XR500 -start up - blinking power light right out of box?
Been an ASUS user for 15+ years. Current model AC3100. Upgraded my ISP to Gigablast. Decided to upgrade modem and router to go along with Gigablast. Bought a CM 1000V2 and a XR500. The XR 500 got here...
LMFAO..... So I pay $249+ tax and now I have to DL and re-insert a program (update) into the highest rated gaming router on the web? Kidding me?
I have returned it and Iam currently waiting for the new one to arrive, should be tomorrow. iF THIS ONE DOES THE SAME THING.... COMPLETELY done with NETGEAR bs.
At this price point, being NETGEAR, highest rated gaming router, I should be able to pull it out of the box and get it rolling with-in a half hour. Not fix a router then pray it works.
All the ASUS routers I have ever had ...out of the box kicked ass. Including the AC3100 that I have right now getting 550mb DL & 55MB UP load on a first gen PS4.
All I can do is provide support once you have the router, I've no idea why that happened and I've not seen it before. Fingers crossed the replacement works well.
