- I've sent you a PM with firmware that may resolve the issue.
Instant ON is a MS issue, not NG.
ah i was just replying with my firmware etc, didn't realise your reply was to someone else (i just read the email update and didn't actually check the thread!)
- This only effects the xr500, also my xbox is disconnected. Only thing connected is the computer.... still needs to be rebooted
Try the DCHP Ip address suggestion.

No it is not a microsoft issue you are incorrect. no other router ive ever own has this problem.. and to prove its not a ms issue i reconnected my r7000 and i had instant on mode turned on and never had it disconnect 6 days of using it. reconnected my xr500 and it happened within 1 day the very next morning all lan ports shut off until i restarted the router. that is stupid you would say it a ms issue. plus your telling me netgear routers suck so bad that even if ms was the problem it would shut down all lan ports on the router. come on mcfly give more proof to that bs statement

This is taking extremly long to the point that it seems they are sdaying they are working on it but truely they are not
