XR500 Ethernet ports die randomly?
So I contacted NetGear within the first 30 days of using the router with an issue where the ethernet ports stop connecting randomly. They instructed me to manually reapply the updated the firmware (2....
Hey all,
Just checking to see if we have an update coming? I don't want to be some one that keeps repeating themselves and I know updates take time. However, living with the temporary fix for the Xbox means having to manually update all of my games when I turn it on, rather than have them update in the background. It's become a bigger annoyance than I thought it would.
Thanks so much.

The absolute best solution at this time is to introduce an Ethernet switch between the Xbox and the router. Then you can put your Xbox back on instant on.
I have had zero issues since I went that route. They are still working on a solution but tbh, the solution will probably only be fixed for the next generation consoles. Therefore the switch is your best bet

- I went ahead and purchased the GS305P Switch. Which has resolved the problem!
However, I've noticed that now the Xbox isn't automatically updating games/apps in the background. I've ensured that I have all the settings on the Xbox correct, and have never encountered this issue before. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be the issue?- Are you leaving the console enabled on the Geo-Filter once you've finished playing? If so switch to spectating mode or delete, does it appear to work properly then?
- I hadn't even consider that, I'll try that tonight and let you know. Thank you!
