@V1Z10N can you hard turn off the console please, wait 2 minutes and try again?
@Dumauser3348493 make a custom rule on Traffic Prioritization for the PC, src 1-65535 dst 1-65535 Normal, Apply to WAN then do a speed test please and see what you get.

I tried with a phone not sure it if should still work but speeds remain the same. I'm starting to wonder if it's my phone hardware problem since it's had some hard drops. A chromebook across the house received near 200mbps while my pixel 3 and other phones get 60-80 even standing near the router

@V1Z10N How is the console connected to the router? Do you see any icons when first booting up the game or blank there as well?
@Dumauser3348493 haha no worries, happens to the best of us, thanks for the update on what it was!

Nothing comes up bruv,Geo-Filter is empty like my pockets,my console is connected directly to the router via cat8 gold plated 1 GB cable,anyway,.. I went back to .114 DumaOs 3.0 and everything works fine for me,The Geo-Filter is a Christmas Tree again,woohoo. I do think that whenever yall drop an update ill wait a week to see others feedback to determine whether i should update or not,I want 3.0 but these constant issues can get to the best of us.

@V1Z10N it's more likely the severing of the connections by the upgrade/reset did that, I suspect if you upgrade again then it will work.

Hi @Netduma-Fraser  @PEJMAN 

Unfortunaltely, we don't have this design. You should have wifi and GUI management credential pretection. It should not easily be accessed by others.

Yes I had reset the router after .120 update...Thanks for the .104 link and I have now downgraded to 104 and hope not to see internet drops cos I never had Internet drops issue with .104 before when it was released.

@Netduma-Fraser 

@PEJMAN there isn't a way to do that currently, I'm not sure if it's something that will be implemented but maybe @TimChang can take a look at that possibility? 

yes please force him to make changes and i'm very grateful. i think it is very important option to implement to the OS, and i know other company´s already have this option in software level. please add this option in futur!

By chance, do you have traffic meter turned on?

@justaname Did you factory reset after the .120 update?
@Nareshak keep us posted!
@PEJMAN Tim has said this won't be possible above: "Unfortunaltely, we don't have this design. You should have wifi and GUI management credential pretection. It should not easily be accessed by others."

Re: New Firmware v2.3.2.120 (XR500)

As mentionned in several posts, the disconnection issue is still there.

 

After a bit more of a week of uptime (it's always around 7 days and a few hours since the first beta), wifi internet is dropped (you are still connected to the wifi), then lan internet is dropped, then ultimately you can't reach the router (ping comes back with error).

Manually turning the router off then on solves the issue for a week.

I'm using only IPv4.

 

At this stage instead of trying to fix an issue that is plaguing this router for a long time now, may I suggest a planned reboot feature implemented please.

 

Thanks

Can't wait to use this router as my doorstop. Money well spent 😛 the more updates we get the more disconnects I get. Done all steps mentioned except unplug and hit with hammer

For anyone experiencing the router rebooting or dropping internet, do you have traffic meter enabled?

Yes I have. Do you think it's what overflow the memory of the router or something ?

The issue is that you don't have much time between loss of internet and router unreachable 😞

Try this:
Reset your counter, hit apply, then turn the counter off (uncheck) then apply again and reboot. I have been plagued with 2 routers rebooting 4 times a days and I just turned that off and made check the NTP time which was out of sync and I have had 17 hours of uptime and no reboot. First time in 2 years across 2 xr500's

@mathmath51 if you can't do it don't worry Tim does have data from other users, would be interested to see if the above works for you.
