XR500 failed to detect bandwith
So I was mid game when my XR500 just rebooted for, as far as I can tell, no reason. I was looking at the settings after it reconected and just for the heck of it I tried to use to the setup wizard to...
I don't think it had the exact speeds when I set it up but it was at least ballpark. This time it just straight up failed to dectect the speeds so I manually put in what I should be getting. Its minor gripe but I was just worried that it could elude to another problem if the router cant detect what speeds are coming from the modem.
I have comcast gig by the way, and the modem is in normal mode except for wifi being disabled.
Everything is up in the air. It's said that it will be fixed in a firmware update but we shall see. If the internet light and wan port light and any lan port light is white it is detecting gigabit transfer rates. Any lan port in orange is not gig. Example my roku 4 has a non gig ethernet port so the port is lit orange on the router.
- Well hopefully a quality fix comes sooner rather than later. Thanks for the help.
- Random reboots shouldn't be happening. Do you notice any patterns with internet usage/time of day when it reboots? Is it on a surface like a carpet where it would not get proper air flow?
Detecting bandwidth during setup wizard sometimes it can't detect it properly, it won't always be able to get results but they're looking into why it fails to see if they can optimise it.
