I recommend that you leave the DHCP IP address pool range set to a smaller range. You don't have to use the default range. I personally never use the factory range on any NG router. Also this provides room for static IP addressed devices as well. I use .100 to .150 as I only have around 30 devices. Plenty of room for additional devices if and when that happens.
We hope so, however don't have that info.
I believe my XR500 is dieing a slow death. I tried updating to the newest firmware and everything seemed to be fine, but after about 2 minutes my speed drops to 150-200MBS and I have a 1G service. If I connect my laptop to the ISP everything seems to be fine and getting 914MBS. I saw a video about the X7000 series and they downgraded the firmware and fixed the issue with slower speeds... anything like that suggested here and if so, which version of the firmware was used? Also, any internal upgrade I can perform on the XR500? Thanks in advance for your input!
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
How is QoS configured?
Have you tried the beta?
