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...
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,
Not sure if the business class products still have it. You'd have to check on the business AP forum for the experts there on it.
I just know its been getting pulled from the consumer devices
So the problem is basically back.
Now I made a debug output via the debug.htm site and found this in the log:
RX packets:1686429 errors:0 dropped:92594 overruns:0 frame:0
there are a lot of dropped RX Packages, and the phones/devices are really slow.
Is there any fix for that?
As my google search showed, that this can couse that problem, but I´m not that familiar with WiFi.
Kind regards
RX is received packages. but it doesn't say if its receiving from the router or from the devices connected to it with what you've included.
that's a bit of key. If its between router/extender then you'd want to check the pfsense box and connection. If its from devices/extender then you'd want to check for wireless interference
