hey all 3 weeks ago i decided to upgrade my old netgear router with a new one ... the xr 500, i am very impressed with the xr 500 good performance and good wifi signal but i have a big problem from day 1 ... the router stop my internet connection (wifi and lan) at every 2 to 3 days and nothing fix the problem until i reboot it. I never have this problem with my old one N600 WNDR3700v2.

Try rolling back your firmware to .40. I had a similar problem, though internet would only disconnect for 5ish seconds then would immediately reconnect vs your problem of the whole router needing to be restarted. Going on 20 hours now with no disconnects so far.

Given that DHCP leases are renewed at the halfway mark, this seems very similar to other issues regarding IP Address Renewals on this message board. Including my post today: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-Routers/XR500-Disconnects-on-lease-expiration-...

Re: xr500 Router Dropping Internet at every 2-3 day
I imagine that the problem is being caused by faulty communication between the modem and the router.
The DumaOS 3.0 update will fix many bugs and introduce many new features so hopefully it will make your investment fee more worthwhile.

I can't give you an ETA on the update but I can say we're about to enter closed beta, so that should give you an idea.
