r6400 loses clients

Question

plemans&nbsp;.....Hello.&nbsp; It would appear that my posting about my r6400 losing clients has been taken down??&nbsp; I wonder why, did I offend someone?&nbsp; It would be nice ot know what triggered this.Oh well, my r6400, evern after the firmware upgrade continues to lose clients.&nbsp; I have thus ordered the&nbsp;NETGEAR Nighthawk 12-Stream AX12 Wi-Fi 6 Router (RAX120) – AX6000.&nbsp; Should arrive this week.&nbsp; Thanks for you time and information in my now&nbsp; lost posting....RDK

Wish I knew why. The mod's are good at giving responses.Hope the new router works well for you. Quite a upgrade from the R6400 to the RAX120!

plemans&nbsp;I got the new RAX120 and after about 10 days of configuring and testing I think it is working correctly.&nbsp; With 25+ clients there was a lot of MAC addresses to ALLOW and also fixed address to configure.&nbsp; Of course, I missed some and had to react when someting started failing.&nbsp;&nbsp;All of that is not a negative.&nbsp; The router is working fine and not dropping clients.&nbsp; WiFi range is equivalent or a bit better the the R6400.&nbsp; And we are ready for WiFi-6.&nbsp;When I logon to it remotely from the Cisco base network, it shows a "This site is not secure" message page which is easy to get around.&nbsp; When I logon from the Netgear WiFi network it does not trigger that page/dialogue, but does show the site as "Not Secure".&nbsp; Is there a way to address this?&nbsp;Anyway, thanks again for allof your help, discussion and recommendations....RDK

Not sure why you get that message coming from a remote cisco network. Might be something to check with cicsco on.&nbsp;

&gt; [...] Is there a way to address this?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Use HTTPS (https://&lt;whatever&gt;)?&nbsp; If your router doesn't support HTTPSaccess to its management web site, then "ignore" and/or "get around"would be the usual paths.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It's common to get complaints from a modern web browser when you usethe router's/extender's management web site, because the browser isworried about your sending some user credentials over anunencrypted/insecure link ("http://" instead of "https://").&nbsp; The easything to do is ignore the warning, and proceed.&nbsp; Presumably, you'retalking to your own gizmo on your own LAN.&nbsp; If someone can overlisten tothat local traffic, then you're already in big trouble.&nbsp;&gt; [...] from the Cisco base network, [...] from the Netgear WiFi network&gt; [...]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; From _what_ on each network?&nbsp; Computer/device?&nbsp; Web browser?Anti-virus interference?&nbsp; I'd expect the network segment to make noactual difference to that complaint, but many other things might.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some of us know nothing about how "the Cisco base network" isconnected to what on the RAX120.&nbsp; The willingness of the RAX120 toaccept an HTTPS connection might depend on whether you're coming at itfrom its LAN side or its WAN/Internet side.
