Router keeps rebooting itself
Hi there
My Nighthawk XR500 keeps rebooting itself for no apparent reson. I have the latest firmware installed and i know its not an electrical issue as i am an electrician by trade and have had a multimeter on the power supply and i have changed power outlets with no luck. I've also factory reset my router twice now. Have checked with ISP also and there is no problems on there end. So far in the last 24hrs it has done this 6 times and 3 of them were within a one hour period between 10 and 11pm NewZealand time. Any help on this will be much appriciated.

Since uploading post i have had it happen again. Looked at router logs and noticed this.
again any help would be great
- Could you try upgrading to the latest beta firmware available here please: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-DumaOS-3-0/New-Firmware-v2-3-2-120-XR500/m-p/2075041
Then do a factory reset and see if it is more stable- Awesome thanks will definitely look into that. I ended up installing an earlier firmware version which I think has temporarily solved the problem but is only a short term solution
you might get better assistance in the forum for your router.
the forums can be a bit confusing in which to post in.
- Ok thanks for that. Haven’t had to look for help like this before and your right it is confusing.
