Since factory resetting, have you re-configured the reserved IPs as you did previously? If not, could you please do that. Out of interest, what's the make and model of your ISP modem? Is it a modem/router (Wi-Fi) or is it a pure modem? If it's a modem/router, could you please try temporarily switching the XR1000 to AP mode from the Network settings and see if the problem persists?

I did not re-configure the reserved IP, also its a pure modem, its connected to the wall and then is connected to the dish on the roof, i cant find any info about what it is besides this photo, also the modem did come with a telstra smart modem and im pretty sure thats a router/modem, it never turned off/rebooted Telstra Smart Modem Gen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted February 13, 2022 Administrators Share Posted February 13, 2022 So use the Telstra modem and then connect the XR to that so the XR gets internet from the Telstra and see if it makes a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydens Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 Ive now been PUSHED OVER THE LIMIT, ive simply accepted that the router is turning off, but i just LOST A 12000$ MATCH DUE TO THE ROUTER TURNING OFF 3 TIMES IN 1 MATCH, i can NOT believe what just happen, im actually so f$%king outraged right now, I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY ITS DOING THIS? IVE DONE EVERYTHIING TO FIX THIS BLOODY THING, YET IT KEEPS JUST TURNING OFF WHENEVER IT WANTS! i simply CAN NOT believe what has just happen to me due to this router Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydens Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 This router has just ruined everything ive worked for over the past 6 months, i can not fucking believe what has just happen whenever WHATEVER the hell happens, everyones internet is simply GONE, because the router is fully just REBOOTING like its just been turned off and on, i check and the top of the router is red and then it starts booting up, this takes 5 minutes each time it happens, and the reboot happens RANDOMLY, but NEVER lasts over 2 days without rebooting, the max ive seen is 2 days 21 hours, then other times it can reboot 3 times in ONE HOUR! like it has JUST done to me, at an extremally important time, for N O R E A S O N, im honestly thinking of getting a refund, because after what JUST happen, there is simply no way i could ever respect this router again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're seeing issues with Double NAT, you may need to put the WAN IP of the XR1000 in the Telstra DMZ. Let us know if you're still having issues after this.

I tried this but i do get any internet through either the modem at that point, i think it just breaks it, if i only plug in the telstra box it works, if i only plug in the xr1000 it works, but both plugged in it just spazzes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your setup should look like this: Modem LAN port -> Telstra WAN Telstra LAN -> XR WAN XR LAN -> Connected devices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 3, 2022 Administrators Share Posted March 3, 2022 Keep it in that configuration then reboot the modem, wait 2 minutes, then reboot the Telstra, wait 2 minutes then reboot the XR wait 2 minutes and see if you get internet.

Sometimes the order in which they are booted matters Tried this last night and it doesnt give NAT on both, i dont think the telstra modem acts as an actual modem, so it just thinks im plugging in 2 routers. Ive now tried to plug the XR1000 directly into the wall socket instead of a very short extender, took alot of moving stuff around to get me to plug it into the wall, so lets hope this works -Edit, plugging into the socket did NOT work... just rebooted again for no reason, so it lasted about 6 hours before deciding to reboot, is there a way i can log what happens JUST before it decides to do whatever the hell its doing?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 5, 2022 Administrators Share Posted March 5, 2022 What do you mean by it's not giving NAT on both? Do you have another power adapter with the same voltage that you can use instead to rule out a faulty adapter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update, it 100% is not a power issue, as ive tested it on 3 sockets and it still reboots randomly, ive also done the reinstall of the firmware, we have tried using 2 routers at once, we have tried factory resetting, what else is there? im so lost as of why the router is doing this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still suggest trying setting the XR1000 to AP mode so we can see if it's something in DumaOS that's causing the disconnections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the telstra modem has actually decided to stop working, i got no idea why but it wont power on at all, i read online apparently this is common with the gen 2 and is actually bricked, so i guess i cant try to use that, what else can we do?

OK, I'd suggest reaching out to your ISP to see if you can get that resolved. That would be the next logical troubleshooting step to identify where the problem lies. Otherwise you could also reach out to NETGEAR support at support.netgear.com, depending on where you are in your warranty period you may be able to request an RMA, but I'm not sure on that.

oRaGaMi Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Sounds like the modem was faulty or became faulty either way sounds like a power issue. Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
