thanks guys!

Great to hear that, I'll close this topic as it has been resolved. Feel free to open another should you have any further questions/issues.

There aren't any changes between those firmware versions that I could attribute this issue to unfortunately. It's doubtful there are any specific settings causing this either. However, could you check the livebox please and see how long its DHCP lease is please? Also as you've DMZ'd the XR did you set a static IP for it on the livebox? If not could you do this please and then also on the XR in Internet Setup change it to use static instead of dynamic please. 

Hi Netduma Fraser,
Thank you.  I appreciate it.

Sorted now thanks 

This guy is onto something.
 
I remember having read that on Vodafone, IPTV, internet etc have different VLAN groups. So in that case you would need to use the XR500's bridge mode with the right VLAN ID.

There isn't a scheduled reboot feature in modern Netgear routers as far as I know, although I could be wrong, my R7800 and RAX120 dont have that feature in the settings at all. The old prossafe/prosecure models don't even have that from what I can find online either.

The current vodafone router Vodafone AFF2EF autodetects the XR300 and names it as a XR300 with no manual editing.
If its not autodetecting and you have wired it as indicated , you either have a bad ethernet cable or you are using a crossover ethernet cable.
I bought and setup my XR300 less than a week ago and it was really simple , plug and play.
If you look at the ends of the ethernet cable (inside the connector) the standard wiring colours are (left to right)
white/orange orange white/green blue white/blue green white/brown brown and each end should be identically wired
the exact colours don't matter as long as they match at each end 
here is a link to a diagram https://sites.psu.edu/wsithelp/2017/07/20/cat5-network-cable-wiring-diagram/
Each end should be identical for proper operation 

There will likely not be a fix until our next firmware version DumaOS 3.0 is released but I couldn't say when that would be, we want to do a beta soon. Meanwhile you can change the DNS on the router to the VPN DNS or use a VPN Client if using for the PC.

There was a delay, we didn't get the full go ahead but should be next week, won't be long!

That's interesting, thanks for the information. I'll let the team know about this. 

Scheduled reboot is a good idea! Have added it to our list

¡Hola bienvenido al foro! Puede establecer la ID de etiqueta de VLAN en el R1 original, simplemente no puede establecer la prioridad.

Hello, welcome to the forum! You can set the VLAN Tag ID on the original R1, you just cannot set the priority.

Have you changed any settings in Advanced WiFi Settings? Are you using Smart Connect for WiFi?

Even though they're in your filter, if you add them to your allow list can you then hear them or do you have to allow that server in the US to hear them?

Do you experience this with any other wireless devices or just this one?

By the way you can achieve 10/100/1000 speeds on a Cat 5 cable but it has to be Cat5e.

Just look on the cable and you should be able to read the cable type. If not try to pick up a Cat 6 cable if you want to be sure.

Ok. Hopefully that’s it. 

Okay sounds good, will update you once I've tried it. 
For the record, CAT6 ONT is going to the R700P Internet port, then I'm running a CAT6 from one of the R700P ports to the Internet port of the XR500. From there, CAT6 from XR500 port to the PC. 

You've got some good advice here. I would always recommend using ethernet cables for gaming so either use the one you have or upgrade it to cat 6 so you can get your full speeds as well for when you download games/updates. Otherwise if you don't want to get a new cable then you could use 5GHz for downloading and it'll likely be faster.

I responded to your post here:
I''ll close this topic so we can continue there if needed.

You can see the icons on page 7 of this guide: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000071909-nighthawk-xr500-user-manual-guide-
The only one that is missing is where an icon appears with a dashed circle for an outline - that means it has been allowed by your ping assist settings.

I'm on Vodaphone Fibre and have an XR300
You want the WAN/Internet Ethernet connection on the XR500 wired to one of the hub connections on the Vodaphone Router/Modem
The good news is the current VF Router will recognise the device and assign it in the router interface.
What you need to do is assign the external interface of the XR500 to a static IP address on the Vodaphone router and then add it to the DMZ of the Vodaphone router.
The pics attached show what it looks like on my VF router. (My IP address is obscured for obvious reasons)
You'll find the NAT/DMZ setting under Internet and the static DHCP setting under settings
btw with Vodafone you have to use their router you can't replace it with any other router as they will not give you the info necessary to connect a third party router directly to their system.

oki thanks for info

Good luck with it and remember that it can take up to 9 days for DLM to make a change 👍
