Is it possible to include pdf files in the list with files to be indexed as to the content? My scanner converts scanned documents into text by adding an additional layer and it would be great if the content of scanned OCR documents can be included. Furthermore is there a document on how the indexing should work? I have tried to use it a couple of times, but the results where not as expected and I think I am doing something wrong. Last thing as to indexing: when I log into the RN628X I contineous see the message that File search is indexing which does not make sense to me. The changes that occur on my NAS are quite limited and as such I would not expect to see the messaging indexing at all. So I guess my request is more to either explain this feature better (so that I can lower my expecations) or improve it and on top of that include pdf file support. Obvious when a pdf only include images then an indexing option won't add anything, but when it is including text (native or via OCR) including it in the indexing function would be welcomed by me. ...

Please remove the requirement to use the https:// protocol for remote admin aonnectonis to the Orbi, given that there is no way to insall an SSL cert in a router. All this does is to force us to constatnly bypass the browser warnings about an insecure conneciton. Not sure how there could everr be a use for tthis in the first place and for some reason the Orbi Busienss model router seems to be one of the few that don't allow you to choose the prptocol even thouugh you would think the business model would have MORE features and ptions than the home model.  ...

WC7500 controller in mixed environment - private office and public cafe. Each has its own WLAN, and a need has arisen to be able to turn off the public guest WLAN from time to time to discourage table hogging in the cafe, without turning off the private office WLAN as well. I can imagine other scenarios where the ability to turn WLANs on and off independently of each other would be very useful. Could this feature be added to the WC75xx family of controllers? ...

SRR60 - Using the Guest band I am able to set a suitable duration limitations for our active Wifi for visitors. We have a need to set the time duration more incrementally. As it stands, the options are 1,2 and 6 hours. This is not suitable for my environment, and I'm sure many others. For my purposes we need options to limit access to 3, 4 or 5 hours. Could NetGear in its next software revision including all numbers 1 through 12 as choices for Guest login duration or perhaps even make the time manually configurable for up to 48 or 72 hours? I do see this adjustment as something which would Guest access limitations much more useful. Thanks       ... View more

I have a BR500 and purchased the Insight Instant VPN service for it. Overall, the Insight Instant VPN service is nice as I can manage who I let into the VPN and It's an easy way to get into my routers network remotely. While I can get the VPN to work from my home Windows based PC, I also have several Linux machines that I would like to be able to connect to the VPN with. I've already been in contact with support and the conclusion was that this is somehow not supported or they had no settings they could give me to manually configure a connection. I'd be happy with just some settings that I could use to manually configure a connection to the Inisight Instant VPN on Linux (e.g., Protocol, Gateway, etc.). If for some reason there is something that can't be disclosed then a Linux version of the app would be great too. I just want to be able to use the service through my Linux machines. ... View more

Please add Traffic Shaping to the BR500.   Let admins prioritise a specific VLAN and limit or garantee a given amount of bandwidth.   For Example: WAN connection 50Mbps UP/DOWN VLAN1 contains servers VLAN2 contains desktops VLAN3 contains VOIP phones VLAN4 wifi office VLAN5 wifi guests   When Windows Updates are downloaded on the servers each day at rondom moments, users complain that connections to Office365 is slow. Also during the day users complain that VOIP calls are disconnected of audio quality suffers. Sometimes when Guests are using the Wifi, all these problems seem to happen aswell.   Solution: Create a traffic shaping rule for VLAN1: Set the priority to medium and limit the maximum bandwitdh to 30Mbps shared. Create a traffic shaping rule for VLAN2: Set the priority to medium no limits Create a traffic shaping rule for VLAN3: Set the priority to high and set a garanteed bandwitdh of 5Mbps shared. Create a traffic shaping rule for VLAN4: Set the priority to medium no limits Create a traffic shaping rule for VLAN5: Set the prioriy to low and limit the maximum bandwitch to 5Mbps per session.   ...

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. ...

Hi,   This idea is for Access Point WAC 505/510. The product is not in the list. In standalon mode, I can schedule different activation times of the wifi. In Insight Mode, the option disappears and it's impossible to do this.   I can not believe Netgear forgot that. Netgear support and the sales department told me whether or not the POE was enabled on the switch port. It's a joke ?   The scheduling option must be implemented. At the moment, I'm using my WAC505 in standalone mode. ... View more

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

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

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 ...
