Nighthawk EAX80 (AX6000) Telnet
Hey there, is there any way to enable Telnet or SSH on the WiFi Extender/Access Point? I have multiple problems always with this Extender/Access Point which can only be fixed when I reboot the devic...
1. what firmware version are you on? V1.0.1.70_1.0.2
2. what router did you connect it to? pfSense Router (CE v2.6.0)
3. what method of setup did you use? WPS? or the installation assistant? Installation assistent, normal WiFi Connection (WPA2 Password)
The problem isnt that simple, sometimes the devices says connected but can´t reach the internet.
Some traffic gets lost and can only be fixed via reboot.
have you set a static ip address for it in your pfsense device?
Hey, no i set it up in the Access Point itself, is it better to configure the static IP in the DHCP Server from pfSense?
Not sure as I've never used pfsense. Its just been my experience that when you're getting devices saying "connected, no internet", whatever's handling dhcp/nat, tends to be the issue. sometimes setting the AP/extender with a static ip address from the primary router can help that.
I could figure out the problem/s:
1. The DNS Server wasnt the new one in my network
2. uPnP wasnt active (crashed on pfsense) so the HomePod couldnt connect for some reason.
The problems should be now fixed, but anyway I´m still interested in some SSH/Telnet functionality. is there any Netgear Access Point which still has this feature?
Kind regards,
