Idea Exchange For Business

If NetGear wants Insight to be considered Business Class then we need One-to-One Parity of Device Management between Cloud Managed vs Direct Connect Managed. In my case I need to manage ACLs to allow for MultiCast Traffic which at the moment I can ONLY do with Direct Connect Managed. However, when I switch between the two modes the switch erases ALL settings.   This is DOable its just software. To drive this idea home I find that SonicWALL has both Cloud Manage devices as well! However, they do HAVE One-to-One Parity so that any setting in the Direct Web Management is available in the Cloud Web Management! In addition, If I make a change directly on the SonicWALL device then a background task in the Cloud pickups those Direct changes and they are reflected in the Cloud View.   The value of Insight Portal is much less if I can't manage every seting from the Portal! ...

Is there any plan to create an Android client for the Insight Instant VPN?    As I've stated elsewhere, the OPEN VPN client is not working for my setup.   And appearently, NETGEAR forgot to code the Client to Server IPSec features into the BR500, even through they are listed as a feature.   So at the moment, I cannot access my Business VPN from any of my Android Phones, Tablets, etc.   ...

In the documentation, it says I can setup a "Client to LAN" IPSec connection. But when I try, there is no drop down to allow this.   See the issue here:   https://community.netgear.com/t5/Hardware-VPN-Firewalls-and/BR500-and-IPSec-direct-VPN/m-p/1860822#M10744   ... View more

Insight Models: BR500 5.7.0.4 GC752X 1.0.5.22 GC752XP 1.0.5.22   I have encountered a limitation with Insight that renders use of the Insight service moot. You currently cannot change the PVID assignment of a Trunk port, as Insight defaults tthe PVID assignment to the Managment VLAN once the port is assigned Trunk. This limitation renders the use of virutal servers in a network impossible without disconnecting the switch from Insight and configuring manually. I have spent the better part of two months working with support who has finally verified what my system all but proved - this cannot be done. They have been great to work with, but now I am being told I need to spend more time posting here to have an idea considered. This is a criticle feature that many businesses require. I  This is the only challenge I have encountered with the product and yet, it is almost a show stopper. Two monAfter spending the money on the BR500 and both Insight switches, I fnid myself with only half my system available from the Insight service I paid for. Case # 41789865.  ... View more

Hi, The lack of L3 DHCP Relay on the S3300 switch is quite problematic. We're facing situations where a site is equipped with a router managed by third party. Ideally, we would like to cable the site with only a stack of S3300 switches but since they do not support L3 DHCP Relay, we would also have to include a router or server handling either direct or relayed DHCP.   The S3300 can have a routing table, an L3 address and supports a default gateway.. Could the Netgear team look into adding the support for L3 DHCP Relay as well?   Thanks, Justin ... View more

Hello,   We purchased the BR500 mainly for it's VPN functionality and the offer we got. But we are missing a feature which is crucial for any IT testing company. This is why I'm sending you this request to add the option to setup port forwarding on multiple WAN addresses.   The unit can handle a 255.255.255.248 mask on the WAN side, but there is no way in the Port forwarding to tell the device it should listen beyond it's primary address.   Can you please fix this?   With regards, Wil...   ADI Global Netgear Distributor ...

Good day Netgear,   I would like to suggest a reset option for the Usage menu in the WC9500 (menu Monitor -> Controller -> Usage). We are using the Controller in an event/conference building, it would be handy to reset it before every event/conference.   Also the top 2 graphics show an absurd high volume, the legenda says the counter is in TB, then it shows 700.000M on an AP's 2,4 Ghz channel that's online for 115 days. So that's about 4,23 Million TB per minute on 2,4Ghz?   The Usage counter in the menu Monitor -> Summary (most active clients) and in menu Clients is also a bit off, it says Usage(Kbytes) but it is in Bytes like the help file says, and then also 6 digits behind bytes. Clearly a bit too many digits for nowadays internet if you ask me.   Other than that, the controller is great!   ... View more

I have to mantain 130 accesspoints in a dynamic environment, so have to regurarly change configs in the controller and monitor the accesspoints. It would be great if the default 16 items on page could be configured, because I have to select it every time in every menu to show all. I can understand that in a menu like Clients it's not advisable because of the thousands of clients. But in all the other menus I would prefer to show all by default, or be able to configure that.   List of menus: - Access point -> Managed ap list - Configuration -> RF management -> Advanced -> Tx Power Override - Configuration -> RF management -> Channel Allocation -> Channel Overrride - Configuration -> WLAN Network - Monitor -> Controller -> Access Point     ...
