Spoken like someone who did not read the post(s) thoroughly.      My last follow up indicated I replaced this router with an Asus RT-AX82U Pro , which worked perfect,  out of the box.     The issues with the Netgear are/were Netgear /Dumba$$ OS related, plain and simple.     Constant disconnects, very slow throughout ( as I mentioned earlier, most of my connections to the router are via Ethernet )  and the Dumba$$ utility being so extremely slow, when it worked at all.  Once I removed the Netgear and replaced it with the Asus, I have had ZERO issues, period!         It took me maybe one hour to set up the replacement and have not had to do a re-set yet ( other than when we lose power due to weather)

I have been having the same exact issues since I purchased my XR1000 1 year ago. It's such a trash OS, it's ridiculous. There's hundreds of the same reports, and yet still no fix other than "reinstall the firmware", which does not work. 

This problem has always occurred albeit in the past a reboot fixed it for a while and then r-apps would again quit loading. 
Today the r-apps wouldn’t load on a reboot. So I upp’ed the retries to 5 and then rebooted.   Still no luck. 
Then I updated my firmware to the latest and again no luck. 
I also hard cycled it and left it unpowered for 30 seconds. 
still no luck. 
 
im not able to see what devices are connected 

"This Rapp is not loaded yet, please try again in a minute"
Same BS here!!! This is the 2nd time I'm installing 1.00.58 on my XR1000.
1st...it was upnp problem and now it can't load the geo filter. I bought this router only for the geo filter!!!
Now again, I have to downgrade to 1.00.52. Are you f... 10 years old working on these firmware? So disappointed !!!
 
 
 
 
 

Not a joke unfortunately.  Absolute waste of a lot of Money.   I’ve had the replacement (ASUS  RT-AX86U Pro) running for a little over a week now.   The difference is night and day!!!!    Speed s and throughout both wireless and wired has doubled.   No device drops or wireless drops

Assuming this is not an April fools joke... Also feels like I'm a fool for purchasing the XR1000.
I've now owned mine for over a year and it's been THE worse router I've ever owned.
I purchase it for QoS - seems that is no good as my daughters phone on WiFi can cause the ping on my Cat5'd machine to reach 400+.
However on top of this setting up timeframes to block machines or manually blocking them is utterly inconsistent.
Sometimes they are blocked, sometimes not. Often blocking one machine will block another (random!) device on our network.
My Android tablet frequently gets kicked off the WiFi and is not assigned an IP address until the router is rebooted.
I do not expect a fix for any of these issues either - it seems us customers have simply been beta testers for the unfinished, and still entirely buggy OS.
I'm very disappointed in Netgear, I used to swear by their products but this - very expensive - router has single handedly undone everything.
Last Netgear product I purchase - if any admin reads this please just forward my dissatisfaction back to the management.
Regards.

Thanks for the reply.   Sad we spend the big bucks for a router that is supposedly rated “Best”  and can’t even use it properly because the OS on it sucks.      Def will not recommend Netgear, lack of support is disappointing

I have had my XR1000 for a bit over a year now and it has been nothing but trouble.  Looking at switching to another brand.    I keep it current,  on 1.0.0.64_1.0.49 and still issues like:
1. Network slows to a crawl, try to login to the router and  get device not found using the ip address or routerlogin.net
2. Once I am in the router, 80% of the time any tool I try to use, especially Device Manager times out with an error saying:  "This RAPP is not loaded yet please try again in a minute" and no matter how long I wait or try it never loads until I've restarted the router several times ( and YES, I reboot it through the Settings/Administration tool and dont do a cold-hard unplug)
I've seen on several forums/posts where support is saying to do a factory reset!!!   That is a bull$hit answer.    ridiculous to tell people to factory reset and have to re set up their whole network just because Netgear cant put out a quality product or at least fix what they sell!
