XR500 drops internet
I am having an issue where the internet stops working..... I have 2 Xbox ones being used and they randomly disconnect and now the wifi doesn't work either. The wifi is connected but no internet. On...
The firmware has now been publicly released: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-Routers/New-Firmware-for-XR500-2-3-2-32-fixes-disconnection-issue/m-p/1636839#M3864
If you are having a disconnection issue, please upgrade to this firmware (or a later one in the future). Thank you everyone for your patience
I am also getting random drops in my XR 500. I have to reset my cable modem then reset the router and unplug Ethernet cord from modem then insert it again to get it working again. Can you please send me hotfix please? Also my firmware version is v 2.3.2.40. Thanks.
Here you are: https://forum.netduma.com/topic/28523-new-xr500-hotfix-firmware-for-drop-outs/ let us know if it resolves your issues.
Hi Fraser, I am already running the hotfix after investigating this issue on the forums. This issue has happened twice since being on the hotfix.
Have you tried changing the DNS settings?
What's your network setup? What kind of modem do you have? Any settings on there that might be messing things up?
