XR500 still reboots every day
So I’ve been having this issue on and off since a couple weeks after I purchased this router from Best Buy. I’d assumed that firmware updates would eventually fix the issue and actually thought it h...
This is totally ridiculous it’s literally getting worse and worse by the day. I’ve tried it all and it’s actually getting worse every attempt. It’s cost me so many games and so much time I’d be far better off with any amount of lag. Can’t believe I spent this kinda money on a router that’s still being beta tested at best. I’ve tried to be patient for months and think it may have bit me in the arse now.
I know it’s not your fault so sorry I’m pissed, but this is the worst experience I’ve had with a product in quite some time. You guys have been great on Duma forums, but I’m extremely dissatisfied with both my nighthawk “gaming” routers. Ones WiFi doesn’t work at all and the other can’t stay turned on more than a couple hours. 500 bucks down the toilet to netgear at this point and I’m forced back to the R1 now I guess. Thought this was finished product and being marketed as a gaming router it can’t even stay on long enough to finish a round. Seems like netduma was in a much better place overall before this partnership on an old micro tik. Guess now I should fill out a support ticket to be made to do all this over again? What are they doing with others who’ve had hardware issues any idea?
And yes I tried turning off instant on and every other power saving thing in my home.
