Error Message: Warning: Ther router is failed to connect to NTP server, please check your Internet
Hello,
I am having issues with the Date NS RIMW OD my R7000 NightHawk router. Those are showing incorrectly. I need to schedule router downtime. However, since the router time is showing incorrectl...
Hi Newbie_x
Thank you for your question and happy to help.
For full mDNS support (across VLANs, across switches, etc.) and full IGMPv3 (including our IGMP Plus automating it across switches), you should stay with either the new M4250 series or the M4300 series.
M4250 has a new 12x2.5G + 2x10G SFP+ model called M4250-12M2XF (MSM4214X-100EUS is the ordering SKU number in Europe) that you may consider.
M4300 has a perfect 24x1G + 2x10GBASE-T + 2x10G SFP+ model called M4300-28G (GSM4328S-100NES ordering SKU number in Europe) that you may consider too.
With either of these two models, mDNS Bonjour is guaranteed to work out of the box for seamless mDNS across VLANs, across switches, and with NDI audio-video etc. Same with IGMPv3, default VLAN 1 configuration is pre-configured with IGMP Plus, and you can replicate the VLAN 1 IGMP VLAN configuration (Snopping, Querier, etc.) on any other VLAN. This will work across switches (M4250/M4300 series) automatically as well.
Let us know of any other questions...
I hope this helps,
Suggests something else is amiss.
Note that shadowsports appears to be running older firmware on an R7000. Might be worth trying that.
Your version has been fingered as "problematic" (broken) in other areas. Maybe you have discovered a new defect.
Have you ever done a factory reset? Might be worth trying.
Thanks for your suggestion michaelkenward. I went ahead and did a factory reset of the router in the morning. Then after few short setups the User default NETGEAR NTP server is connected with the corrected time showing. With this update I can schedule downtime preoperly.
Cheers.
That's good.
The factory reset is more a "witchcraft" move than a technically informed solution, but it does seem to fix some problems.
