XR1000 Connection issues-Again....
Hey guys...Well I am back again with the same issue I had about a month ago unfortunately. My previous thread on this issue (link below ->XR1000 Connection issues-Please help!) should be here in thi...
Taurus2313 when it detects a new firmware version try to re-enter the basic URL to enter the interface and see if it puts you through to the main page. Give the router a reboot and that should get you connected again.
Okay Netduma-Fraser and FURRYe38
I am up and running on the NEW router without any issues so that tells me that it was indeed a faulty router. I had no issues at all using the SSID and PW on this new router and all my smart devices and everything on my network has been able to connect right back up again despite being down for 4+ days.
I am sick to know that even though I paid over $300.00 for this router it did not last more than 2 years! I have used Netgear products for many years now and the one I had before this R7000 was a good one and still works but cannot handle multiple smart devices like most homes have now so the XR1000 was a major upgrade but I am very upset that it didn't last. The R7000 last way beyond 2 years for me without any issues.
So there was a problem with the router after all.. Fortunately I think that I am done with Netgear products in the future. This was way too costly of an item to NOT last more than 2 years.
- Sorry to hear that but I do understand your position and frustration, I can only hope that you may consider it again in the future, perhaps after a few firmware iterations. Thank you for letting us know.
Thank you so much for understanding.đ I just wanted to say thanks to all of you who offered input and advice trying to help me find a solution in the meantime. It was frustrating to keep trying everything over and over and not getting any positive results. I wish things would have turned out different, so thanks again to everyone that offered your time and input on this thread. It was much appreciated!
Something you might try as last resort, take the router to a different location, friend, nieghbor or family member and see if the problem follows.
Something to keep in mind for your next router, install a laptop cooler fan under the router. Keeps it cool and helps stave off long term head damage and helps HW last longer. I keep one under mine for 24/7 cooling.
