I'm at Wits End with the XR500 Nighthawk (Upload speed drop)
I want to love this router, I really do...However it leaves me with more headaches than it should. My Dad is on the verge of returning it.
I just started streaming through my PC not too long ago......
EDIT/UPDATE:
Noteworthy issues, upon rebooting the router, I did not garner access to the internet until I hit the "Test" button in the "Internet Setup."
Not sure why this happens but it's infuriating since I only discovered that was the fix other than waiting for 30 minutes or longer for it to auto connect.
Another issue is that "Missing JSON response" now appeared after this reboot debacle...Trying to re-establish a connection.
---After 2 hours, restarting both modem and router...finally got full connection. I am at 1mbps for upload speed. Entirely at wits end. I can only hope by tomorrow evening after work that my upload will be returned to it's optimal speeds. Such a shame because if it is indeed the router and not Comcast, I will be trading it in. If it's mixed, I hope to resolve these issues with Comcast and with Netgear so I can enjoy the full potential.
Thank y'all for reading and putting up with my frustrations...It's been a nightmare this week between setting up streaming equipment and router/internet malfunctions.
