I've just added a GS108Ev3 to my network with existing GS116Ev2 and GS105Ev2. I am very disappointed to see that the 108 does not support a port description field which is present in the 116 and 105. Can this be added please?   GS108Ev3 Firmware V2.06.17GR   see also https://community.netgear.com/t5/Idea-Exchange-For-Business/Add-Port-descripton-to-GS105Ev2-in-GS116Ev2-it-is-present/idi-p/2009767 ...

Hi,   In France, we must be able to provide our internet wifi logs for 1 year. With or Without captive portal. I know we can do it with captiv portal (web history). But actually we can not do it  if we don't use captive portal. I can find in the management interface of wifi access point WAXxxx the possibility to activate "url tracking" but logs doesn't stay for a long time and we need to connect to each wifi access point to find and download them. We know we can do it with snmp too but custommers will need a new system to manage it. It coudl be very useful to have the possibility to activate url tracking from insight. By this way we could have the possibility to generate the web history (internet logs) for all access points/devices/SSID without captive portal. Captiv portal is not ergonomic for inside machine and users.   Thanks in advanced fir your reply       ... View more

It would be immensely helpful to be able to add/edit names of client devices. It would be heck of a lot easy to figure out what each device is... Should be whatever system gets by default and then allowing user to edit, so I can name something like "Printer by Coffee machine" ... View more

It would be helpful if the SRK80 router supported defining firewall rules between VLANs. This would enable administrators to allow limited access to devices in other VLANs, more precisely than "Network Isolation" on (completely closed) or off (completely open).   A common use case of this feature would be to place IoT devices such as Chromecasts on an IoT VLAN and allow personal devices such as smartphones to control these IoT devices from a personal VLAN, withouth allowing IoT devices to access the personal VLAN. An example of this use-case is illustrated in OpenWRT which is already what the Orbi Pro Wifi 6 firmware is based on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvniZs8q3eU&t=310s ... View more

Would be nice to have easier and better way for PoE Schedule on this switch. In firmware 1.0.1.6 there is slider that's not working so great, and you can set up only once per day turning on and off. Would be better to have more choice. I like how Ubiquiti has managed this. You can enter time manualy or use slider, and can enter unlimited number per each day.     Hope to have this option on Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch (MS108EUP) as well.     Thanks ... View more

Hello,   We use insight pro and have onboarded quite a few clients.  Since every device we onboard comes with a 1 year device credit, we tend to have credits expiring almost every month.  We also have monthly billing enabled.     The issue is that there is a large banner warning about device credit expiration in both the web and mobile apps.  Since we have monthly billing enabled, it would be great to be able to hide or remove this banner since it confuses our techs and takes up a lot of space (especially in the mobile app).     We are basically stuck with this banner most months.   Thanks, Jason ...

Given that your entire product line of ProSafe Smart switches only supports up to TLS 1.0, I'd like to suggest that you start working on making TLS 1.3 available.   Especially, since TLS 1.2 has been around since 2008 and you should really be embarassed that your business line of switches only support insecure communication methods.   ...

Please implement tag based vlan functionality on the internal switch of the Orbi Pro router/satellites. The product is meant for 'Pros'...so this should be no deal. When using a Netgear switch behind the Orbi Pro it would be a great benefit for the 'Pro Users' to be able to utilize tag based VLAN ports on the Orbi. Currently, different VLANs being configured on one switch can not be mapped to the Orbi router due to the fact that one port on the router can only belong to one VLAN at a time. A proper VLAN membership configuration and PVID configuration per port is needed.   Addition: The term 'Trunk' port is used differently on the Orbi Pro than it it used on the Netgear switches, which can be (and is) confusing. ...

So I recently bought an Netgear WAX206 through the Amazon Canada store, but the wireless controls are region locked to United States with no option for me to change this. I understand the reasoning that you want to make it easier for the customer and potentially not break any laws by broadcasting out of range wireless signals, but this is poor design.   I don't know what steps can be done now to unlock the region setting so I can select Canada. It also causes a problem for resale as well. Can you please resolve this issue.     Thanks! ... View more

I own an XS724EM 24-port 10G switch. It runs warm to the touch, and the default fan profile seems to err on the side of low noise rather than cooling. Tech support says that the switch is designed to spin down fans entirely unless a certain temperature threshold is reached.   Personally, I would prefer to see more aggressive cooling, even if meant slightly more fan noise. So my feature request is twofold:   Basic temperature monitoring (ambient, internal) in the admin GUI. All I want is a simple readout of how warm the switch currently thinks it is. Basic manual fan control in the admin GUI. I'm envisioning something like the "Cool/Balanced/Quiet" drop-down menu (see image) found on ReadyNAS units. I know the managed switches have functionality along these lines. To me, this basic temperature monitoring and control seems like it should definitely be included on Smart/Plus switches too. ...

The GS105E v2 (5 port) and GS116E v2 (16 port) switches have the ability to disable Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) in the web interface via: System > Management > Power Saving Mode, Enable/Disable   This option is missing from the GS108E v3 (8 port) switch.   Can this be addressed in a future firmware update? ...

Is it possible to add an email notification for a switch port state change on Netgear cloud managed switches with insight please? Looks like Cisco Meraki can do this and it would be great to know if someone is connecting or disconnecting devices to the switch or if a LAN host has gone offline. Many thanks in advance Joe ...

When building a guest network in Insight, it's important to be able to rate limit throughput per client so that no one client can consume all available bandwidth on that SSID/vLan.     It can be accomplished via QoS on the APs themselves, but Inisght will not recognize those configs and the config change wouldn't be replicated to other APs.  Additionally, the QoS config may be destroyed by Inisght upon config updates.   Instructions for configuring QoS at the AP level: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Business-Wireless/How-do-I-limit-bandwidth-per-device-on-a-WAC730/m-p/1767103     ...
