OK, so does it seem as though the XR500 is rebooting itself, causing you to lose connection to your game?

See if you're still having problems after that.

They change their server information frequently, so we just need to update them. The team are working on that now so you should see those servers back and responding later today.

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
