Are WNR614 N300 and WGT624 config compatible
I have backed the settings from my old WGT624 router and plan to buy a WNR614 N300. Can I restore these seetings from the backup file to the new router? Thanks!

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.

DHCP IP address conflict using Wnr2200 as wireless access point in a Windows network
Hi everibody, I'm using a WNR2200 router only as a wi-fi access point to our lan, which has already a DHCP server. The lan DHCP server is excluding some address in a range (e.g. from .50 to .100) since these addresses are used by some server to give them a static IP in our lan. WNR2200 too has its lan address in that range. DHCP server in WNR2200 is disabled, so any device wi-fi connected should use the lan DHCP server, but in the last days some wireless attached device has an IP in that excluded range (e.g. a smartphone connects and gets the .74 IP), so sometimes we have an IP conflict. We haven't changed anything both in the WNR2200 configuration and in the DHCP server configuration, but this wrong ip assignment is still happening also after a server and /or WNR2200 reboot. How may I prevent the WNR2200 access point to assign a "forbidden" IP to a wi fi connected device? Thank you in advance for your help.

EX7300 randomly drops connection
I have a netgear WNDR4500v3 that works great. I've had it now for a year and I'm very happy. I had an old extender 2.4Ghz only for a while and it worked ok, but was a little slow and when a number of devices connected it started having issues, so I upgraded to an EX7300 recently. I installed it recently and configured it to use 5G-only with the router and 2.4G only with client devices. The setup went smoothly, all my devices connected fine and it seemed to work fine for a week or so. A couple of days ago it looked like I lost internet connection, but instead it was the extender not working. I didn't have time to check right away, but a couple of hours later all was working again so I didn't bother. It happened again today, I logged into the router and the extender was not listed among the "attached devices". I power cycled and now everything seems to be working OK. I don't see anything strange in the logs of the router and I can't find the logs in the extender. I saw another post about changing channels, but since I'm using two separate bands I assume that's not my issue. Any ideas?

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.

WLAN config changes not possible
Hi Guys, I got a problem with my R8000. At the moment its broadcasting the default configured SSID, but for security purpose I want to configure my own SSID / PSK. But this doesn't seems to be possible. When I try to save a change on the SSID / PSK Menu, it gets cancelled: This DFS-Channel cant be used because a radar gets detected. (Error message in german, I translated it, so therefore it could be, that it isnt the exact error message on a english ui) BUT: The error appears even if the second 5G-Radio isn't even turned on, so therefore this shouldnt bother. Further, the first 5G-Radio is sending on a non-DFS-Channel, so this couldnt be the problem either. For me this seems to be a bug. I'm using V1.0.3.4_1.1.2 which seems to be the latest version. kind regards, Andreas
