XR500 DAILY INTERNET DROPS
XR500 FW 2.3.2.130 Hello all this is my 1st post to please bare with me i bought my xr500 (XRM570) and i have been having issues ever since i set it up, internet drops i thought it was my ISP so...
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.
most of my devices i have put in the Address Reservation but will try this, when the internet goes completely down i can not even acsess the routers page
ps. my computer is hard wired
thank you
- It is a known issue unfortunately but hopefully by doing that step it will reduce the frequency
- Okay, being a known issue how come net gear didn’t say that, also is there likely to be a fix, I read that it has been an issue in past few updates

Netduma-Fraser are those IP ranges specific? I really don't want to reconfigure the whole house (reserved addresses are between 50 and 119) to eventually get a workaround..
I'd rather set the DHCP range to > 120 if that's an option and leave reserved adresses as-is..
- steiNetti No it's not specific, as long as you have reserved IP address outside of the DHCP range then that is the main thing to help prevent the issue.
- ...nope. it just dropped. Again.
