djhixson88 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 What's weird is, I reserved my address for the traffic prioritization and simply because I didn't want duplicates as you can see in the image. I'm not so much concerned about those as I am about my PC showing offline, I'm actually using it now to type this lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 17, 2022 Administrators Share Posted March 17, 2022 Which router is this on the XR500? You reserved an IP address for the PC in LAN Settings? If so did you give it the IP it already had or another one? If you gave it a different one then reboot the device and then it should appear online correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I reserved an IP Address in LAN Settings and gave it the IP it already had. Regardless I've rebooted daily since I turn it off daily anyway lol. I should note I've had this issue with both .52 and .58. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you shutdown the PC, then remove it from Device Manager, then power it on again? It should then show online as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure so I tried. Edit: I rebooted my PC either way. No change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 17, 2022 Administrators Share Posted March 17, 2022 Could you double check the IP for that device is the same as the IP shown on the PC network settings? If you do a speed test or a download, anything that uses a lot of bandwidth, does it appear online then? Do you use Wake on LAN or put the PC in a standby state?

The IP is the same as the IP shown from ipconfig. It gave it 192.168.1.2. I did that on purpose since it's my main computer. When doing a speed test, it does not appear online I click "shut down" daily. I don't put it in sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djhixson88 Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 Wanted to update, I managed to get it to show up by setting a static IP on my PC side, after I removed the device and removed it from reservation under LAN settings. Didn't even have to reboot, it popped up almost instantly. I set it to a higher number than I ever anticipate being on my network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted to experiment, see if removing the static IP reproduces the issue or not. Otherwise feel free to leave it as is if you don't want to mess around with it any more.

I don't mind experimenting. But at the moment, since this happened I can't port forward anymore. It says the service is already active but the field is completely blank.

djhixson88 Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 So small update, I did a factory reset (for I'm sure the 30th or so time with this router) It let me set my port forwarding rules. So I went and set up everything else (Geo Filter, QOS, LAN Reservation) and went back to the Port Forward Menu and it's gone again just like in the screenshots I included earlier. So I attempted to reenter the rules and once again received the Port conflict with other service error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 19, 2022 Administrators Share Posted March 19, 2022 Interesting so the rule is probably active but not actually showing for some reason, if you clear the browser cache/cookies and refresh the page does it appear? What device/web browser are you using to make the rule? Are you forcing a connection to the interface using HTTPS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djhixson88 Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 To answer all of the above Seems to be working now, after another factory reset I just let it choose the IP like normal and reserved it per normal for my use case. Overall when this router works it works pretty well, but when it starts doing weird stuff, it's super frustrating. I need that IP to stay the same to the core features of this router work. Once it dropped offline the first time I lost my geofilter device and qos traffic prioritization, along with the port forwarding so I immediately had moderate nat. Edit: I'm testing something now, by not renaming my PC this time around. Just to see if it still happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the issues are more on Netgear than you guys. Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djhixson88 Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 @Netduma Fraserwanted to update, it started doing both of the above again (showing my PC offline, removing port forwarding rules previously set). I have an R2 coming tomorrow so I'm hoping this helps, the XR1000 can be an AP for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
