I recommend that you leave the DHCP IP address pool range set to a smaller range. You don't have to use the default range. I personally never use the factory range on any NG router. Also this provides room for static IP addressed devices as well. I use .100 to .150 as I only have around 30 devices. Plenty of room for additional devices if and when that happens.
We hope so, however don't have that info.
Thanks Liam - just to confirm the process for this: "Factory reset the XR500"
Is it:
Settings / Administration / Backup Settings / Revert to factory default settings / Erase
domino138 yes that's correct!
I've been running on .134 for 3 days now - performed the upgrade as per the steps set out by Liam. Just not happy. General internet performance is poor. All three of my kids are independently saying their games are lagging. I need to go back to a version prior to .130.
.120 was working fine for me for months - I will go back to that but before I do is there anything you'd like me to do?
- You may just need to re-adjust your QoS settings but if you need to go back that's absolutely fine, nothing you need to do. Once our planned update goes out everything should be a lot more stable and bring it in line with other platforms.
Is this a bug on the latest firmware 134 where under system information it still shows 130?
Anyone else can confirm?
Thanks!
Unfortunately I can't see the image as it's not been moderated yet.
Are you referring to the DumaOS version field? Perhaps try attaching the image rather than pasting it, I should be able to see it then.
Your picture shows v.134...

- Clear your browser cache/cookies and then it will update correctly
Actually, this issue occurs when using remote connection to the router but locally it seemed to reflect the correct version under system information. Oddly, I tried clearing the cache/cookie data this morning from my office before logging on to the router at home and it now shows the correct version.
Thank you for reconfirming. ***SOLVED***
That's great to hear, let us know if you have any other issues.
- Of course not, that's something that will be fixed. I'll reply to your other comment in your topic.
- I wouldn't suggest upgrading to a different OS, you may struggle to re-upgrade back to DumaOS and if you have any warranty left that would invalidate it.
- Dude chill out it's not that serious there's stable firmware out there. If it affects your life so bad buy a different router.
And luckily the 134 update is not broken. The 130 update completely crapped itself after a while when I updated to that, I'm glad you guys fixed most of every bug in 134 on 130 most of everything wouldn't connect. After a while I updated I had to format it to factory default and now it all works- I did this is a public forum plus I have the xr450 which is just like the xr500 minus small differences. Ive only had a few hiccups but for the majority of 2 years this router has been nothing short of amazing.
