Hello, This is more of a bug finding than an idea. (Netgear Support asked that I post here. Apologies is this is the incorrect spot.) When I recently added the Alexa Netgear skill to my Echo Dot, it added two Netgear devices. The problem was I only own a single Netgear device now, which is registered on my.netgear.com. (I had previously owned the other device and returned it, then removed it from my list of registered devices.) I came to the conclusion that the database that the Alexa Netgear skill uses includes unregistered devices, bringing over ghosts from registrations past. Also, these devices, since they don't actually exist on your network, cause delay problems for users of the Alexa Netgear skill (they did for me), because the phantom devices don't respond. My request is that the Alexa Netgear skill team keep their list of registered devices in sync with those that are in my.netgear.com. This will improve the usability of the skill and reduce device clutter in the Alexa app. Many thanks in advance, Steve

I'm getting notified every single time a device connects and ever single time it scans a device and find NO PROBLEM. There should be a setting to notify ONLY when a problem is found. I'm afraid that if I disable notifications from the app, then I will not know if a problem is ever detected....but sadly that is apparently what I need to do now.

The orbi does not provide wpa2 only security on the main orbi network. This causes issues with older printers. The option for wpa2/3 will not work where a device is unable to negotiate the correct security handshake. The setting needs to be explicitly wpa2 for older printers to work

You have 2 device compatibilities so far, please add M4300 8x-8f (XSM4316S) to the S3300/M4300 firmware pair! https://kb.netgear.com/000049533/Smart-M4300-S3300-Stacking-Notes-and-Restrictions?article=000049533 The link above provides context to the question and idea. Thanks!

The following switch models, currently do not support TLS connectivity for the admin WEBUI, which in this day and age really not acceptable. Models: GS305EPP GS308E (Additionally this switch model does not have a username, you login using just a password). Please can the firmware for the above models be updated to ensure that admin WEBUI access is able to use TLS v1.2 and v1.3 with best practise ciphers.

Hello Netgear people. I need a way to mount you switch using a 4 or 5mm bolt, are there any mounting options beside that little wood screws that are provided? I need a special nut that fits the mounting holes, anyone got any ideas? Brad

Netgear should offer the MR80 with one Satellite. I would spend the extra money for the tri-band if it was a little more expensive than the dual band, and wouldn’t need or use the third satellite.

Bonjour à tous, Je voudrais partager une suggestion pour améliorer le portail captif. Je pense que l'ajout d'une fonctionnalité de personnalisation de la couleur et de la modification de la police d'écriture serait très utile. En permettant aux utilisateurs de personnaliser l'apparence de la page de connexion, nous pourrions offrir une expérience plus personnalisée et professionnelle. De plus, cette fonctionnalité pourrait également aider à renforcer la marque de notre entreprise en permettant aux clients de voir notre logo et nos couleurs d'entreprise chaque fois qu'ils se connectent à notre réseau Wi-Fi. J'espère que cette suggestion sera prise en compte et je suis impatient de voir cette fonctionnalité ajoutée au portail captif netgear Cordialement,

Hi I would like to have the option to completely disable the Wireless Backhaul on the Orbi Pro. We can do so on the WACD and WAX but not on the Orbi Pro. The reason for me is that I see Satellites wired connected to a switch with one uplink to the network where the Orbi Router is on. When that switch need to be restarted you will get a loop as the Satellite will connect via the WiFi Backhaul to the Router as long as the switch boots but at a certain moment the switch is back online and the Satellite is still on the WiFi Backhaul. The result can be that the on switch the uplink port to the network will get disabled by STP. So sometimes when the Satellites are connected over a wire you might want to disable the WiFi Backhaul.

web gui is very confusing and if you dont know netgear much you dont find settings like dns etc quickly. so add a search option (javascript, browserside) which allows to quickly search in an index the setting page.. so searching for "dns" will show me the page where i can set dns settings. also add option to quickly open context in cli on each page, so i can click a button which shows this context part in cli, which can be edited in browser like notepad or sth else. or a small cli popup.

as we all dislike downtimes we need a simple restart if updating to a new firmware. a) just switchover during run if change is quite simple and restart some services b) restart but keep on switching but just do some basic things like vlan etc if this is possible by hardware. means a kind of fallback switching if cpu is restarting, many tasks shouldnt need cpu. c) add an option to restart switch without letting ports go down so server wont notice downtime. so they will just timeout i know these ideas are not really useful, but maybe an inspiration in optimizing the update downtime. also a faster reboot could be nice without all h/w inis. also reboot should be timed on special countdown in minutes or on special time/date setable over html GUI. so it can be planned. also if boot fails it should recover to old fw, for doing so it should force user to login to web gui and say ok worked otherwise it would reboot to old fw

for about a year netgear did not fix community bugs: a) i cant select label Managed Switch so i always have to select Smart Switch. b) i dont want to enter product name everytime as i always suggest for one product only most times. so i prefer a default or dropdown list of reg. products or main lines. c) if i get an error from invalid label i get a flood protection warning if i retry. this is too strict and should not apply on errors which are no flood.

Hello, Would it be possible to add LLDP support in the firmware for 300 Series Plus Switch (GS316EPP) and other models in this serie? The tabletop form factor and high poe-budget makes these switch ideal for me. However I am having trouble with IP phones and AP's that require poe+. My devices check the switch poe/poe+ capability bij LLDP. Now I have to set the poe-settings of my devices manually which is time consuming. Sincerely, Jozef

Hello Netgear engineers, Could you please consider 2 things about firmware KB pages (I'm interested in M4300s but this is general request): 1. Clearly mention Firmware release date, because we cannot rely on Article last modified date. As an example, firmware 12.0.17.10 is having an older date https://kb.netgear.com/000065410/M4300-Firmware-Version-12-0-17-10 than for an older firmware 12.0.17.9 https://kb.netgear.com/000065245/M4300-Firmware-Version-12-0-17-9 or even 12.0.17.7. Time elapsed between 2 firmware release is an indication of whether the firmware seems stable or not. 2. What is the best recommended firmware to use in a series (such as M4300) for Production usage. The latest firmware 3 weeks ago is most probably not the recommended one, and we're kind of lost when seeing 4 firmwares released in a quarter (most probably. can't be sure as no creation date is mentionned), mixing both bug fixes and new features in same time (classically bringing new bugs) FYI, I've raised support ticket 46843940 for the same, been advised to publish here as having also for publicity. Thanks. Regards, Olivier

Please allow for temperature alerts and also custom temperature alerts for Netgear switches. I'd like to be able to have a temperature alert sent to the IT team of an overheating switch while also having an automated email sent to the site manager for their awareness. This feature would be great for Insight-managed switches or any switch for that matter. Temperature alerts are critical and can be a business stopper.
