Router with large dhcp reservation list
I'm looking for a new router. I have one that I've used for several years from another home router vendor but it is no longer meeting my needs. I need a minimum today of about 50 entries in my dhcp address reservations and will likely need far more than that in short order. My existing router only allows 32 entries. I read on another thread here about an Orbi router that took up to 113 entries before what might have been a bug prevented it from saving new entries. I would love to get 113 entries, and the thread went private with the OP and Netgear so I have no way to know if they fixed something and got even beyond 113 entries. I just don't need the mesh router or a high-end router. Are there more basic (less expensive) routers from Netgear that will still allow 50+, or even 100+ address reservations?AC1600/6250 Power Consumption
How much power for AC1600/C6250? DC or AC would help. Not a hard question for Circuits 101. I did get a nice binary answer about fan. TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:19:22 PM): Hi . Thank you for choosing NETGEAR. TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:19:33 PM): My name is Salik. How may I assist you today? Me (3/15/2023, 8:19:51 PM): https://www.netgear.com/support/>[BEFORE YOU BUY]>HOME>CHAT. I am looking at AMAZON: NETGEAR Cable Modem Wi-Fi Router Combo C6250. Right now I have COX cable with internet only, using their modem. It does just what I need, ethernet for FAX and VOIP landline, and WiFi for TV, computer and iPhones. Troubles are: 1) Fan noise, not bad but too much. 2) Too much power. I want longer UPS backup. I cannot find any specs on C6250/AC1600 AC power or description of w/fan or not. What can you tell me about fan and power? TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:22:09 PM): Thank you for mentioning your concern. I will be happy to assist you today. Me (3/15/2023, 8:23:28 PM): Oh, good, Salik. I tried a couple times and got cancelled before I finished typing. So this time I made a text file ahead of time and plopped it in when we connected. --Fred TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:24:10 PM): I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:24:49 PM): There's no such fan installed in this modem router. Me (3/15/2023, 8:24:53 PM): No worries. I have learned how to work in the background 🙂 TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:25:48 PM): So you don't have to worry about this router being noisy. Me (3/15/2023, 8:26:19 PM): That's what I was hoping. How about Watts of AC? TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:27:55 PM): It will have a power adaptor with standard voltage of 120 V. Me (3/15/2023, 8:28:51 PM): Right. And how much power will it want from 120 V? TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:29:51 PM): It will be a nominal one, would be less then your TV power consumption, I may not have the exact figures, but yes it's quite less. TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:30:47 PM): Allow me a moment, let me get back with your question. TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:31:29 PM): It will probably be 12V 2.5A TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:34:54 PM): Are we still connected? Me (3/15/2023, 8:35:41 PM): Let's try something different. Do they tell you about its DC requirements, Volts and milliamps? TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:36:27 PM): You just have to make sure you are using the 12 VDC 2.5A power adapter that NETGEAR supplied for this product. Me (3/15/2023, 8:36:41 PM): You answered that while I was reasking. I take that as 30 Watts DC. Quite a lot, actually hard to believe. TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:37:58 PM): Alright, I believe that you will be connecting most of your devices with this modem router, so this should be fair, but yes your feedback is noted, and will be passed on to the engineering team. Me (3/15/2023, 8:39:32 PM): I hope the engineering team will follow up and answer me. Let me repeat my email addr from the initial form: fjunkb@sbcglobal.net. It shouldn't be a very tough question for them. TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:39:46 PM): Ok, you can also raise your concern at community.netgear.com TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:39:57 PM): Netgear's community platform. TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:40:12 PM): Apart from this, Would there anything else I may help you with? Me (3/15/2023, 8:40:48 PM): NO TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:41:02 PM): Alright. TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:41:09 PM): Once the case is close, you will receive a customer satisfaction survey. I would appreciate it so much if you could please spare a minute of your precious time to rate the service and support I had provided you today. TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:41:16 PM): Thank you for choosing NETGEAR, have a great day ahead. Be safe. Byee!! Me (3/15/2023, 8:42:03 PM): Netgear has not been chosen yet. That's why I began with your "VEFORE YOU BUY" TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:43:13 PM): It will probably be, let me correct myself, Thank you choosing Netgear technical support assistance. TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:43:46 PM): You have a wonderful day ahead. Be safe. Byee!! TCM S (3/15/2023, 8:45:40 PM): I would request you to please disconnect the chat from your end, if you do not have any other queries.Does Triband really make a difference
Like title says. Does a tri-band or even quad band router make a big difference. Especially if you have a 500 gig or less speed. The dual bands are much cheaper. I have a dual band eero and speeds are atrocious. I have played with a Tri band TP Link and the speeds seem to be pretty close even on WiFi speeds to get close to 400.Netgear is not a customer oriented company
I have 15 year old switches thar still work flawlessly. But my most recent experience with Netgear has been an eye opener. I purchased an AC4000 at Sams on February 10th, 2022. It worked until June 21st when it was dead. I checked the PS and the router was dead with the PS beink ok. After finally reaching support they want a credit card to return the router and I paid shipping. Not how you treat a senior citizen who has no use in keeping a broken router. I received a refurbished router which had the 5GHz transceiver go out yesterday and the router can no longer be accessed. So today I am taking the receipt and online case history back to Sams for a refund since I cannot reach Netgear unless I pay money. If Sams doesn't refund the amount, my lawyer is meeting me at the courthouse to file a lawsuit against netgear. This state hss laws on not honoring warranty support and about exchanging a new item with a refurbished item. I will never purchase another item from Netgear.Netgear R6020 as a repeater
I have a Netgear R6300v2 router and would like to extend my wifi coverage with another router working as a wireless repeater, will the Netgear R6020 work as a repeater? I'm not sure if it supports repeating, if it doesn't is there another router that can do the job under $40? I don't want a range extender, I want a repeater set up under the same SSID so it will be seamless.Router Advice
Hi, I currently have one of the latest BT routers and im looking for some advice if anyone on here has any ideas on the issues on having. I am thinking to buy a new router which will be better quality but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on the below. My home network is not really your standard sized home network, from the main router there is roughly 30 connected devices at any given time. We have a CCTV system which is connected to the WiFi and so many of the 3 devices are cameras. We also have 2 wireless AP's each with their own unique SSID. The issue we have is that when everything is connected, the internet can often drop out but when I unplug e.g. the CCTV from the network it stops dropping out completely. I have also thought it often appears to drop out as soon as a device starts being used. E.g. A computer turns on in the house. I've had BT come out and they cant find any issues with the line just to check that. Looking on the router manual a disconnection should cause the light to go orange/pink however when it drops out for us it goes green which the manual says it should do that when its initially starting up. This makes me think the router can't handle all the connected devices and crashes then reboots. Would anyone agree? I have had a look online and I can't find anything such as a "Maximum simultaneous connected device limit", the only thing I can think is maybe the router is poor quality and I'll need to buy a higher spec router? Thanks!Nighthawk router worth it? I will get a modem too
Currently in the market for used modem and routers. I am thinking about getting a night hawk router ac1900 used for cheap under 50 if I can. Then I will probably need a modem too. Now I am pretty ignorant to modem and routers but want something that is good since I am a gamer and plan to use this for a long time. Does it matter what modem and router I buy or can it all be used regardless of the internet providing company? I will be moving into a new place so need internet.Which Netgear router buy?
