I recently got starlink the beginning of last month and finally got the Ethernet adapter about 2 weeks ago. Only problem I've had with my router (XR450) was when I updated it to the latest firmware my IP address changed from 192.168.x.x to 10.0.0.1 and I'd lose connection and regain connection within minutes of each other. Other than that every tothing else works like it should even opening ports needed for our consoles.

Has this been solved for you? We are also experiencing something like this in our house. Our smart TV will kind of become sluggish and fail to load video despite me scoring a 150 Mbps speed test on my phone. Every now and again, our phones will get stuck sending messages, as if they lost connection to the internet for a second -- but it doesn't feel like a Starlink dropout. These problems did not happen on the Starlink router, they only cropped up after bridging to the XR500... Lately we've spent more time complaining about the internet than enjoying it.

Any idea what the version is? Or roughly the date the version was released? At this point, I'm considering just rolling back one update at a time.
- agent47isn1May 09, 2022GuideIt's v2.3.120 it should be the same for the XR500 since the XR450 is practically the same router minus the 256QAM feature.
