Configuration
I have just purchased a RAX50-100EUS and downloaded the V1.0.15.128_2.089 firmware. the first problem I found is if I change the router name in device name area of set up it is not carried to intern...
Does this problem happen if you use the routers default 192.168.x IP address pool string?
90.x IP address public subnet pool string would not be valid and not recommended for use on the private LAN side subnet. 10.x, 172.x, or 192.x subnets are spec for home class router private LAN environments.
Hi thanks for quick reply.
I had changed and applied the new 90.90.90.1 IP address. I then had to log back in to the router.
Then I tried to add other devices into the list.
The PC i was using to edit the configuration was automatically added into the top of the list.
When I opened the list and the PC showed with the correct IPADDRESS it correct name in Capital letters (as per in the PC SYSTEM) plus the correct MAC address.
But when I tried to add another device with IP address Name in either upper case or lower case plus the MAC number once added and applied applied, the device was added to the list but instead of Name it had repeated the IP address in the name field. just once I added a device using upper case name it was added correctly in the list so I changed all the names I wanted to upper case but no other device was added correctly. I did not note the version of firmware in the RAX50 when it arrived but after the first attempt I download and installed V1.0.12_2.0.89 and it made no difference so I download and installed V1.0.15.128_2.0.89.
I am not convinced but when I started setting up the device with the delivered firmware I think the software also displaced its on MAC number incorrectly with just the error in the last two characters AD instead of AC both the new versions listed above show the correct MAC numbers in set up. Plus I changed the device name in LAN area applied and when I looked in the Wan are the device name had not changed but when I used the edit button the name I had entered in the LAN area applied but never showed up when replied. I purchased this so it could all be up and running in the house as our NETGEAR D7000 is becoming after many years a bit intermittent and I wanted the family to be happy while i was working away. So I have had to return this before going away as it appears the old D7000 could be more reliable than the RAX50. I am using Windows 10 with all available updates and the latest version of EDGE 123.0.2420.81 Regards Alan
