XR700 Wifi disconnects

No I own my modem. It's only about 5 months old. I had Xfinity come out yet again and it seems my speeds are where they need to be. I am still having problems with the XR700. Devices are losing connection and in order to reconnect I have to reboot the router, which would be fine except i have most of my house has smart light switched, bulbs, echos etc and I have to manually connect them every time. Seems maybe there is a problem with DHCP.

No and they should. I have set up as many as I can with static IP's but it didn't help.

Could you downgrade to the .20 version and see if that resolves both the issues please?

Ok I am currently running the 1.0.1.10 version

Did downgrading resolve your issue?

No it did not. It seems to happen about every 7 days. Everything disconnects and only a few devices can obtain a valid ip. Then I have to factory reset the router and connect every device again.

Okay so that could be around the time the DHCP lease renews. By any chance do the devices that still work have a static IP set?

No. It seems random. It looks like devices start grabbing IP's and get about 10 devices. After that they stop and if you try to connect something else(tablet,phone, game console) they say cant connect to your DHCP t try rebooting your router. That doesnt work.

How big is your DHCP pool of IP addresses to choose from? E.g. 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.250

I have tried a variety of ranges. .10-.100, .100-.200, .50-.150 and then entire range.

That's very odd and you say a reboot doesn't resolve it? If you apply the LAN Settings again does that kick it into action? Also how are you using WiFi, smart connect or connecting individually? HT160, MUMIMO?

A reboot does not resolve it. The only thing that resolves it fully is to reset the router and connect each device again. I am using smart connect. MU-NIMO is checked and enable 160 is not checked. I have never mess with the last two. I just used what defaults were.

Okay disable smart connect and connect individually to 2.4 or 5GHz and see if that helps at all.

Most devices still do not connect..even after a few reboots. I will have to factory reset again to get everything to connect. I will try that later then turn off the smart connect.

Okay keep us updated please!

Same issue. It happens about 7 days on the dot. I even bought a new modem thinking there was a communication issue.

So a weird thing happened. I rebooted the router thru the interface and everything came back online. The weird thing is now the interface is messed up. It's like it is shifted over and I cant see everything, also I'm getting an error that says "This R-app is not loaded yet, please try again in a minute. " None of the R-apps are loading.

I had to do a hard reset again to get things to work.

Glad to hear it's working now, keep us updated if it happens again.

I'm really getting frustrated with this router. Most R-apps do not load. I have tried from laptops, cell phones, ipad, chrome, ie, and edge. Half the time the router doesnt work the other half it doesnt work like it should. How do I get the R-apps to work properly??? Am I the only one that has these issues?

Have you got the latest beta firmware?
