jaydens Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 So i just bought this router last week, and the only issue im having so far is that every 2 days it just stops working, no internet via wifi, no internet via wired, its very weird, like i was literally using it 20 minutes ago, i go outside come and and boom, no internet, i do the reboot on my phone and it still has no internet, but says i have connected on my phone, then turning the power on and off via the router, it seemed to work. Last time i had to factory reset the router to be able to actually login to the router to change QoS settings due to the password i put in simply not working. I really hope i dont need to go in and reboot my router every 2 days then reset all the passwords etc, im on the newest firmware. cheers

You definitely shouldn't need to factory reset it. Could you perhaps try changing the DHCP pool to start from .50, then reserve IP addresses for each device on the network from .2 to .49? Let me know if that helps with the issue?

Rebooting does make the connection come back, And would you have a topic on how i can find the DHCP pool in the router, had a little look and cant find it, cheers

Thanks, also just notice, now the router seems to randomly be restarting many times a day now, Seems to be rebooting every few hours. Haven't notice a internet cut when using it though. And this is without changing the DHCP yet

Dialatech Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 This issue has been around since march last year on all XR models. DHCP just stops responding and no Ip leases are releasing to devices. Only way to get it back is to restart the router. I have been waiting for this to be fixed since march last year. no joy yet.

I second this. Same problem I had on my xr300. I’ve stopped using it now and I’ve gone back to my isp router which is working perfectly.

Ive done this, and since ive gotten off last night, its rebooted about 6 times in 14 hours... very weird, it was not doing this for the first week i had the router.

If it's rebooting it could be due to power, have you got it plugged into an extender? If so can you plug it directly into a wall outlet and see if it stops? If it doesn't do you have another power adapter with the same voltage you can test in the router?

The sad fact is that even a ISP Router or the 30 pound router im using currently has the one key feature working flawlessly but a 250 pound XR500 or 150 pound XR300 pound router fails in that department. DHCP one of the key features of any router and Netgear just seem to not dont care about there customers.

Are you certain it's rebooting? What is indicating this, the lights on the front?

Yes, as the IP changes and it never says the uptime is past 24 hours, its always 3-4 hours everytime i check -Edit It's just happen again while i was on discord and i checked the router and all the lights went red then turned back on and now it says uptime is Uptime 4 minutes 0 seconds It actually is connected with an extender as it wont reach the power point without it and i cant place it anywhere else due to needing to be connected to the modem

Is it a router/modem combo or is it a pure modem?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 28, 2022 Administrators Posted January 28, 2022 From what I can find it does have wireless is that correct? Have you put the XR in its DMZ and set a static IP for it?
Harley Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 I had this problem happen just once shortly after I bought the XR1000. I actually put it down to me fiddling with the settings and then NOT rebooting the router. I don't know what the admins have to say about this, but ever since that day I have always rebooted the router when changing settings. It's never happened again.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 29, 2022 Administrators Posted January 29, 2022 I'd suggest reupgrading the firmware using the TFTP method, this bypasses the boot process and any issues there then once done do a factory reset for the freshest install possible: https://kb.netgear.com/000059634/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-Windows-TFTP

That usually alleviates errors like this.
