Re: XR500 news?

Netgear do not generally talk about upcoming firmware releases, they will be released without much warning. There is however a hotfix firmware available here if you were experiencing disconnects: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-Routers/XR500-drops-internet/m-p/1744404/highl...

NG doesn't post information about when FW updates are forth coming. You have to keep an eye on the download web page. NG has not forgotten the XR routers. 

 

Are you having problems with your XR router? If not then you don't have to update FW. If you are then make a post and describe the problems. Maybe we can help you figure them out.
