XR500 afterwarranty service

Hello,

I'm looking for afterwarranty service for XR500 device - uboot is broken, device is working in switch mode, only usb2 led is lighting.

Where can I find list services that will be able to reprogram flash in Europe?

How did that happen? Your best bet is to use TFTP to try and upload the latest firmware and see if that resolves it https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP

Re: XR500 afterwarranty service

I don't know (power light is not blinking)- there's no response on serial port (previously it was) = no hope for tftp

 

engineers designd this device very well - it has broken just after warranty. No after warranty service = when it's broken, there's no chance to save our planet from electroscrap.

For 1 year I was happy customer but now, I will avoid to purshase device s from Netgear - better to go for unbranded device for less than half price.

@mardock2009 a reboot caused this issue? How did you reboot it? Can you access the interface?

You'll have to contact support by making a ticket or calling NG and they should be able to provide a replacement.
