The GS110TP supports only a max SSL key length of 2048 bits. This is a real problem for modern PKI infrastructures where - at least - the CAs almost always use a 4096 bit key length.   Given that the GS110TP is still sold today I hope hat this could be corrected in a (near) future firmware update. ...

The BR500 comes only with Port Forwarding.  It needs a 1:1 NAT feature similar to the FVS338 firewall device.  Port forwarding is not a viable solution since my business deals with static public IP addresses that need a hard 1:1 assignment to an internal NATed address assigned to a server (e.g., Exchange Server, IIS, etc.).  The FVS338 feature/facility worked great - just copy it into the BR500. ...

Hi   I'm aware of the previous discusions/sugestions here about adding the ability to specify a managemet vlan on ProSAFE Plus lineup (e.g.GS108Ev3). While there are good alternatives higher up the line that do support this (GS108Ev3->GS108Tv2) I dont see a similar aternative for GS105PE - a-5 port passthrough POE switch. It would really be appreciated if this feature could be added to GS105PE. I think it would make the switch so much better. It does almost everything needed for this type of device - just lacking the management vlan.   Thanks,   Sasha ... View more

I would like to request the addition of a 48 port switch to your insight cloud switch lineup.  We currently have the 28 port switch in our school district which is great but a 48 port would better meed the needs of education environments.   ... View more

Please consider using HTTPS for the web management of the GS1xxE line of switches. Especially the smaller models need a secure way to configure them as there are no real replacements for in-field deployments outside special technical rooms where is no room to fit an entire rack into...   As the current state of security of many of the embedded or IoT thingis is sub-optimal it is crucial to prevent login credential sniffing via other pOwnd network devices within the same subnet.   Thanks, Stefan Seide ...

These Plus switch web interface can only be accessed from the default VLAN 1. This is restrictive. Could a future firmware include the ablility to access the web interface from all defined VLAN's on the switch and not only VLAN 1. ... View more

Hello to anyone taking the time to read this.   I have close to a dozen netgear GS1xxE switches at my home and various family member's homes by now and swear by the things. Vlan tagging is a must for our various setups and these switches haven't disapointed yet.   However , when it comes to configuring them, the fact one is incapable of selecting the vlan on which the things do their DHCP negotiating forces me to use fixed IP's.   In essence this isn't all that bad. But adding this to the firmware isn't something unreasonable to ask I would think.      http://i.imgur.com/JZEvBx4.png http://i.imgur.com/p9evrYY.png   Thanks in advance for taking the time to reply. If you also think this slight oversight should be rectified please do reply. ... View more

It would be very usefull to be able to reboot online from the interface especially when remotely managing. Being able to change the wifi power would be great too but this is more complex Hopefully in a future firmware Thanks ... View more

I would like to request a "Disable auto-firmware update" option/button be added to the Netgear Orbi Pro SRK 60 Business wi-fi system. As a system admin for a company that should be a standard option on any business networking equipment to avoid unexpected downtimes from a potentially  buggy firmware update that auto installs on the router and takes down the network/internet connection. This a standard feature on almost all residential wi-fi systems and the 1st commericial or residential wireless router I have ever deployed that did not have that basic feature.   Thank you ...

Hello:   The GS105PE switch is a great idea and potential problem solver.  Unfortunately, due to one design flaw, it is only "almost" useful.   There are a few different switches that support PoE Passthrough on a single port.  What makes this switch so awesome is that it has two ports.  With an 802.3at (PoE+) feed, there is enough power to power two devices of common PoE types (for example, two PoE telephones).    Of course, with this its also potentially possible to plug in two devices that use too much power and end up overloading the feed port.  Fortunately, MOST poe devices out there do not have this problem.   Unfortunately, this switch is hamstrung by a design choice: the overload problem is solved by PoE class limitations rather than actual current limits.  In order to use both ports, you have to plug in class 1/2 devices, if you have even one class0 or class3 device, then you only get one.  Period.  Even if that device only wants 2.5w.   This is a more extreme problem than it appears because most PoE PE chip makers have switched to only making class 3 chips.  Thus most devices advertise class 3, even if they only need class 2.  Except for this switch, this is no issue, as normal PoE switches regulate by combined power, not class.  That's why I can get an 8 port 60W PoE switch that supports class 3.  At full class 3, that allows nearly 13 watts per port, or 104W for all 8 ports.   It appears Netgear used this worst-case design method when designing this device.  Please correct this huge oversight and just use power limiting rather than class-based limiting.  It would be fine to shut off the port output and flash the power light if the total available budget is exceeded.  Without that, this becomes a single-port PoE passthrough, not the two port its advertised as.   Jim Kusznir Palouse Technology Services (who is now returning 3 of these devices just purchased, as they are useless as currently implemented) ...

Dear Netgear(community) As of right now VLAN is unfortunately not supported by the Orbi Pro. For two reason I think a device aimed at SMB's and marketed as PRO should offer this. 1) My Provider (TM Malaysia, Unify) requires VLAN Tagging on my WAN Port. e.g. vlan.500 for Internet PPPoE (other VLAN ID's for IPTV, etc. but that's irrelevant to me). Right now I am forced to use a managed switch as a workaround. A hassle I would like to avoid. 2) To my understanding right now my 3 Networks (Admin, Employee, and Guest) are isolated on MAC level. This is too much of an insecurity as a common address space is shared. Looking forward to you recognizing the necessity of upgrading your system to match requirements of the very SMB's you are currently marketing your device at. To support that this is not just a request of relevance to myself, I would greatly appreciate if others affected by it would just hook on! Best Regards Ben   ... View more

I have read on the other forums that with the Orbi Home, people have been able to register more than 3 orbi sattelites. We will need 4 at our small business. Does anyone know what will happen when I try and register the 4th satellite? All will be using ethernet backhaul. If this is not supported, Netgear really needs to allow more than 3 sattelites. Especially when they are all using ethernet backhaul. ... View more
