It is not standard practice to name a firmware version, there are too many iterations to do that. Unless I haven't been told which is unlikely then in short, there is no gold firmware, they're either mistaken or have made it up to be honest.

Newfie Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 The link above shows all previous firmware but for security it’s best to keep up to date and make use of new features. Fraser or Liam will soon pop in to help and get you sorted. kinel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 18, 2022 Administrators Share Posted September 18, 2022 As above but the firmware was likely .130 https://kb.netgear.com/000064346/XR500-Firmware-Version-2-3-2-130 On the System Information page, click the icon on the Rapp Panel, set the retries to 5, reboot from the interface, wait 2 minutes then access and see if it loads correctly kinel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 19, 2022 Administrators Share Posted September 19, 2022 You'll need to downgrade then factory reset then re-upgrade and the error should be gone. You can do that yes, but we do recommend doing it from a PC/wired device. Just keep in mind it will disconnect you from WiFi and so if it doesn't appear like it's doing anything you will need to wait a few minutes then reconnect to the WiFi. kinel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinel Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 Ive downgraded to older fw then i factory reset as well The problem is still there no tp it just keepsnot loading I also tried the typing in 5 in the system installed apps still not loading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 19, 2022 Administrators Share Posted September 19, 2022 What web browser/device are you using to access? Is it the Samsung tablet you're using? Do you see the same issue when using a PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 19, 2022 Administrators Share Posted September 19, 2022 Go back to the .114 firmware, factory reset then re-upgrade to the latest without a reset and see if it works please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
