Mastersgt21 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Does anyone know or had any experience connecting the XR500 to a fritz box 7530, my current set up is Net gear D7800 as a modem and XR500 but it appears the D7800 is faulty and keeps dropping sync .

OverTheReminds Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I've had XR500 and Fritz 7530 for a bunch of weeks, no problems. The only thing actually is that every now and then I need to clear the browser's cache or it won't let me connect to the router's page, but the fix is really easy, so no big deal.

Mastersgt21 Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share Posted June 6, 2021 Thanks for the reply did you have to change any settings in the fritz box, turning wifi off so it doesn't conflict with the XR500 and when you connected the XR500 to the fritz lan port does the dumaOS software work as it should apart from the minor you mentioned with the browser and any issues with double NAT.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 6, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 6, 2021 If you're going to use the fritzbox I would suggest disabling its WiFi and put the XR WAN IP (found on the System Information page) into the DMZ on the fritzbox and you won't have any double NAT issues.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 12, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 12, 2021 You've done that correctly, does the XR500 show a WAN IP on the System Information page or does it show as disconnected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 12, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 12, 2021 Okay just give the XR a reboot, see if it can grab and IP, so you can then continue with the above setup. If it does work ensure the IP is set to static/reserved on the fritz as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 12, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 12, 2021 Okay great! As you're able to select the XR directly, there is no need to enter and IP address so do that and should be good to go. Make sure to set the static/reserved IP as that could have more of an affect on dropping connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
