Xr700 connection drop off / disconnects
Having the same issue as everybody else!
The newest firmware causes my connection to drop every 20/30 seconds which causes me to get connection interrupted in games.
As soon as I change my firmware back to the original firmware the router came with all of the connection drop offs stop and I have a normal constant connection.
Is there a firmware that can help with this?
When is the firmware going to be updated?

- VazuhAspirantI’ve been told to post on here as there is a beta firmware that will fix the problems as well as having the new features that I’m missing?

- LegendaryJMacAspirantI have the latest firmware, version 1.0.1.8. As soon as I updated to this version, I immediately noticed my wireless connections (Nest cams, iPads, etc) were no longer working. I noticed my router was giving out 192.168.1.XXX IP addresses. Prior to the update, I was using my own 192.168.0.XXX IP addresses. After further trial and error, I came to the following conclusion that ensured all 60+ nodes on my home network were back online: I reset the router with the same firmware version (1.0.1.8) installed and utilized the default 182.168.1.XXX IP addresses. My router is set to DHCP server and it works flawlessly again. No static IPs were setup.
