection. When a compatible Extender is detected, the Controller automatically creates a dedicated
MwsMobileinterface and manages the connection like any other, including its use in Connection Policies. SMS and USSD modem options are available directly in the Extender’s Web Interface, which can be opened via a link on the Controller’s Wi-Fi System page. [NDM-4027]
The Port Forwarding page now supports IPv6 Pinholing, letting you open TCP and UDP ports to provide external access from the Internet to devices on your home network that use IPv6 addresses. [NWI-4213]
Added support for the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) v2 and v3, configurable via the command line interface (CLI). This enables redundant routing across multiple routers. To use it, install the VRRP support system component. [SYS-1443]
interface {name} vrrp group {group} ip {ip}— set virtual IP address for the group;interface {name} vrrp group {group} priority {priority}— set priority (integer in the range 0 to 255), the device with the numerically highest priority becomes the master in the group;interface {name} vrrp group {group} advertise {advertise}— set advertisement interval in seconds (integer in the range 1 to 255, the default is 1);interface {name} vrrp version {version}— set protocol version, supported values:default— use version 2 for IPv4 and version 3 for IPv6;v2— strict compliance to VRRP version 2:zero VIPs are not allowed;
unicast peers are not allowed;
IPv6 addresses are not allowed;
state MASTER can be configured strictly when priority is 255;
v3— compliance to VRRP version 3 for both IPv4 and IPv6;v3-compat— VRRPv3 compatibility mode for interoperability with implementations (such as Cisco and Juniper) that treat RFC 5798 §5.2.8 as applying only to IPv6. When enabled, the router includes the IPv4 pseudo-header but omits it from the IPv4 checksum calculation;
show interface {name} vrrp— display the VRRP status.
The new DNS-Based Routes tab on the Static Routes page allows creating custom routing rules via a specified connection or gateway for user-defined lists of domain names and IP addresses. [NWI-4186]
The Diagnostics page now includes an iPerf utility in the Network Connection Test section, enabling bandwidth and performance testing directly from the web interface. To use it, install the iPerf3 system component on your device. [NWI-4371]
The Internet Safety page now features an Application Filter tab with controls to block traffic from specific applications and categories for individual clients or entire network segments. To use this feature, you must install the Traffic classification engine system component and enable the Application Classification option on the IntelliQoS page. [NWI-4232]
The new WireGuard VPN Server application makes it easier to set up various remote connection scenarios. It enables quick installation on client devices, providing secure access to any part of your network. [NWI-4206]
Implemented UPnP IGDv2 PCP support for the IPv6 protocol. [NDM-3859]
Added a new Manager user role featuring limited administrative rights for ISP deployment scenarios. [NDM-3945]
The new iperf3 system component has been implemented, enabling the measurement of bandwidth of a specified network connection via the command line interface (CLI). However, test speeds may be constrained by the performance of specific router models. [NDM-3785]
tools iperf3 {host} [ipv4 | ipv6] [tcp | udp] [port {port}] [bitrate {bitrate}] [time {time} | bytes {bytes}] [source-interface {source-interface}]
Example command:
tools iperf3 ping.online.net port 5202 time 10
Improved
The client part of the iperf3 system component has been extended to support the
reverseandstreamsarguments, enabling download bandwidth testing and the use of parallel network streams. [NDM-3963]tools iperf3 {host} [ipv4 | ipv6] [tcp | udp] [reverse] [port {port}] [bitrate {bitrate}] [streams {streams}] [time {time} | bytes {bytes}] [source-interface {source-interface}];
Example command:
tools iperf3 ping.online.net reverse port 5202 streams 2 time 5.
