XR500 Connectivity Issues, LAN/WIFI/ Philips Hue - 4yrs and still no fix
Issues Still not fixed, running latest firmware release not beta.. still waiting on beta to test...
Anything wired still has intermittent drop outs.
(Wired) I can connect to NAS via Local IP and Finder which I couldn't do before.. wireless is still an issue..
(Wifi) I can sort of connect to the NAS local IPhoweverit literally takes 5 minutes to load up and then takes another 5 minutes to log in and sometimes will just give me a white screen or a server busy/timeout message. So still an issue here.
(Wifi) I can not connect to my NAS via finder at all.
(Wifi) Media Servers on the NAS have the same issue as 3. taking too long too load/not loading at all.. As I'm typing this entire thing the media servers have still failed to load.
On the plus side.. I can access the NAS via its external IP but this is ridiculous I should be able to access it locally.
One thing I have noticed though is when I have it in router mode these issues tend to be worse than when I have it in AP mode, almost as if this router was not made to be stand alone but is marketed as one..
Can someone at Netgear fix this or invite me to the Beta test? Thanks
