r6400 loses clients
plemans .....Hello. It would appear that my posting about my r6400 losing clients has been taken down?? I wonder why, did I offend someone? It would be nice ot know what triggered this. Oh well, ...
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!
I got the new RAX120 and after about 10 days of configuring and testing I think it is working correctly. With 25+ clients there was a lot of MAC addresses to ALLOW and also fixed address to configure. Of course, I missed some and had to react when someting started failing.
All of that is not a negative. The router is working fine and not dropping clients. WiFi range is equivalent or a bit better the the R6400. And we are ready for WiFi-6.
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. When I logon from the Netgear WiFi network it does not trigger that page/dialogue, but does show the site as "Not Secure". Is there a way to address this?
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.
> [...] Is there a way to address this?
Use HTTPS (https://<whatever>)? If your router doesn't support HTTPS
access to its management web site, then "ignore" and/or "get around"
would be the usual paths.It's common to get complaints from a modern web browser when you use
the router's/extender's management web site, because the browser is
worried about your sending some user credentials over an
unencrypted/insecure link ("http://" instead of "https://"). The easy
thing to do is ignore the warning, and proceed. Presumably, you're
talking to your own gizmo on your own LAN. If someone can overlisten to
that local traffic, then you're already in big trouble.> [...] from the Cisco base network, [...] from the Netgear WiFi network

Anti-virus interference? I'd expect the network segment to make no
actual difference to that complaint, but many other things might.
Some of us know nothing about how "the Cisco base network" is
connected to what on the RAX120. The willingness of the RAX120 to
accept an HTTPS connection might depend on whether you're coming at it
from its LAN side or its WAN/Internet side.
