XAV5501 problem after PC standby
Hi, I've just bought a XAVB5501 pack, with 2x XAV5501. I plugged one near my cablebox, and the other one in my bedroom to a Desktop PC (let give the name PC1, that runs Seven 64x). It works fine, c...
Add me to the list of persons with connectivity problems after standby. Have the XAV5501/XAV5504 kit with HTPC, blu ray and AV receiver connected to the XAV5504. The XAV5504 resumes from standby when I turn a connected device on. No problem there. However, the IP address assigned by DHCP to the connected devices is wrong. Instead of the standard home subnet of 192.168.1.x the adapter often assigns a different subnet address (sorry, I haven't made note of the incorrect address.) This requires unplugging and replugging the XAV5004 adapter. Normally the adapter then assigns the proper subnet and my connected devices operate fine. This seems to be intermittent; it will work fine for several days then require an unplug/replug. The next time this happens I will make note of the incorrect subnet address and post. Maybe this will help isolate the issue. But clearly this is a firmware bug that Netgear should fix.
