WAC510 sends packets to Port UDP 7788
Hi comminuty,
just discovered that my WAC510s are sending to 192.168.1.1:7788 UDP via eth0.
Port 7788 is not authorized to be used by IANA.
Can anyone please clarify?
Firmware V4.0.7.3
10.10.101.43 is WAC510, getting response from gateway 10.10.100.80.
Firmware V1.2.1.6 send same packets, but 14 data bytes instead of 36. Is it NETGEAR related?
Thanks and best regards.
Hi star0815

Hi star0815,
Let us try to upgrade the firmware to the latest version which is v4.2.0.9. You can download it here. Be sure to perform a factory reset on the WAC510 after upgrading the firmware then reconfigure the settings from scratch in order to start clean using the latest firmware version. Then, check if same concern will occur.

- Can you confirm your WAC510 is managing with Insight Manager App? or Is it standalone mode?
Hi DaneA,
have upgraded to latest firmware and performed a factory reset afterwards, then configured only neccesary settings (IP, password).
While no SSID is configured (or Day Zero configured one) no packets (7788/udp) are send out over eth0.
Packets are only sent when there is a configured SSID and clients are connected.
Will try some SSID-specific settings, but this config is used so far (default settings omitted):
IP LAN static (IP, Subnet, Gateway, DNS1+2)
NTP client=on, custom NTP server by hostname (and it is reachable)
Management mode=local (standalone)
UPnP=off
SSID "Guest":
Client Isolation=on
Band Steering=on
VLAN ID=99
802.11w (PMF)=on
One more thing: device is trying to query public NTP servers regardless of setting "use custom NTP server".
Best regards.
