I am in the process of setting of this router with all my devices. However, having a big problem with the Amazon Firstick. It shows connected to Wi Fi with problems. It wants to be on the router's channel 1. Any idea as to how I can do that? I am not very technical so trying to learn little by little.Solved2.2KViews0likes2CommentsTransfer Ownership of USED Orbi Router RBR50
I bought a USED Orbi Router RBR50 from Amazon.com US in June 19, 2017 and want to have the product re-registered under my name as the NEW owner to avail of all the support associated with the product. The NetGear database shows my serial number has warranty good until February 2018. The website doesn't allow me to re-register or transfer ownership as it requires the email/password combination associated with the serial number used at the time of first registration. I don't have access to that information as I bought the unit as USED from AMAZON. All I have is a screenshot of my proof of purchase from Amazon which again I couldn't upload as part of the registration process as the serial number is already in the database (as still being owned by the person who purchased it brand new). Appreciate any help guys. Thanks!Orbi AC3000 - Amazon Dash Wand does not see 2.4Ghz network
I have an Orbi AC3000 on FW1.12.0.18. Everything appears stable, with one small issue. Today we purchased an Amazon Dash Wand. This is a small mic device that functions with Amazon Alexa. The wand operates only on a 2.4 Ghz frequency. The wand is not seeing the Orbi SSID? I can’t confirm if this is due to a single SSID for both 2.4 and 5 Ghz network. The Wand App never gets to the network authentication screen with Network Name and Password. Is there a method to confirm the problem and correct the issue?SolvedAmazon Alexa
When I connect my Netgear router to Amazon Alexa Wi-Fi, it tells me that the connection to Amazon-44P 2 has no security and would be easy for a hacker to get access. I have Bitdefender Anti-Virus software and it recommends that I use it's "hotspot" to connect. I activated the "hotspot" within Bitdefender and it shows as being active, but I cannot connect my Amazon Alexa to it. I try to connect it to my Netgear71 wi-fi and I still get warned about the no security. Is there a way I can get the Alexa connected to my Netgear wi-fi?SolvedAmazon Cloud Sync - Bandwidth Utilization Setting
The R9000 Nighthawk X10 comes with a complimentary 6 months Amazon cloud back up subscription. however the settings page on the router UI is massively basic...it only has an option for continous back up of your files to/fro the amazon cloud servers with no way to control how much bandwwidth that feature gobbles up. if you have a fast network and huge bandwidth allowance, you wont notice the effect the feature has on your internet speed my observation is that the R9000 does not prioritise bandwidth allocation and if you have a small internet bandwidth you will wonder why your internet is slow Feature request Netgear, please update the router UI with a bandwidth allocation feature so users can set a limit to how much data bandwidth in percentage % and absolute terms the router can use for the cloud back up10KViews0likes0Comments
