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 ...

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 ...

It would be really useful to be able to configure DHCP Snooping features within the web or mobile interfaces. Certain scenarios involving DHCP just make using managed mode impossible. ... View more

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

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

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. ...

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     ...

Hello, I am just starting to work with the AV Line switches. I use them in a concert hall. There is an administrator and many users running the shows. For this, from my point of view, there needs to be some kind of user management. On the one hand, of course, the administrator with full access, but on the other hand, another account for status monitoring and assigning ports to VLANs, if that is necessary for a show. A user management with rights management would be perfect for this. Is such a feature already planned?   ... View more

I'm actually using an SRX 5308 router, which is tagged as EoL product. As there is no replacement for this router in Netgear catalog, I was wondering if a minimal firmware update implmenting TLS 1.2 (which is the minimum request for modern browsers) would be possible. So we could continue using the router and, first of all, connecting to managmenet interface via browser. Thanks in advance Luciano ... 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.   ...

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 had opened a ticket asking for the ability to trunk multiple vlans out a single port to allow easier management of devices on each vlan, this seems like its not possible today, the alternative to this request is to just install SSH on the router.  With SSH enabled on the router I can create dynamic tunnels through the router to the other networks without even needing to make any port changes.   I am actually shocked that the orbi only supports Telnet, there is no reason in 2022 that the only CLI management is Telnet.  Dropbear is already installed on the device, we should be allowed to choose SSH or telnet.       ...

Currently (and historically) Netgear does not always show all connected devices. This leads to a loss of user confidence in the web interface and app's ability to reflect the current state. Example- my currently connected NAS is not listed in the Attached Devices even though I previously reserved an IP address for it under Advanced -> LAN Setup. (The NAS indeed is using this reserved address.) The NAS is a wired and active connection but is only visible under Advanced->Access Control-> "View list of allowed devices not currently connected to the network". Notes- 1) other active devices are also listed as inactive. 2) normally Access Control is not implemented - this is the only visibility to devices known to be active. Use case- provide more aggressive active device polling. ... 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? ...
