jmcbigler Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I have a xr500 that has been randomly dropping internet connection. Firmware version V2.3.2.18. When connection has been lost I have unplugged my cat5 from my computer and plugged the computer cat5 directly into the modem and it works fine.

ghoul2oo3 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hey, welcome to the forum! I've sent you a PM with a firmware that should resolve the issue. I seem to also be having this issue Fraser, would it be possible to grab the firmware as well? I take it this fix will be included in the next major firmware release for this product?

monsterfj Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I’m having the same issue but with Wifi even if I have a good connection with full bars! Can you also PM me the Firmware that would fix this issue? I’m wondering why this fix hasn’t been released yet, most recent topics on this forum were all about the connection drops issue. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFuzzyOne87 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I think I might be having the same problem! Although it is hard to tell because the XR500 can't provide modem stats for me to know if it's disconnecting or not, all I have is a ping monitor running from the internet. If you look at the attached drawing the top of the graph shows tiny red spikes (ignore the start of the graph that was me setting it up). I'll check the logs on the XR500 to see if anything obvious can be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trueseeker Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Can you send me the firmware as well, having drop issue too. Also notice when I modify my DNS non of my devices change to the DNS I put into the router. When I use any other router the DNS changes all devices.

Mai keth Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Hi Fraser, I bought the XR500 and over the weekend, both days I had the internet drop out once on each occasion. Never will actively online, usually after I have not been using the internet for a few hours. Would you be able to send me the updated firmware please? Other than this issue, I have been loving this router. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is quite old, the fix was in the latest release which is currently v2.3.2.32 If you are not running this version I would suggest upgrading to this first, it can be downloaded direct from the router or from Netgears website. If you are running the latest version already then I would suggest creating a new forum thread giving information regarding your problem. Cheers!
