XR500 Random Reboot multiple times a day

Just purchased this router today and it has rebooted dozens of times. Seems ridiculous

Using firmware V2.3.2.32

I've power cyled several times, but it rarely stays up more than 15 minutes.

  • It feels terrible.I heard that the new firmware has fixed this problem.

  • Sorry this is happening - sounds like it could be a faulty untit. I will private message you a hotfix firmware to try now to see if that stabilises things. If it does not, I recommend you contact official NETGEAR support to request a replacement:

    Routers occasionally flash red lights, wait for a while, turn white lights again.Once every three or four days.But I didn't see the problem log.Consulting ISP, no problem with modulator.

      I have sent you the hotfix firmware. If it doesn't solve your problem, I would definitely get in touch with NETGEAR's official support. THis should definitely not be happening!
