Orbi and Neato Botvac Connected
I just replaced my pair of Airport Extremes with a new Orbi setup (one base/router and one wall plug satellite). I updated to the latest firmware during the setup. With one exception, everything works: iphone, ipad, macbook, windows laptop, appletv, wemo's, epson printer, tv, roku. The exception is my Neato Botvac Connected. Wifi setup on the Neato is much like a Wemo or a Fitbit scale... you connect to the device's internal wifi, have it scan for local SSIDs, choose your SSID and password, then it connects to your wifi. But the Botvac never connects. I've gone through all the basic and advanced steps; I've rebooted and reset; I've done it all. I've also opened a support request with Neato, but haven't seen a reply. What gets me is it worked just fine with the old Airport Extreme network, but refuses to work with the Orbi's. When it fails, the Neato app links out to a support doc referring to ports 80/443 being blocked. My experience is they're only blocked inbound, not outbound. And again... it works with the AE's with no special setup. I went so far as to do a MAC reservation to guarantee the Neato's IP, then added a rule to forward ports 80 and 443 to that IP and retried. It failed with the exact same error. So with everything but the Neato working and with no response from Neato support, I'm wondering if any other Orbi users have a working Neato Botvac Connected? If so, what did you do to get it working? I do have beamforming and MU-MIMO enabled. I've seen notes about those disconnecting older devices like Ring doorbells. But in this case, the Botvac cannot connect at all... its not connecting and then disconnecting. Wondering if I need to disable beamforming and mu-mimo? Last thing, the Neato has the latest firmware installed.EX6120 - no network connection on 5GHz
Installed and configured my.EX6120-100NAS. During config phase all was good - picked up both 5GHz and 2.4GHZ networks. But when it restarts it will only provide a network connection on the 2.4 network. If I connect to the 5G network I get no DHCP address. I have verified that it's not my main router - if I connect directly to the 5G network, everything is fine.
EX6200 Range Extender (losing connections, how to configure from web browser)
I have the EX6200 and am happy with the performance but from time to time it loses it's connection to my router. When this happens I power cycle the EX6200, it reconnects, and I am back up and running for 1-2 weeks, then I lose it again. Curious if there are settings I can adjust to fix this. Also, I am a primarily Linux household, so I am curious if there is a web interface for configuration.Configure netgear to my smart tv
I recently bought a samsung link stick to connect my smart tv to the internet wirelessly. I was told my the Netgear support that I will need to configure my netgear router to connect to my television in order to have internet capability, however he wanted to charge $200 to do so, hence he sent me to this forum. I think he said that certain ports are not open and would need to be in order to get a wireless connection. Can ANYONE please help me??? This has been on ongoing issue passed back and forth from my internet provider, cable provider and Samsung. NOW it seems as if we have a way to resolve it, however I have no idea how to do it without guidance. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
