Wi-Fi keeps dropping on all devices.
As of recently, Wi-Fi has been dropping for up to 5 secs at a time, 5+ times a minute. It drops all. The. Time .
It's making everything really bad to use. Streaming, gaming, everything is affected by this.
What I have tried so far:
Factory reset router..
Unplugged overnight.
Switched channels several times.
Nothing has worked so far. I simply don't know what to do at this point.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Firmware version: V2.3.2.56

[DHCP IP: 192.168.1.130] to MAC address 38:78:62:c9:5c:cf, Sunday, January 26, 2020 22:48:46Sorry to hear you're having this issue. Is it just wifi that's dropping or are wired devices also having problems?
When the wifi drops, are you losing internet connection but remaining connected to the router, or are the devices actually dropped from the wifi network?
- It's both wired and wireless connections that are dropping.
I have narrowed it down to probably being the DHCP lease being messed up.
It keeps acquiring new leases several times a min, when it's at its worst, according to my logfiles. And that is consistent with the timing of my disconnects.
A quick Google search for "XR500 DHCP Lease time" will give countless of other people posting about the exact same problem, but I haven't been able to find any solutions.
What should I do? Is there a fix or do I need a new router?
- Nope, downgrading to .32 did not work.
I'm at a loss here. I've never spent as much money on a router as I have on this one, and also I've never experienced more instability from a router as this one.
The downgrade worked for about an hour, then the DHCP Lease went crazy again with 10+ new leases within minutes. I disabled auto upgrade so firmware is still .32, just to be sure the DHCP hell didn't occur due to an auto update back to the latest firmware.
