RAXE500 no longer get attack warnings
I've never been so unhappy after purchasing a router as I have been with this RAXE500. But I'll have to live with it now that I've spent the $600 to get it! Yesterday I upgraded the firmware fro...
michaelkenward Netgear have changed the attack logging so I apologise as I was surprised its so different, but it is the way its meant to be now on The RAXE500 as you guessed.
I was given this reply via Netgear. "Engineering comments: Understood and we changed the DoS attack determination rules since there are a lot of false alarms in previous version. It’s the enhancement in v1.2.13.100.
I don’t think it is an issue."Also there is a trial version to cure option 60-61 missing but users with that issue would need to contact Netgear.

I have decided to stay with version 1.2.13.100 for a while just to see how long it take Netgear to fix the two issues I'm seeing (not logging attacks and 6G devices not showing).
Which issue is that?
The one about "not logging attacks" is not an "issue". The problem was that it logged attacks that weren't real. So, that is a fixed issue for many people. Are you saying that you want to see those false reports?
As to 6 GHz devices, what is the issue there? Are they connected and not visible? Or can you see them and they don't say "6 GHz"?
The logging issue is a problem. I know Netgear logs are so paranoid its untrue but now there are none whatsoever, I did a port scan of the router and that should show up in the logs and it did not, so the logging for known attacks is not functioning at all. That's not a fix thats a bug, if you dont want to see the attack logs you can turn them off, but on this firmware those logs are not happening at all, and port scanning happens to all routers every day, so seeing nothing at all is wrong.
Also what happened to DHCP option 60-61 users, that was said to be missing but when searched for its been removed, Google found that post but its not here in the forums, so did Netgear mess up on option 60-61or did the unit need a factory reset for those users? 6Ghz devices should show up as they did in previous firmware not as symbols, so there are GUI bugs in this router, they have changed the GUI for logging window in the GUI, well at least on Firefox. I saw the attack logs vanish on one firmware of the RAX120, its not Netgear have fixed them, its they are just not showing which in itself is not a major issue but if users want to see the logs then this firmware has messed that up. Also some but not all users were having 6E issues, so not sure whats fixed whats broken and whats mended at this time with this firmware.
