realtime bandwidth monitoring by device
It would be great if you could see realtime bandwidth per device for the netgear r7000, similar to Google Wifi and Eero. It would be a really useful info and diagnostic tool to see what devices are currently taking up bandwidth. It would be great if this was added to the router web administration page as well theNetgear Genie and/or Netgear Up apps. I've attached a screenshot of how this feature looks on Google Wifi.27KViews94likes15CommentsBring back the ERASE button KB Articles
The following KB Articles had been working and were very valuable for user troubleshooting and also offers easier way to factory reset NETGEAR Nighthawk and Orbi systems: https://kb.netgear.com/24233/How-do-I-erase-the-configuration-settings-on-my-Nighthawk-router https://kb.netgear.com/000062081/How-do-I-erase-the-configuration-settings-on-my-Orbi-WiFi-System These two KB articles have been removed for unknown reasons. We would like to see them returned to public review and use as they are handy to have and point users too and does provide a alternative way to factory reset NETGEAR routers and MESH systems. Handy in that for MESH systems, it avoids having a user to manually walk around, find and manually press the reset button on satellites that are deployed. Using the ERASE button triggers a factory reset routine on both deployed satellites and the main router unit. Please bring this two KB articles back for public use. I would recommend updating them to reflect how the factory reset process works for MESH systems.71Views0likes0CommentsCU-Ball
I'm a Conceptual Designer and have been working on a full range of integrated products for Home Networking Systems that may be of great interest to NETGEAR & Major Cable Providers. This system greatly reduces ‘back of TV wiring’, support calls and DIY install time and frustration. The current range of products include: Power Supply Cable Modem Set Top Box WiFi 7 Router DVR - eSata Battery Backup - UPS (Dependent on capacity, this maybe simply a battery backed alarm and status module, optionally wired to a hidden larger, 3rd party unit.) Blu-Ray DVD Streaming Box Connected Speakers Bluetooth Speakers Home Automation (Displays on TV). Home Security Service (Displays on TV) Jump Drive Interface Voice Remote Control Charging Station Smartphone / App Integration Totally new design concept. There is a long term upgrade path that ensures that new technology can be incorporated for years to come. There is a backward compatibility that allows mix and matching with legacy products There are two physical variations at price points that allow for marketing differentiation. (Perhaps Branded Elite and White Box OEM) The questions are: What am I missing? What is the best approach to pitch this range ? 1/ NETGEAR 2/ Charter / Comcast etc... as they may provide the basic units on subscription? 3/ Other.. Please specify. As this range is pre-patent, more in depth discussions maybe subject to NDA.507Views0likes0CommentsAdd Spectrum Analyzer tab to User Interface of CM3000 cable modem
Hello, I recently upgraded from a Motorola MB8600 cable modem to a Netgear CM3000. The Netgear seems like a great modem, however, one thing I really miss is the spectrum analyzer tool for troubleshooting upstream RF problems. I heard that the spectrum analyzer is available on the CM3000 if you use port 8080 (192.168.100.1:8080) however, certain ISPs, such as Comcast/Xfinity restrict modem access to port 80. So for those situations, the only way to access the spectrum analyzer tool would be for Netgear to add it to the User Interface on TCP port 80.337Views0likes0CommentsRS700 WAN Failover
I have the following hardware: Netgear LM1200 - LTE Modem Netgear CM2000 - Cable Modem Netgear RS700 During the pandemic, like many, my company swapped to a remote or hybrid model. That means that my internet is now critical to my employment. As such, I implemented a backup for when my cable goes down (3 times in 2 years). Currently my network looks like this: CM2000 -> LM1200 -> RS700 -> 10GBE Switch. The issue is that Comcast in my area is going to start >1Gbps testing soon, but I am currently being limited by the 1GBE passthrough in the LM1200. I see that the RS700 allows WAN aggregation (10GBE+1GBE), but it would be helpful if you also allowed WAN failover from the 10GBE to the 1 GBE Port. In my case I would have the CM2000 connected to the 10GBE port (at 2.5GBE) and the LM1200 on the 1 GBE Port for the failover. If the system is capable of link aggregation it has to be capable of failover.1.3KViews3likes2CommentsWeb GUI interface change
For me its the Nighthawk RAX40v2 Firmwareversie V1.0.15.128_2.0.89 Can we please have a sort in columns based on the IP-adres instead of the last edit device. Can we also upvate this together so netgear might take a look at in and adjust this behaviour? The one rrile you applied is always on the button, even after changing the rule, which is kind of annoying, Im a Cloud Engineer myself, yeah with a so-called Gaming Router. But to have u much easier and quicker way to get a good overview it should, in my opinion always be listed drom 192.168.0.1 till .*.254 Would like to have a update on this if it also applies to other models566Views0likes2Commentsmake a new gaming router modem with WiFi 7 2023 or 2024

I recently purchased the NETGEAR Nighthawk Multi-Gig Cable Modem (CM2000). Even though the amazon states that this modem is compatible with all cable providers, it is not on the approved modem list for my cable internet provider Midcontinent Communications. The modem looks great, and I would like to use it. Can I put in a request that NETGEAR try to get this added to Midcontinent's approved list. More customers would likely purchase this modem if it would get approved.275Views0likes1CommentCharter Spectrum symmetrical service
Charter spectrum just confirmed to me today that none of the netgear modems will work with symmetrical service from spectrum..After talking with the technician and 4 experts on the phone there is something in the coding that doesn't match up to provision these modems or possibly any modems right now except the ones from spectrum.398Views0likes1Comment
