XR700 Laggy and devices missing on network map
HI everyone I have Echolife modem Connected to the XR700, i also have a Netgear Smart switch connected to the XR700 using LAG. Iam using firmware on the router is V1.0.1.24. I have a 62meg connection....
I run two cables because without connection to port two on the modem you can not see the stats so WAN is connected to Port one on the modem and Port two is connected to ethernet 4 on the xr700
I have been using link aggregation between the router and switch not for the speed but to balance the load out. we have alot plugged into the switch which is in our entertainment unit.
the attached shows the switch and port 25/26 are to the router which appears to show the load is indeed being balanced ?
the modem / and switch are now showing on the network map. Only thing missing now is NAS which i can access but doesnt show on the router
If you go here: https://support.aa.net.uk/Router_-_EchoLife_HG612 and look at the option "Access over the LAN1/WAN cable" you can access the interface from the primary connection and then no need for the second cable. What is the NAS connected to, the Switch?
Hi when i went on the fourm https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,24824.0.html it was the only way the XR700 could do it?
The Nas is on Port4 , also the heating stat has now stopped working connected on the router but not showing which is also on ethernet ports direct to the router.
I recon its going to end up with a factory reset Again of the router
- Give it a go, it is a specific guide for the echolife. Connect them both to WiFi and see if they work better then.
