Does the Nighthawk XR500 or XR700 have max idle feature

[arky_4]

Hi All,

I’m thinking of purchasing one of the Nighthawk models either XR500 or XR700.

Can I check there is a max idle setting or keep alive option?

Annoyingly purchased a router which turns out is pretty poor mainly for the dumaos but doesn’t have the feature above which is needed.

I believe the Nighthawk models use the dumaOS so wanted to double check?

What is max idle needed for? 

Just curious...

[arky_4]

apparently my router as it stands is sending user requests to ISP to disconnect. I'm told all routers should have this feature?

Just wanted to double check its there before forking out the cash!

Depends, 

What mfr and model Modem or ONT do you have? 

I have NG CM series modems and haven't see any modem to XR issues in handling with my XR450. Same HW as XR500 sans 2.4Ghz differences.
