Can not create a static route to single IP (Orbi 2.0.0.74)
When adding a static route to a single IP it is not applied. I'm trying to block access to certain IP's by adding static routes and directing them to the local interface on the Orbi. I enter the ...
Don't use 10.0.0.1 for the gateway. Use an allocated address on your subnet, like 10.0.0.254. Just make sure that the Orbi's DHCP server can't hand out 10.0.0.254 to any device.
Doesn't work. No matter what you put in other fields, using subnet mask 255.255.255.255 does not work.
My workaround for now is using 255.255.255.252, but it's not a solution as I'm blocking addressess that I don't want to block. I want/need to be able to route a single IP.
- Sounds like a bug.
Does indeed. The built in help even specifically mentions using 255.255.255.255 to route a single IP. :\
Since this is my first netgear box, and only bought it friday, what is best to do? Does netgear support follow the community forums; should I put in a call; or is there some bug report form?- This is mainly a community forum that happens to be run by Netgear. While there are employees that post here, I think your best bet is to contact Netgear through their support channel. Go to support.netgear.com, scroll down towards the bottom and follow the links to contact them.
Good luck. I wouldn't hold your breath on getting a fix in a timely manner.
