Try a manual FW load. You might revert back to intial shipping FW to see if the problem is seen there. Factory reset after manually loading FW and setup from scratch.
Set the Default DHCP IP address pool from 192.168.1.1/.254 to 192.168.1.100 to .200.
Try this. Ensure that your using reserved IP addresses for chosen devices ON the router. Ensure that when using Static IP address ON devices that these IP addresses are outside of the default DHCP IP address pool set on the router.

- COBRA00000Jan 27, 2019AspirantNot sure which firmware I had as I exchange the router. I do know I had the most up to date firmware. If there is a beta firmware I did ask how I could get it once before. Anyways I tried 3 routers this weekend I just went with Nighthawk x10 everything seems fine just having issue with one game black ops yes I did port triggering etc. Before I get told go to the nighthawk pag, Thanks for your help couldn’t keep resetting router everyday and not being able to connect to my house when I wasn’t home. Guess time will tell with the nighthawk x10 hope it works I’m at a big lost between the 2 routers now lol

- COBRA00000Jan 27, 2019AspirantNo I returned the XR500 under protection plan to Best Buy. I bought the Netgear Nighthawk X10. Just can’t play one game right now. All ports open and NAT is open.
