xr500 LAN ports sometime will stop working
hi i need some help sometime my netgear nighthawk xr500 LAN ports stops working.wifi work fine not sure how to fix it. can anybody help me
- I've sent you a PM with firmware that may resolve the issue.
Just got this router on 11/24 and am experiencing the periodic disconnect for wired ports. I'm running firmware version .32 (latest as of this post.)
My cable modem is a Netgear CM1000. Everything was working fine with an Asus router until I "upgraded" to this one yesterday.
I saw in another thread that there might be a beta fix for this issue? I'd be willing to give it a try.

- Mine is still holding strong after changing the power settings on my Xbox from Instant on to power saver. Not sure if that's what's causing your issue or not but I was experiencing the same problem. WiFi seem to work fine but I would lose LAN lines and have to restart the router.
Thanks - I suspect mine is related to the DHCP lease changing. My PC had 192.168.50.3 and then was re-assigned 192.168.50.11 this morning. I think the times correlate with the time of my last outage. I'll try to take careful note of the time next time this happens.
Does anyone know if reserving an address is a work-around for this?

Hi Gary - that's a pretty good idea. See if reserving address solves your problem. I'll also DM you a hotfix firmware which might solve your problem too.
