Okay that is the right one, factory reset on that one and see how you get on. Then disable Auto Update in firmware update.

You're on the pre-beta .114 version in that case, you can find the beta version here: https://bit.ly/39ZN5JT

Re: New Firmware v2.3.2.108 (XR500)

I was confused too until I went back to an older router firmware prior to the beta. .114 is an update to the original/pre-beta router firmware before Ping Heat Map and Connection Benchmark.

Apparently there is also a new beta update named similarly to .114. I can’t access that beta as the .114 I downloaded put me back to the latest original router settings prior to the beta. What is the ocorrect link to download the latest beta firmware update after .108?

Use this link to download the correct version (inserted link as it's ridiculously long)

@Netduma-Fraser 

Updated to 114 and factory reset. FYI 108 had been running for 42 days at time of update, so mine seemed pretty stable.

 

Below are two attached screenshots. The issue with updating the local IPs in device manger seemed to work except it also shows the previous ipv4.  That might be normal? I also notice the ipv6 shows up intermitently, have not seen any reason.  But if ipv6 is still not working right that might explain it. Not sure what all information it is suppose to display.

 

Also the network monitor screens are completey blank and do not even seem functional now.  If this issue is not just me then ignore this. I noticed this in 108 before I updated but I am not sure on my router how long those have not been working.  I know they worked in 104.

 

PS Should I leave ipv6 on?

 

Oops, can only attach one file and too lazy to combine them. Imgur one is the network monitor one.

@Funstuff Thanks for the update!

 

You could try removing the device from device manager and then reconnect, see if that clears the extra address, though I don't see it causing any harm!

 

Are you using IPv6 for anything? If not you can go ahead and disable it!

 

With regards to network monitor, can you intentionally generate some traffic like a download or something and see if it detects it?

@-JK- what happens when you try to access it?

@Delx lease changes will still occur for proper functionality of the router but is it causing any disconnects?

Re: New Firmware v2.3.2.108 (XR500)

Hi @Netduma-Fraser 

Like I said before, it maybe in your best interest to start a new thread about the New Firmware "v2.3.2.114-DumaOS3.0.203" (XR500)

This way you can track the bugs in this firmware v2.3.2.114-DumaOS3.0.203 BETA and not have to keep directing beta testers to the new Beta.  This is just a suggestion....

 

I have been using this latest beta and it is working well in terms of the Ping Heatmap and the DHCP issues look to be fixed.  

Still lots of bugs to squash but off to a good start.

Re: New Firmware v2.3.2.108 (XR500)

Yes thats the beta firmware I was using. I now downloaded 114 firmware from XR500 Firmware Version 2.3.2.114 | Answer | NETGEAR Support and reset.

 

which is the best?

@Netduma-Fraser the link you posted to the new beta .114 prompts me for a Microsoft account password that I can’t seem to get past. Should that be the netduma account password or the netgear one?

@tekonsite I would do that but we haven't officially released it yet really, I'll talk with the team though as it's basically released now.
@Delx the link you provided there is the non beta version so it depends whether you want to continue using the beta or not.
@niewiado use the dropbox link above and it shouldn't ask you for a password.

Re: New Firmware v2.3.2.108 (XR500)

@Netduma-Liam 

I am unable to remove the device from the device manager which seems to be another bug. The delete is faded out on the device I am trying to delete. See attached file. I tried from 2 different PCs and also unplugged the device I was trying to delete from the XR500 router with no change and in the time (a few minutes) it never went to an offline state. The devices showing offline did have the delete highlighted.

 

Also below is the image link for a download going with not information relayed to the network monitor app.

I disabled ipv6 for now.

 

Thanks.

Re: New Firmware v2.3.2.108 (XR500)

The device needs to be offline in order for you to delete it from device manager, sorry I should've been clearer.

 

Have you tried rebooting the router just to see if network monitor then recovers?
