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. well ive had it for about 2 weeks now, so id hope its still in warranty haha, ill try to contact them Netduma Liam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, its happen since i got it, just randomly reboots whenever it wants, like for example, it literally just happen after about 23 hours of uptime, defo be contacting support for a RMA Netduma Liam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydens Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 so ive requested a RMA on my current netgear router, and ive just been looking at stuff, i have no idea if this is normal or not but when watching the network logs it looks like thishttps://gyazo.com/b37ea94f063690ec394d804e3319fd05 just wondering if it spiking down to 300kb/s is normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of streaming protocols will do things in bursts so that could be what you're seeing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydens Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share Posted April 23, 2022 Update, I got my RMA last week and I’m glad to say it’s been 5 days and no reboot! really happy I actually decided to RMA, let’s hope this one doesn’t start to have the issue haha, only other thing I’m struggling with at the moment is poor range, I think I enabled a wifi setting on the old xr1000 that made it significantly better, router is quite far away, on the other side of the house actually, but I think I need to just adjust the antennas correctly!

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted April 23, 2022 Administrators Share Posted April 23, 2022 Great to hear it's behaving better for you! Here are a few suggestions for WiFi: Use a WiFi analyzer to find the least congested channel and change to that Ensure it's in an elevated position - not on a metal surface Ensure there aren't any electrical / wireless devices e.g headphones etc within close proxity ~3 feet if possible Set the antennae to this position _ | | _ Change mode for 5GHz to 2400Mbps jaydens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydens Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 So im currectly having an issue with the QoS tab, for about 2 days no matter if i reboot it gives me this error while loading the page, and QoS is literally the ONLY reason i bought this router, and now it just completely stopped working... This actually looks like this router is going the same exact way the old one did, it started giving me errors then after about a week it started rebooting, i swear if this one also starts rebooting.... ill lose my mindhttps://gyazo.com/7ac7d9ef68c76e025152c09b6b87b9f5 This only happens in the QoS tab and it happens instantly when loading the QoS tab It also gives me the same error on the DUMA ios app, and tells me i should restart dumaos immediately RPC error 'ERROR_UNKNOWN': ?:0: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'normprop' (a nil value) -> stack traceback: ?: in function <?:73> ?: in function '?' ?: in function 'normalize_nodes' ?: in function '?' ?: in function 'canonical' ?: in function <?:212> ?: in function <?:382> [C]: in function 'xpcall' ?: in function 'try' ?: in function <?:346> [C]: in function 'run' ?: in function <?:413> [C]: in function 'xpcall' ?: in function 'try' ?: in function <?:263> (tail call): ? ?: in function <?:30> [C]: in function 'xpcall' ?: in main chunk [C]: ? Any ideas on how to fix it would be great. thanks Also my firmware is still 10.58 as im scared to upgrade to 64 as i dont want the router to start rebooting again lol.

When you installed the new router, did it auto-update to the latest firmware? If so, did you factory reset it after it did so? If not, I'd suggest doing so as it may have been quite a large update jump depending on what it had installed before. jaydens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i believe it updated to 10.58 then 10.64 came out a few days later, i didnt upgrade to that yet, should i upgrade then factory reset via the interface? also are there any risks that doing a upgrade then resetting could cause the router to start acting up and breaking its self again?

No, there shouldn't be any risk with upgrading to the latest firmware then factory resetting. However, I asked you this because the upgrade from whatever firmware it shipped with to the one you're on now might've been quite a big jump, so it'd a good idea to factory reset to ensure no errors are carried over from the last firmware. Try this before upgrading to the latest firmware and see if that resolves the issue first. jaydens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive done this, but the netgear app forced me to update the router after factory resetting it, QoS is working again, but it says my PC is offline, and it now seems my cpus are working pretty hard, they used to max around 60, now they are pegged near 80-100 consistently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaydens Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 update, so it seems even though i have QoS enabled and it doesnt matter what i pick on the slider im still spiking in ping, and the old router when having this enabled i would only spike 3-6 ping MAX, but for some reason still spiking 30-40+ ping, no idea why its doing this, ive rebooted it many times yet it still is acting as if QoS is doing nothing, sometimes it randomly actually stops working all together, all devices are uncapped and then i have to reboot for it to then again cap the limit to whatever i set it to, really weird stuff going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you measuring the spike in ping exactly? https://gyazo.com/c72412c3b2540b7671035df1e7d5f801 Pretty sure its DHCP and im measuring via ingame ping, as i play FPS shooters such as CSGO, Valorant etc that are highly dependent on stable ping, even spiking 6 ping will make you stutter, also tested it on ping tests sites and via the dumaos connection test and its super spikey, but thats somewhat normal for me as im on fixed wireless nbn, its more the spikes that are 20+ ms, if it spikes 6 or so every now and then its whatever, but last match i played it was -80-120 every few seconds. -edit and yes i know its set to never, i do that once i stop playing to make sure its not capped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harley Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Forgive me for wandering in to a conversation half way through. A dish on the roof? WHERE is the XR1000? The reason I ask is I remember a situation many years ago where I had a cordless landline phone sat close to a satellite receiver ( with a dish on the roof! ) and they constantly interfered with each other. I had to separate them by some three feet to stop the mess. I notice that you also have a tp-link sat right there too. Is it possible that what is going on here is one or more devices are just interfering with each other? Also I recently discovered that congestion control doesn't seem to work in uploading so I would expect your ping may well be peaking because of upload issues.
