xr500 constantly loses connection needs manual reboot
hello every morning i need to reboot my router manual unplug the switch then back on i don't need to wait 30 sec since it works like normal every time and i also do the modem from my isp and this has been going on for a while now i first assumed it was my isp so i had them install a new modem and it still happens i have done the a factory reset on the xr 500 and that still does not help i checked the software for netduma and it says that it is up to date and i do not mess with any of the internal setting but one thing i have noticed is that my computers will connect via wifi but none of my phone can get the connecting so it forces me to use mobile data not sure why some electronics can pick up the signal but others cant any clue on what i should do

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the NightHawk Gaming Router products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with NH gaming. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Thank you.- Set the DHCP range to start at .50, then assign reserved IP addresses to devices between .2 & .49 so they're out of the DHCP range, apply, reboot from the interface, wait 2 minutes and see if that stops the disconnects.
cebasss you can't get the last firmware "XR500-V2.3.2.130" permanet disconnects and if you look at the threads you report this error at least 3 people a day. Switch back to "XR500-V2.3.2.114" NO-DISCO or similar crap, everything runs like it did when you bought it, you mustn't forget that we are users at Dumaos Alpha testers.

Message 134 of 138Save now on a Cisco, so not even 2 years have passed and that part is already causing problems, Netgear support sucks, they tell you that you should get the new 1000s. A joke never again Net**bleep** !!!! !
