Sense going to the latest firmware version for the XR700 (1.0.1.34), the wireless has been crashing out several times. It went fine at first but now the last couple days its been crashing. The wireless is lost both 2.4 and 5ghz but wired connections remain. Give it a little more time and the router itself would reboot. Or I had to reboot.
I been working from home but primarily been using the wired connection. So the wireless is not hit to hard. Not sure what could be making it crash out, not to mention it rebooting. And I do not see any issues relating to heating problems. When it was upgraded to .34 I had done a hard reset and reconfigured all over again. I just do not have the time to do this all over again nor can rely on this much anymore. I’ll be replacing it with my old R8500 putting this XR700 on the shelf until I can see a firmware version that appears to resolve all the issues this device has to offer. I been using netgear devices for a very very long time and this by far has been a complete waste.
Sorry to hear that is still happening. I think that is probably the wise thing to do in this situation and wait to see if the 3.0 helps with the issue.
