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.
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.
- What is the model of the modem/router the XR connects to? Do you know if you have a dynamic public IP?
Updated my XR500 to v2.3.2.134 as soon as it came out, hoping it would sort the drops out,
nope still not sorted, doing the reserved IP helps but does still drop, every other day, really surprised NETGEAR have left so many consumer for years with this issue, plus when I spoke to NETGEAR they say they have never seen this issue before, which we all know is a lie and they are well aware of the issue
hopefully there is a new firmware soon or even a beta Firmware soon, but with the last updates they were months apart
