For the most part the XR500 is a great router. THAT BEING SAID, without solid parental control capabilities, the router is just a plain waste of money for any family with kids. Manually turning on an off internet on week nights is tedious and unnecessary. At the least, NetGear sghould post a video on hour to schedule turning off an on specific IP/Mac addresses to help parents that may not be that technical. Its time for DUMAOS and Netgear to get this feature added to the router. They have been taking about it for quite some time, but for some reason it has not been a priority. NetGear DUMAOS is this a planned feature? And if so, WHEN???? View the full article

Hi Guys, I Own an XR500 nighthawk router. updated with latest firmware. I've recently been having 100mbs/40 with my isp. No issues. Upgraded to the 250mbs/100, and the weird thing is isp is saying its all good and nbn are saying its all good. I run the setup with my router (as it determines speeds) and it detects the 250mbs HOWEVER- i then pull open a speedtest browser and the test starts at around 130mbs and slowly falls to approx 105mbs. I can't help thinking the router is playing up with speeds? as when i bypass the router I get 250mbs. Someone please help View the full article

Hi Everyone,Excuse my lack of knowledge but I am looking for a Router to do the following and I "think" the XR500 would be suitable for my requirements.1) Throttle Bandwidth per device. So for e.g. Mobile phones I want to set a maximum upload/download 2) Set schedules when the device can use the Internet 3) I want to log all IP addresses / websites being accessed in real time or close too accessible with history. My kids are getting at an age I want to see what they are doing.Thank you for your timeRegardsBran View the full article

Un grand merci a BIG DOG ainsi que netduma jack pour les explications qui m'ont ete envoyées. Ceci dit je laisse le xr500 seul car il travail mieux seul que avec le s8000 pour mon utilisation. Par contre j'ai constaté que le routeur me donne toujours les mêmes vitesses , à savoir 300 up and 300 down, même aprés 10 test mais les sites de speedtest ou testdedebit.fr j'ai toujours des resultats inferieurs alors je ne sais pas quoi choisir comme vitesse à mettre dans le routeur afin de ne pas subir les lags!! Avez vous une petite idée s'il vous plaît? View the full article

When will a new update for the router. Since the last update has been already as much as 2 months. You have there that one person is working on updates is obtained. As I will not read the message then here's catch the beta version of the cute person. How much can you wait. Since the release of the router itself, it has not been possible to complete a single full-fledged update, which has been added at least something big or new. You just promise and promise. Already coming to the end of the 8th month with the launch of the router in the company, and you just make mistakes. And those can not repair. Shame and shame on you. View the full article

I recently purchased the XR500 AND S8000 (bundle from Costco for price of XR500). I will try to be as specific as I can with my setup and the issues / concerns I'm experiencing. My Setup: Cable (200Mbps / 12 Mbps) > Modem (Netgear CM1000) > Router (Netgear Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR500) > Switch (Netgear Nighthawk S8000 Gaming & Streaming Switch) (HP Pro Curve Switch x2 - J9449-60001) Connections to XR500: S8000 (Ethernet Port 8) to XR500 (Ethernet Port 1) / HP Pro Curve Switch to XR500 (Ethernet Port 2) / HP Pro Curve Switch to XR500 (Ethernet Port 3) Connections to S8000: Xbox One X to S8000 (Ethernet Port 1) / PS4 Pro to S8000 (Ethernet Port 2) / Apple TV 4K to S8000 (Ethernet Port 3) XR500 Settings: UPnP On (checked) / NAT Filtering - Open XR500 Settings: Geo-Filter - Devices (Xbox One X / Xbox One S / PS4 Pro) All Set to Filtering Mode XR500 Settings: Geo-Filter - Options - Strict Mode (checked) / Auto Ping Host (checked) XR500 Settings: Geo-Filter - Map (Distance Set to 1560 miles) XR500 Settings: QoS - Anti-Bufferbloat - Options - Goodput (checked) / Disable QoS (not checked) XR500 Settings: QoS - Anti-Bufferbloat - Always / Upload (70%) / Download (70%) XR500 Settings: QoS - Bandwidth Allocation (38 devices) - Upload / Download (Xbox One X - 50% / Microsoft Xbox One S - 25% / Remaining Devices - 1%) XR500 Settings QoS - Traffic Prioritization - Dumas OS Classified Games Enabled (checked) S8000 Settings: QoS Enabled Latest Firmware Installed on XR500 (v2.3.2.22) and on S8000 (v1.7.0.6) Issue / Concern 1: I've noticed, when playing Elder Scrolls Online, that sometimes I experience noticeable lag (never noticed lag with previous router - Asus RT-AC5300) Issue / Concern 2: It seems that no matter what I do with Anti-Bufferbloat settings (On or Off) / QoS settings (On or Off) / Traffic Prioritization settings / Geo-Filter settings), my PING remains the same (between 20 and 24 using PingPlotter App). I've ran several speedtests using DSL Reports and always have achieved an 'A' for Bufferbloat. Issue / Concern 3: After reading another post regarding the XR500 and S8000, it seems QoS enabled on both the XR500 and S8000 might be a problem. I really don't want to disable QoS on the XR500, but not sure whether the S8000 or the XR500 would do a better job. Question: Do I have my configuration (XR500 / S8000) set up correctly (see connections above for details)? Should the Xbox One X / PS4 Pro be connected to the back of XR500 instead of S8000? Note: When I check the 'Port Status' on S8000, the Xbox One X (connected to Ethernet Port 1- Gaming) shows Linked Speed at 10M Full, the PS4 Pro (connected to Ethernet Port 2) shows Linked Speed at 100M Full, and the Apple TV 4K (connected to Ethernet Port 3) shows Linked Speed at 1000M Full. I'm wondering why the Xbox One X has only a Linked Speed at 10M Full. It seems that should be more (as well as PS4 Pro) since the Apple TV 4K has a Linked Speed at 1000M Full. I'm hoping I can get some help trying to figure out what is going on, as I feel something isn't right with the router and my setup. Please let me know if you need further information. If I experience any other issues, I'll be sure to post them. Thanks for taking time to reply with any troubleshooting suggestions. View the full article
