XR500 Rebooting Itself After Attempts at Streaming and Downloading
As the title says, for some reason my new Netgear router is crashing non-stop whenever I attempt to use my WiFi to stream or download games for my console. I've had this device since last month and I switched Internet providers at the same time, so I assumed it was my new modem. Nope. After attempting to watch my smart tv, the router crashed and entered a reboot state, and my modem was doing perfectly fine. I don't know why it's doing this, and any help would be great.

Could you please go to Settings -> Setup -> LAN setup and change the minimum DHCP pool address to 192.168.1.50.
Then add IP address reservations for each device on the network, make sure you give each device a different address between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.49.
After that check if the problem still occurs.
There's no "minimum". I have "Starting IP address" and "Ending IP address", then I also have IP Subnet Mask. I'm completely new to all of this.
- Enter the starting IP as .50, then process with the reservations. Don't change anything else, you can leave subnet mask as it is. If you're unsure don't hesitate to ask!
