i bought Nighthawk XR500 about 9 months ago from newegg the router itself is great , amazing wi-fi range ,qos , geo filter and all other features are great but it is been constantly rebooting for no reason , i tried everything including rollingback on previous updates , change 2.4 and 5 Ghz channels and enable anti buffer bloat but unfortunately nothing seems to work it is keeping to reboot sometimes it doesn't reboot for a week then it would reboot 4 or 5 times in 1 hour
Sorry to hear you're having this issue, do you have the router plugged into a power extender by any chance? If so plug it directly into the wall and see if that resolves the issue.

the ISP gave me a bad router i used for the first month that was working perfectly fine without any interruptions but with the XR500 it started rebooting from the first day i bought although the internet itself is working
So it's been rebooting itself for 9 months? I'd suggest you make a ticket with Netgear here: http://support.netgear.com/ sounds like it could be faulty.
Do a reset before applying the FW update, then one after Step 6. "Wait for upgrade progress to complete." Set up from scratch by walking thru the setup wizard with a web browser.
Unfortunately the problem is still happening and i applied for a faulty product for more than THREE times and not a signal response Worst company ever will never buy a netgear product again
