Re: XR500 Ethernet ports die randomly?
Netgear and Microsoft are working together on a fix, so there's no new firmware yet. The workaround is to disable Instant On mode for now.

It doesn't occur for everyone. Do you have a spare switch you could connect behind the XR500 for your wired devices? That's a known workaround
I was just coming here to suggest that^^

Re: XR500 Ethernet ports die randomly?
Just checking to see if we have an update coming? I don't want to be some one that keeps repeating themselves and I know updates take time. However, living with the temporary fix for the Xbox means having to manually update all of my games when I turn it on, rather than have them update in the background. It's become a bigger annoyance than I thought it would.
Thanks so much.

Re: XR500 Ethernet ports die randomly?
I had this router last year and I was having this exact same issue. I took it back. I have an XBox One as well, but mine is wireless and I was still having this issue. I am possibly in the market for a new router and want to give this one a try again, but not if I am going to have the same issues. I can't believe this is still an issue. Has there been ANY progress made on getting the Ethernet ports to stop crapping out? I have 2 wired devices connected to my current router. My main PC and then another router which is for my home security system. It doesn't do any routing or anything like that. Do the newer version of the XR Nighthawk routers also suffer from this issue?

Re: XR500 Ethernet ports die randomly?
I have had zero issues since I went that route. They are still working on a solution but tbh, the solution will probably only be fixed for the next generation consoles. Therefore the switch is your best bet

Re: XR500 Ethernet ports die randomly?
However, I've noticed that now the Xbox isn't automatically updating games/apps in the background. I've ensured that I have all the settings on the Xbox correct, and have never encountered this issue before. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be the issue?

Re: XR500 Ethernet ports die randomly?
I gave it a few days to test this method and for any potential updates to push.
First results were not successful, After switching to spectating mode while the console is off I still had pending updates when booting up the console. At this point, I decided to hard reset the console to ensure it's not an issue on the console side. I booted up this monring after the reset and I'm still not getting updates pushed.
Not sure if I'm missing an action required on the GeoFilter? Any help is much appreciated

Re: XR500 Ethernet ports die randomly?
If the Geo-Filter is in Spectating Mode then it's effecitvely disabled from a filtering perspective, which means the blocker is somewhere else.
If you run the network test on the Xbox, do you have an open NAT?
Do the downloads even start when you have the Xbox fully on? Want to make sure it's not being blocked just by your Xbox going into Sleep Mode.
If you connect the Xbox to your modem, does it download the updates?

Re: XR500 Ethernet ports die randomly?
CCOPELAND, welcome to the party. Most likely you have an XBox that is set to instant on within your network. You have two choices to solve the problem at present: 1. Disable the Instant On mode from your XBox. 2. Put a switch such as (NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch (GS605NA)) between your XBox and your XR500. The XBox's Instant On Mode is causing an internal conflict on the XR500 that disables the LAN ports. Either one of the two options will correct your problem.

Re: XR500 Ethernet ports die randomly?
What Firmware is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch if one is in the configuration.
What wired devices do you have connected to the LAN ports?
