I have an issue in that when my xbox on is in instant on mode I lose my wired connection to my XR500. The only way to resolve is to reboot the router. Happens everytime my xbox is in instsant on, which is nnoying as I try and leave it in this mose in order to download updates etc. Nothing else loses connection, just my xbox. Tried all sorts to resolve this but cannot find a solution. Very frustrating.

Re: XR500 drops internet while xbox one is in instant on mode
Still having a strange issue. When the router is rebooted it will not be able to get a DHCP address from the ISP with it's default MAC address. If I rerun the setup wizard, it will automatically swich to my computers MAC address and the internet will start working but will cap out at 60Mbps instead of 200. If I call the ISP and have them do a reset on their end and then reset the router to it's default MAC instead of the computer MAC it'll work until I need to restart.
Don't know what's going on but it's pretty frustrating, having to call the ISP every time I restart the router just to get the thing to grab an address on it's default MAC address.
Installed the newer firmware. It was chugging along good. I hooked up my xbox one last night, and watched a 4k movie. (xbox received updates when I plugged it back in.) This morning I went to my computer(hard wired), and no internet. I unplugged the Xbox and rebooted the modem.

I've factory reset about 10 times now, that doesn't matter. We worked with the ISP to make sure they are seeing the routers MAC on their end. Guess we'll see how far this gets us this time.
@Radiax - thanks for the update. Leave the Xbox fully powered off when you’re not using it and see if this fixes your issue. Would be useful to know if so.
Re: XR500 drops internet while xbox one is in instant on mode
I had the exact same issue today after power cycling the XR500. I lost my internet connection due to the router MAC address switching as you describe. I had revert the router to defaults and rerun the setup wizard to get the connection back.
So the firmware you provided worked for 5 days, then last night the router lost all internet for about a minute, then it booted back up. Any suggestions is appreciated.
