xr500 LAN ports sometime will stop working
hi i need some help sometime my netgear nighthawk xr500 LAN ports stops working.wifi work fine not sure how to fix it. can anybody help me
- I've sent you a PM with firmware that may resolve the issue.
Funny enough, just had the LAN ports stop working on me right now. So not even, 24 hours after a reboot this time, more like 6. Wi-Fi still worked fine.
Oddly, last night I got this problem too. The router was pretty much unused. There was only one PC connected and it wasn't doing anything. The wireless was manually switched off. I left it like that for about eight hours or so, then when I switched on my gaming PC, nothing. No internet, no local lan, nothing. I assume though without the router working the local lan won't either becuase nothing has an ip. Anyway, the router looked fine, no orange lights, but I couldn't contact the router ( not responding on 192.168.1.1) and it and it needed a reset to get it working again.
Honestly this is actually a very worrying development. Bugs like this are notoriously difficult to locate.
