Nighthawk R7500 Slow WebUI
Hi All,
I recently purchased "2" Nighthawk x4 R7500 Routers to replace "2" WNDR3700's. I upgraded both of the R7500's with the latest firmware (1.0.0.94), and also performed the h...
Can I ask what the DHCP range of router 1 is set to? This would normally start at 192.168.1.2?
Personally, I set all my static IPs at the end of the DHCP range, e.g. I set DHCP to end at address 99, and then set static IPs at easy to remember numbers – say increments of 10.
It might be worthwhile setting the static IP of Router 2 to a much higher number, using the method that TheEther has suggested (which may also need a factory reset or a static IP at the PC since Router 2 is not configured as a DHCP server).
Matt, I agree that this is, at best, a workaround. I don't really expect it to work by itself. A factory reset is probably needed to unwedge the router UI, in which case you'll need to disconnect the router from everything except one PC to keep anything else from interfering with first time setup. Once you have everything up and running, subsequent logins should work with the router in situ.
Hi The Ether,
I think I may actually prefer to do the factory reset. Given that I am already running the latest firmware (1.0.0.94), and no upgrade is necessary, it may be the best option. Is there a way to backup the current config and reload it after reset? I am guessing 'no' since I have no access to the UI. But, I thought I would ask anyhow.
Thank You,
Matt M.------
