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. ...

Hello, the DHCP server is a bit "basic". Would it be possible to integrate some Options in the BR500 router and be able to manage them in the Insight portal. This would be a great advantage to maintain small sites with SIP phones. Option 2 (Time Zone Offset) Option 4 (Time Server) Option 60 (vendor ID) Option 66 (TFTP or HTTP server in stringvalue) Option 114 (URL) Option 120 (P-CSCF address) Thank You, Edouard ... View more

Hi folks I’d like to request an addition to the engage controller. Since lots of us are deploying these switches on fibre runs it would be great to get a read out of received optical power in the engage controller - basically the same stuff you get from “show fiber-ports optics all” in the CLI, without having to ssh into each switch to get it. It’d be neat if it also had a red/amber/green display to quickly spot bad links. Thank you! ... 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

Netgear Insight, although I think targeted toward businesses, does not support compliant WPA2 Enterprise.  It forces TKIP+AES mixed mode.  It is impossible to enforce WPA2 Enterprise on an Insight managed device.  The devices are capable, but you have to unmanage a device and set CCMP-AES manually on the local interface, and that AP can never be managed by Insight, or it will change the encryption from AES back to TKIP+AES mixed mode. ...

When I bought this business class mesh system about a year back (1 router and 2 satellites), tech support stated that the product being a business producr does not have a built in firewall and I should procure an external firewall. A year back tech support stated that vlan segmentation and vlan to ssid mapping would be coming in a later release. At this point indeed the feature came in a later release of hardware in AX6000. I was talking to tech support today again as I purchased a decent hardware firewall and I would like to have the same vlan feature Iin the AX6000) of vlan 1,10,20 and 30 married to SSID with trunking available on the AC3000 as this should be basic network fiormware/software update and has nothing to do with wifi6 which may demand a new chipset. In the very least I need to segment the IOT stuff from business traffic. Can you please integrate proper vlan/ssid mapping into the AC3000 (SRR60). The way this should work is a user joins SSID Wireless 1 and should be part of the corresponding VLAN/Subnet and the AC3000 would run in AP mode and trunk (80-2.1q) the vlans via the WAN port to the Firewall which provides the IP routing, dhcp and all other services. I am not looking for wifi-6. ... View more

I recommend that Netgear allow the Orbi Pro models to the ability to disable wifi radios at user's option for the following reasons:   Simple update for Netgear/Orbi - Currently, Orbi software allows wifi radio strength choices of 100%, 50%, 25%...they should add an option for 0%/Off.  It woudn't cost Netgear anything to provide the 0%/Off option as it only requires a modification to an existing field. It provides the User the option/choice rather than Netgear/Orbi making the choice for the user.  Netgear/Orbi should place security as one of their highest priorities, and providing this option would reflect that as ethernet-only wired systems are generlly more secure than wifi.  Netgeat provides this option on almost all of their other routers, so why not provide consistency and allow this as an option and give the user the same flexibility as other competing routers such as TP-Link, Linksys, and Asus. Consequently, I don't understand the resistance to doing so as it's an easy fix, increases security, and provides users the same option they have with other competing routers. Since you already provide an option for radio strength down to 25%, why not add an addtional selection for 0%/Off? Some users only use wifi occaisionally or alternatively would like to occaisoinaly diable wifi for security and/or interference reasons, and such an option would allow users to so turn it on when needed, and off when not needed. Wifi is not as secure in dense city areas and sometimes creates interference with other devices/systems, thus it would be prudent to allow the user to have the option to disable the wifi radios when needed...just give the user the choice. ...

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.       ...

Seems like we only have an all or nothing choice: "Allow IoT devices to see each other and access my local network" If I allow this then the whole purpose of the seperate SSID for IoT is lost. I want the IoT devices to see each other, but NOT access my local network. Specifically I have a Hubitat hub which needs to talk to two Android tablets, two Konnected boards and some TVs. They are all on the same SSID, and I would like them to stay removed from my local network.  Seems the newer WiFi 6 router allows this to be configured via VLAN. Personally I'd prefer a method whereby access levels could be granted on a device by device basis.   Thank you ... 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
