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.
Hi. I need help, my port 1 is not working. LED lamp is black, had 2 switch to port 2 to get internet. Have the latest firmware XR500 V2.3.2.40.
Have rebooted the router 5 times and it still doesent work.
Can you see status on ports in DumaOS?
Have you used different ethernet cables with port 1 to see if it's a faulty cable? If so take a look at port 1 and port 2 side by side, can you see any differences inside? If so it may be faulty. Just to check you haven't blocked the device thats connected to it have you? Yes in the table view of device manager you can see
Hi. Yes, tried different cables and devices. Found under Settings, Monitoring, Statistics, LAN 1 (Link down).
I only used DumaOs 2 times when i first got XR500 and to day when i updated firware after i couldent connect to internet.
I saw in the table view that port 1 is connected but it doesent work, LED is still black and dead. Connected my tv, stereo and playstation to try and i dont have internet on port 1.
- Okay sounds like a hardware fault, please contact Netgear here: http://support.netgear.com/ and start a ticket/call them and hopefully they'll either provide steps to resolve or issue a replacement if within warranty
