XR500 Connection drops constantly due DHCP renewal

This is really painful, I think is since I upgraded firmware recently from Netgear. At random times, but most noticiable when I try to play a game like Overwatch. I lose connection to server and I am...

Yes, I did factory reset, every time I tested the firmwares. Which is really painful as I have to readd all the devices back to the router. 

 

I will try with an older firmware and see what happens but this problem seems to have been around for a while and not going anywhere.

 

Thanks

Do other devices experience disconnects or is it just this one device? If you disable the Geo-Filter does it happen less?

    There are other devices doing the same pattern ranging from computers to android tv, Alexa, etc. But not all the devices do this behavior only a few connected on different things, Wireless, and cable. Geofilter is not added for any device so it should be off.

      In LAN Settings change the DHCP pool to start at 192.168.1.50 instead, then set reserved IPs for your affected devices between .2 & .49 and then reboot the router and see if it still occurs.

        This is really frustrating as I said. I went I set the dhcp pool to start at 30, then I assigned Ip's like 10 to the affected devices and I still get intermitent DHCP lease events, how is this even possible :(. I tried similar solutions to this before but I always got the same results. 

         

        Look at this big spam of lease 

         

        changes for a reserved address :(
