Issues with VOD on TV Devices
Not sure how to explain it properly because english is not my main language I installed the XR500 a month ago using my old modem/router as a bridge and everything works great - i got a PC connected...

I have no way to know for sure if it will definitely fix it but if any firmware version to date would it would be this one coming. If it doesn't then it provides the perfect opportunity to feedback that to us so we can fix it.

Same issue here TWO YEARS LATER. XR500 issue causing no VOD using an Android Streaming Box. Issue is the router confirmed.
I am using a bridge mode config. ISP Modem connected to my Netgear XR500.
Latest firmware to router and latest to the BuzzTV Media Box. MP4 streaming is blocked to this Box.
I see no solution
- ThorfinnJun 21, 2022StarSo to "solve" this
I changed my dlink modem/router back to act as the main router. And plugged my tv directly to it
So now VoD is working perfect.
I took the netgear and plugged into my dlink as a access point. So it send wifi to my entire house
It's sad I can't use it as a main router but it's the only way to "solve" my issue - Netduma-FraserJun 21, 2022NetDuma Partnertvlarry could you make a new topic for the issue? Also let us know what you have tried so we can rule it out
For you Thorfinn I think because it is provided by the ISP is why it needs to be connected to that to work properly.
