Re: Info about XR500

We don't recommend accessing the interface via a mobile device as it's not optimised for that. Connect using a PC if possible try routerlogin.net if that doesn't work then use the IP address which is 192.168.1.1, can you access the interface then? What exactly did you change before the issue occurred?

Re: Info about XR500

Hi Pat, I don't work for Netgear specifically so I may be giving incorrect advice, however I would imagine that because it is a used device the warranty does not apply any more. What says West Coast - the region in the router settings? @Christian_R can you help?

Re: Info about XR500

I think you're referring to the Geo-Filter there. Don't worry, that's just the default starting position. Click the little pin icon and then click on the map where you want to move it to.

 

There's a full setup guide here to help you: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000077072-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-g...

Many problems in one post...

 

  1. There is no email support.
  2. Who says you are in west coast USA?
  3. The correct support channel isn't available if you can't register your new (refurbished? pre-used?) device - that would by via https://my.netgear.com/
  4. If you are in the UK and bought of eBay, what does the product label on the router (and/or the box) say ... XR500-100NAS or XR500-100EUS?
  5. A North-American (FCC/Canada) model can't be re-configured to match UK/European wireless legislation, connection issues are predictable, sophisticated clients like mobiles might not see your wireless signal on some channels.

As @Netduma-Fraser said, Netgear can help with re-association for refurbished units.
