Xr1000 V2 having DNS issues and unable to connect to websites
I just bought this router and i am having some series issues. I have updated to the latest firmware and did all the suggested things. Is anyone else having these issues and has anyone fixed it? I ha...
Ok, so it's been several hours now and we've not experienced this issue again not once.
With what I'm seeing about the XR1000 and recent security vulnerabilities and failed automatic firmware updates, I'm quite confident that 1) it is indeed an issue not only effecting but actually caused by the XR1000 and it's firmware, and 2) NetGear not only caused this issue which is effecting a great number of people, but is at least up to this moment unable and apparently unwilling to both acknowledge it, let alone fix it.
I and many others have dropped NetGear and switched brands, and it appears NetGear is fine with that. I simply will not support a company who refuses to support their customers.
So my next question is, if it is the NetGear routers that are causing the intermittent latency issues, and they can't or won't get it completely resolved, and most of us are past the 1 year warranty period - what should we do? Just trash the $200+ router and buy a better more reliable product?
I don't mind spending money for quality goods, but my use and needs just can't justify spending $400+ for a router.
I bought my XR1000v2 used and I purchased a 2-3 year warranty with it, but I'm sure that they simply fix or replace it with another one of the same brand and model.
