XR500 Xbox One Wired Disconnect After Inactivity
I have my XR500 wired to my Xbox One, and it works fine, until I put my xbox in standby for a while, and then when I turn it back on it will be disconnected from the internet, and the only way to fix...
"that they didn't fix it in QA and can't reproduce and fix it a year later?" .... unfortunately... the answer is yes....
I have had similiar issues on my LAN's in the past. Mostly with Printers that I do not use frequently and when I went to print on them they were not responsive. So what I have done is, and this may apply to your case as well, is that on my home automation server I set it up to run a "Scene" every hour that pings the printers IP address. The ping is a "Keep Alive" in it's own way.
I have also setup similar pings in Visual Basic. Create a "batch" file, it's not hard to do, then let task scheduler or cron ping the device on ocassion.
It may even be possible to run a bash script in the router itself to ping the XBOX....
For something so simple, it can be created in C++ as well....
I understand that that might be a workaround, but is highly inconvenient for two reasons: one, it disables automatic idle updates on the xbox, that can sometimes take hours, and two, it makes the bootup time a couple minutes instead of a couple seconds. Modifying how my clients work is not a solution to a problem with the router.
I have also installed the hotfix firmware. Waiting to see if the issue continues.
In regards to the script that pings the other hosts every so often, I don't have any hosts on my network that are on and running 24 hours a day.
- Please keep us updated on if the hot fix firmware works, it’ll be important feedback for the developers
Hotfix patch did not change anything
