XR500 - Losing Connection to Router Regularly

Hello all,

I just installed an XR500 this week.  It's been great except the router seems to disappear for the length of ~5 pings on a regular basis.  I ran a constant ping and saved the results.  For the majority of this time, no person was using the network as we were out of the house.


The pings


Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.

Hi - we responded to your post on the Netduma forum but posting our response here as well in case you see it first:

 

 

Hi and welcome to the forum. The first step is isolating the cause of this packet loss. 

 

Are you able to connect directly to your modem and repeat the test? It's possible that the issue is with your line, rather than the router.

 

Also, could you do these steps for good housekeeping:

  1. Update to the latest firmware:  http://forum.netduma.com/topic/24371-new-firmware-v22110/
  2. Disable IPv6 if you're using it
  3. If you're using PPPoE, enter your credentials on your modem instead of the XR500

Finally, are you dong this test wirelessly? If yes, please repeat on a wired connection so we can compare.
