Well I can’t really help you. This router is a combination of NG and Netduma, so firmwares are supplied under one roof. I would suggest if you don’t have luck with this router maybe try a nice basic one that’s easier to understand. You clearly don’t understand low level coding which needs clearing at times.still that’s routers, if you want SNB is a good site to learn why a reset is required. I’ll let you google that as it’s good for you to research yourself for more understanding. you should do more research and perhaps read the manuals from support so you understand a bit more about the XR routers. Good luck.

It’s very easy to reset. You use the same credentials as before and hey presto all your devices connect straight away. A straight forward reset with no reserved lists takes no more than 10mins. It’s the same with most routers. Yes you have to redo your settings but hey it’s a gaming router with software to match. If you struggle you need a different router with a more basic UI that’s easier to quickly setup. It take me 10 mins at most to set up my RAX120. Auto updates are on as end users don’t often do manual checks or understand why firmwares are needed. You can simply go into the UI and disable this. There’s nothing hidden or doing it without your consent. it sounds like you have never logged in asking your questions. How did you set this router up to start with?

Deleted but I feel your pain

Got to say I agree. I’m fine here after a reboot and I’ve turned auto update off which I’m taking it does prevent this from happening but would be nice to have confirmation.

Under settings there is network, have you altered that in any way? i take it you have rebooted the iPhone as well. Have you tried to reinstall the app? If HomeKit works off the same phone it maybe the app that’s not playing fair. I’ve had a few issues with their app, it was impossible to update until recently on my iPad Pro yet an old iPad mini on iOS 9 could. Same with out of home control, that was really unreliable for me and again a recent update has solved it. If all else fails You might have to go a complete reinstall and start fresh but I do wonder if the app is to blame.

when you start up the hue app do you see the green pop up on the bottom that says connected?

Are you connecting via Wi-fi or cellular? just double check under hue settings that out of home control is set on. If it’s off turn it on then try again. Double check it’s running the latest update too.

Is that using the Hue app or Apples HomeKit ?
