Nighthawk xr700 not connecting to all devices
Earlier today, I had power go out on the router for about 3 minutes. When it kicked back on, it was connecting to probably about half the devices in the home and was providing internet. The other item...
I’ve tried that. It doesn’t work
Upgrade to this firmware and see if it works then: https://kb.netgear.com/000061714/XR700-Firmware-Version-1-0-1-24-Hot-Fix
- Hello,
Sorry, I never saw this message pop up from a few months ago, and the devices all randomly connected over night so I just wrote it off.
However, last night it had me update to v1.0.1.34 and it’s doing it again— except this time nothing reconnected over night. Any new recommendations?- You could try installing the firmware again via TFTP and then doing a factory reset, that would make it the freshest install possible and may help: https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP

Vegas, there are multiple threads going back into 2019 about the DHCP service on these routers becoming completely useless. From my experience each upgrade seems to make the DHCP app less and less stable, until we are where we are now. Most of the other users on the forums have either switched off the DHCP services and added their own server, or completely swapped wireless routers until a solution can be provided. I don't mean to be all doom and gloom here, but so far support has been pretty dismal.
If flashing your router does resolve your issue consider yourself very lucky. May the Force be with you.
