Just purchased the xr500 and I'm having constant wifi signal drops. I have a Xbox onex that's hard wired and my internet is stable on that but anything on wifi loses connection.
Current ISP is att Uverse gigapower, 1000mbps up and down
Have tried a factory reset already
In the logs there is a IP address 192.168.1.64 which is not showing as any item on network monitor which shows as a being blocked
Smart TVs, smart lights, Android devices are all experiencing wifi drops and have to be manually connected again to only last a couple hours before they drop again
