Hy there again 

I was chatting  to a youtuber who uses a nighthawk xr500

They said there using the  newest firmware   gold one

Im confused  about  the gold part

 What  do they mean about the gold firmware

 Is there a special gold fw     do we have to buy it

 Im asking now  because  my   nighthawk xr500  will be delevered in the next few days   so i know what firmware  to install on it hopefuly

Above is all the firmware that has been released. 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.

All i know it was the latest fw at that time ithought it was a brilliant fw

So i just updated  my fw a few days ago to the latest fw  from a manual download  fw 2.3.2.134

But im having issues with the fw  my tp  taffic priortization isnt woring it wont load on gui it keeps pinning  /loading

Ive tried it with 4 difrent devices and factory reset after fw up date and rebooted loads of time

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 :menu 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

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.
