Nighthawk XR500 - keeps changing the PPPOE password
Hi,
am having a problem with this router. For a long time i have faced numerous internet disconnections, that i had to restart the router couple of times and wait for hours to suddenly work and it happens about every 2 days. After contacting my service provider he asked what brand my router was i said Netgear. he said that couple of people with same issue with netgear , he said some kind of bug that causes the router to randomly change or forget the PPPOE internet provider password. i didnt believe it at first , but when i got disconnected i tried to retype the password, and it immediatley went online and that fixed it every time !! now i dont want to loose the internet suddenly and retype it every two days any fix ?? i have latest software for the router. too bad for a very expensive router 😞

This definitely shouldn't be happening. Have you tried installing this hotfix firmware for dropouts? It might help you out.

Be sure to factory reset the XR router after loading FW and setup from scratch.
