What browser are you using to udpate FW? You might try IE11 or FF or Opera. 

 

I would do a factory reset before, load the FW file, factory reset after then set up from scratch.

HI Guys,

 

Just woundered if anyone has had issues with the latest Firmware for the XR500 router. It has an up time of between 2hrs-3days then crashes and the router has to reboot Lossing all connections etc. I have tried different ideas unplugging all connections, flashing from download or via router. Reset back to factory defults.

 

Each time i revert back to the previous firmware V2.3.2.32 and works fine. There is nothing in the logs so abit stuck

 

Regards
