Ow, I see :( I was installing solar at home so they turned the power off on the panel for an hour (but my fridge and the rest of the house came back fine, just the XR500).
I actually got it from the PR team to review last year, I'll try contacting them to find out. So with the support, I had to get the Premium support in order to contact them? "NETGEAR provides complimentary technical support for NETGEAR products for 90 days from the original date of purchase"

Yeah, I've contacted them and waiting for a follow up, thanks. I posted here just in case there's another hard reset method or something that I can do at my end to fix. Cheers for the help and confirmation
