LAN Connection takes a long time
I have two Netgear Nighthawk rs700's, one as the main router and one as the Access Point upstairs at the other end of the house. Yes it is in AP Mode and they are connected via ethernet for better b...
- Yes, I did a bunch of testing and ultimately just cut a new cat6a cable and everything came back up with no issues. From main router 10G LAN to AP WAN. Something must have been wrong with that cable. Idk what could have happened to it. It’s looks just fine but obviously has a short or something wrong with it. I did set the static ip for the Ap but that’s just more so I can find it and sign in.
What FW version is loaded on the RS's?
What CAT# LAN cable are you using? CAT6A STP is recommended.
How is the RS in AP mode configured? Using Dynamic or Static IP address configuration?
Is Access Control or Armor enabled on the host RS in router mode?
Does the RS in AP mode work better if you connect it's WAN port to the bottom LAN Port on the host RS in router mode?
Does same problem happen if you bring the 2nd RS to same room as 1st RS in router mode to test?
