XAV5004 doesn't always come out of standby
I've got an XAV5001 connected to my router, another XAV5001 at a PC, and they work together well. However, I also have an XAV5004 with a DVD player and AppleTV (G1) connected, and it rarely comes o...
I have a similar problem with the XAV5004 not waking up properly:
XAV5001 (v2.1.1CE) next to Broadband Router
XAV5004 (v2.0.9CE) downstairs connected to a PVR
The PVR can connect without a problem to the internet initially. But once the XAV5004 has gone into standby mode, even though the XAV5004 appears to wake up (LEDs come on), the PVR can no longer connect to the internet.

This is very frustrating, since the PVR needs regular (daily) internet access to contact an internet server for scheduling updates.
I have another XAV5001 and never have problems, despite it being unused for long periods (days).
I have raised a ticket with Netgear support - let's see what happens...
