Re: xr500 LAN ports sometime will stop working

I just purchase this router 48 hours ago. I updated the firmware during setup.

So, shouldn’t my firmware be up to date?

I guess, like everyone else, can you please send me the firmware update that gets my LAN ports working again?

Re: xr500 LAN ports sometime will stop working

The latest firmware was only just released - could you please check which version of the firmware you're on? You should be able to get the latest version without us sending it via PM since it's now publicly available; you might just need to install it.

I just started having the same issue. My logs are filled with [DoS Attack: ACK Scan] alerts.

Re: xr500 LAN ports sometime will stop working

 

The 'DoS Attack' in the logs is almost certainly unrelated. It's just general white noise from the Internet (if you Google it you will see plenty of threads on this forum confirming it).

 

What exactly has happened? Has an Ethernet port failed on you?

Re: xr500 LAN ports sometime will stop working

Everything connected to LAN gets dropped while the worless works fine.
I just updated to the new firmware. Ill see if that solves my issue.

Re: xr500 LAN ports sometime will stop working

Having the same problem with my router, using the latest available firmware XR500 V2.3.2.32

Every 24hours the LAN ports drop out and stay disconnected until I soft reboot the router.

This is a major issue for me as the computers dropping out are an essential part of the network and expected to be available 24x7 by other devices on the network.

Any advice on how to correct this issue, If we can't get this stable I will have to return the router to the store and go with another company.

Re: xr500 LAN ports sometime will stop working

On your Xbox please enable Energy Saving mode, if PS4 fully power off dont let it standby.

Reason being we've identified they affect the way the router connects when they wake up. Let us know if that resolves the issue.
