Netgear XR500 dont have default gateway
I woke up this morning and it was like this no internet.
router wasnt showing default gateway,
Tried factory reset, still no default gateway
power light blinking white.
Cant connect to router when no gateway
Any idea?
Thanks for replying
I can access router interface now after following steps in this topic
I tried this later last night, I must of been pissed off and did it wrong the first time around :-(
Just done it again and works
I will look at it after work and set it up , now that I can access router I'm sure it be ok.
Once again thanks for taking the time to reply

How did you perform the factory reset? You'll need to hold the reset button on the back of the router for approximately thirty seconds, then allow it a few minutes to reset. After this, you won't have access to the internet until you've accessed the XR500s interface and gone through the setup wizard.
Does your PC/whatever device you usually access the interface on have a 192.168.1.x IP address?
