Nighthawk CAX80 DNS and static IP issue.
Hi, Here are the issues I have seen on CAX80. Fist Issue: I removed all the IP from the DNS. I found out that I was able to access internet without any issue. I wanted to block random IP and the ...
Not sure what you mean by you removed all IP from the DNS settings.
In terms of static ip address, have you used reserved IP address?
Thanks for following up 🙂
When I applied Primary DNS (for example X.X.X.X) from the Linux box. The Linux box sorts the IP with the blacklist.
Linux Box has 8.8.8.8. - I have internet through the google and its sorted out to X.X.X.X IP and that IP I have put on Primary DNS.
When I remove 8.8.8.8 means to empty then I should not have any internet to pass through the modem.
--- Apply these changes works fine with c7000 modem. But on this CAX80 - The internet gets connected through. This is a problem because allowing internet out from the CAX80 is not acceptable. I reached out to netgear chat team and they asked me to reach to internet provider and they are referring back to the netgear.
I am in a loop of netgear and spectrum with no solution.
