XR500 Media server bug v2.3.2.66

Question

Hi&nbsp;Is anyone else having problems with media server functionality on the xr500 running the latest .66 release.&nbsp; I had no problems with it under the previous release but it just does not work reliably under .66.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am presently sticking with the previous release which is a pain as I can't take advantage of security patches.&nbsp;I have logged the defect with Netgear, this is a new device, but despite having been looking at it for 3 months they have made no progress. Very disappointing.&nbsp;Thanks&nbsp;

I am having the same trouble. Server is visible but when trying to read or play a file just keeps loading with no successes. Only started happening after latest patch

Thanks guys, good to know that I'm not the only one. My failure mode is exactly as described above, serving files behalves eratically and if a track does appear available it will time out if you try to play it.

Also useful to know .114 also has this issue, I won't bother spending many hours trying it.

I'll keep pushing the support case and update re .114.

Try upgrading to the .114 DumaOS 3.0 beta version instead and see if it works on that please. Do a factory reset once upgraded https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-DumaOS-3-0/New-Firmware-v2-3-2-108-XR500/m-p/2047885/highlight/true#M3538
