Here in Switzerland, basically every Home has direct 10Gbit Fibre to Home. Some Providers allow to use our own Routers (Init7), some maybe are interested in a co-orperation: Salt, Sunrise, Swisscom, UPC   If you would enable LAN4 Port, which is a 10Gbit SFP+ Port, as WAN, we would all spare us Mediaconverters from Fibre to 10Gbase-T So please consider releasing an alternative Firmware (or general firmware) to select and use LAN4 as WAN Port.   Also consider to contact Swiss Internet Providers, they need good User managable Router Solutons. Market is dim here.   Thanks!!! ... View more

Routers like Ubuiquiti allow devices on main VLAN to initiate connection with devices on IoT VLAN, but protect devices on main VLAN from IoT devices being able to connect to them.    Unfortunately Network Isolation feature in Orbi Routers isolates all devices on VLAN so that no device outside VLAN can connect them. This is too limited and makes the feature of separating IoT devices into a separate IoT VLAN almost useless, because way too often devices on Default VLAN (e.g. Phone or Laptop) need to connect to IoT devices to be able to control them. The only way to achieve this is by disabling Network Isolation feature, which then completely negates the whole security value of IoT VLAN separation.   I am quite disappointed that an Orbi Pro range of routers does not have such a simple firewall rules definition capability. IoT VLAN is presented as a major security feature of the router that on the surface makes sense, but only when used in reality turns out to be totally unusable the way it is currently implemented in Orbi Pro Routers. I really hope a firmware update is released to correct this major flaw. ... 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

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.   ...

We receive weekly email messages about credits that are about to expire or have already expired. However, this does not state which organization or device it concerns. Now it becomes a puzzle every time.   It would be nice to generate a report of all organizations in our portal. For example: I would like to receive every week an overview of all credits from all organizations by email, preferably with the expiration date. ... View more

#PR60X Hello, Currenthy, the  pro router PR60X doesn't have the ability to manage connection trought the access control as the  BR200 or BR500.   Is it possible to implement it because the access control by mac addres is more secure and it easyer to mange it directly from the router? 😎   Best Regards Farrenard   ...

The fan speed is fixed to 4000 RPM, can this be changed to smart as the switch is not installed in a server cabinet. the tempeture is als stable. i think it should ajust itself according toe what the switch needs for cooling. I would like to know if this is possible.   ... View more

WAX214  Firmware Version: V1.0.2.3   This unit displays a blinking amber power light if contact with the DHPC service is lost.  The problem is the power light continues to blink amber even if the DHPC service is restored which means it can indicate the error long after it has gone.  There are many reasons the DHPC service could go down temporarily, for instance a device updating on the network infrastructure, so it would make sense if the Power Indicator returned to the normal green state once connection to the DHCP service is restored.    Additionally it would be helpful if this error could appear in the devices error log. ...

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. ...

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 ...

Is it possible to add an email notification for a switch port state change on Netgear cloud managed switches with insight please?

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

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? ...
