Powerline 500 Nano Disconnects at least once per week (XAVB5201)
Maybe once a week I lose my internet connection. After a few minutes the connection will come back. I live in a normal sized detached house. The problem used to be even worse where it would disco...
Have you updated the firmware to the most recent version (0.3.0.6) ? Also, have you tried disabling standby mode to see if it makes any difference?
How do I update the firmware? How do I disable standby mode? What does standby do exactly?
Pop onto Netgear's support page:
http://downloadcenter.netgear.com/
And type in XAVB5201 in the search box. Choose version 1 or 2 depending on which type you have (check the label on the back of the unit)
Firmware and instructions will then be provided by Netgear for you to help you update the firmware. Depending on the model you may also have a setting you can change to disable sleep mode.
Hope this helps.
