What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?Be sure you are wired to the back the router with a PC.
Try a different browser, FireFox or Opera.

The XR500, when I first sold it, I bought it, and until now its network disconnection problem has not been completely fixed. :smileysad:

Have you tried a different PC to see if this problem follows?
Please downgrade to v32 and see if this changes anything. Seems like this maybe a PC issue rather then router issue as others have not posted about this. Possible the router could be faulty.

When the router is disconnected, two iPhones 8 can connect to wifi, but they can't use the Internet.
Other PCs and laptops will be affected. I don't think it has much to do with PCs.
