Nighthawk RS700 tip

This is a nice little hidden menu that works for the newest WiFi 7 router and most of their other routers and Orbi’s, and makes help a lot with troubleshooting.

Type in your router’s IP address with this added at the end; example 192.168.1.1:debug.htm. Then enter admin and your password to login.

Once logged in, you’ll be able to view CPU load levels, RAM used, etc., along with various packet capture and other diagnostic tools. Just thought everyone would like this.

  • debug.htm has been around for years on many different generations routers. It's not new and is known by a lot of NETGEAR users.

      Ag, but many more users, especially newbies, won’t know it at all as its not actually documented in any of the product manuals or FAQ’s.
