XR500 how to schedule a daily reboot or a DHCP renewal ?
Hello, My XR500 looses my ISP gateway, DNS and DHCP server almost every 24 hours. The result is a loss of internet connection. I have two ways to reconnect : 1) in DumasOS menu, i go to Sett...
Hello,
thanks for your answer.
I already set up a DHCP range from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200 for devices configured in DHCP mode. The devices that need to have fixed IP's are set up below this range.
Do you mean that all the devices on my network should have a fixed IP or only the ones which need it ?
If it is for all devices, it should be easier to disable entirely the DHCP server on the XR500. I have another router connected to it as a wifi access point. Maybe i could enable DHCP server on my other router and disable it on the XR500.
I'll give it a try.
Really this router does not worth the money. To be obliged to disable functionnalities and get another router (quarter the price of XR500) to get the job done is really a huge disappointment 😓
I'd suggest reserving IPs for every device on the network to be safe.
We're aware this is a bit of a long workaround, it's just a solution to the problem while ourselves/NETGEAR work on identifying the root cause of the issue and fix that.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation while troubleshooting this with us.
I disabled the DHCP server on XR500 and enabled it on the Wifi Access Point.
I'll let you know if it has solved the daily internet disconnection problem. If not, that means XR500's DHCP server is not involved in this problem.
- I would suggest you set a Static WAN IP on the Internet Setup page as well, just in case, keep us posted!
Hello,
I can't set a static IP address for WAN. Unfortunately, i have to pay for it 😒
After a few more tests, The XR500's DHCP server has to be enabled. If not ==> No TV ...
- You'll have to give the TV a reserved IP address, then it can connect with DHCP disabled
