EAX20 trying to connect to internet via port 8883
Hello everybody, I am currently seeing my EAX20 connecting to the internet a amazon data center via port 8883. I have currently blocked this but I am wondering why it does this? if it is sometthing to do with MQTT, what is it trying to do and do I need it? apart from checking for firmware updates whicj it can still do and I dont have it connected to any app or cloud services, what could be using this? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I cant find this answer anywhere and cant do a support ticket because Netgear only offers 3 months support. Anyway thank you in advance.Product recommendation for an RV AP with Wi-Fi backhaul.
Hello, I am looking for an AP for my RV that would allow for Wi-Fi backhaul to another local AP. It needs to have an external antenna connector or a removable 2.4 or 2.4/5 antenna. I am thinking that a range extender could work but I would prefer to have my own SSID. A Mesh system would only work if the far AP was the same product. Do most AP's allow for non wired backhaul? Possibly one solution would be a range extender to the far AP along with a local AP using the extender's link as backhaul. ?creating offline mesh network, without internet , what model i should use? most needs internet
hello, i hope you have a great day, looking to create an offline local mesh network to make our devices contact one another, most routers i found needs to be connected to a central modem (internet company modem) and it just creates bigger network. i need to create one big mesh network using more routers with one name, what models should i look into. thanks in advanceTrying to figure out what products to buy for the networks I need.
Hello, this is my first posting so I dunno this forum's rules and etiquette for what info is needed/presented or how to post, so please forgive me if I make mistakes. I have been given a set of 5 public IPv4 address, xxx.xxx.xxx.17/29, and I want to assign these to each of my 5 computers. Two of these computers are located adjacent to where the incoming cat6 cable from my ISP is and I could simply use a switch to extend my external network to these 2 systems. I would then assign two of my pool of public IP address to these two computers. The complication arises because the other three computers are in remote locations and cannot be reached by a cable. Also, FYI, effectively I only have two locations to worry about. The two computers, located where the incoming cable from my ISP, also have a local area private net 192.168.10.0/24 that they share. Ditto for the 3 remote computers, they too are also connected to their own local private net 192.168.20.0/24 In other words I want my external network to look like this - Home network: Incoming cable from ISP with a gateway public address of xxx.xxx.xxx.17 connected to one of the LAN ports of a 5 port Switch Computer A which has a NIC assigned to static public address of xxx.xxx.xxx.18 connected to one of the LAN ports of a 5 port Switch. Computer B which has a NIC assigned to static public address of xxx.xxx.xxx.19 connected to one of the LAN ports of a 5 port Switch. A NetGear-WiFi device connected via it's first cat6 port, to one of the LAN ports of a 5 port Switch but does not require an IP address from my pool of 5 public addresses I own. This device is for extending my public network, via WiFi, to each of my remote computers. Let's call this device NG_Device A. If NG_Device A had a second cat-6 port for control and configure functions only, that didn't need an IP address from the external network, that I want to extend across the Wifi link, I could then assign a private LAN address to it. Remote Network: A NetGear-WiFi device connected to NG_Device A, via Wifi. Let's call this device NG_Device B. Like NG_Device A, If NG_Device B had a second cat-6 port for control and configure functions, that didn't need an IP address from the external network that I want to extend, I could then assign a private LAN address to it also. A second 5 port Switch connected to the first cat6 port of NG-Device B. Computer C which has a NIC assigned to static public address of xxx.xxx.xxx.20 connected to one of the LAN ports of the second 5 port switch Computer D which has a NIC assigned to static public address of xxx.xxx.xxx.21 connected to one of the LAN ports of the second 5 port switch Computer E which has a NIC assigned to static public address of xxx.xxx.xxx.22 connected to one of the LAN ports of the second 5 port switch I am by no means a network expert but this setup seems like it should be easily doable! But I cannot puzzle out what to purchase and how to go about setting up the the NG_Device A and B devices to accomplish this! Nor can I grok whether I can assign a private IP address to each device while configuring it to handle/extend the external network. Conceptually I want a WiFi link that acts like a simple dumb cable! Can you help me to choose what NetGear devices I need to purchase and explain how to configure them? It seems to me that each of the devices I am going to purchase will require at least 2 cat6 cable connections each? I looked at NetGear WiFi Extenders, but they only have 1 cat6 port, and I dunno how I can accomplish what I want to do with my limited set of public IP addresses. Maybe I have the wrong idea about how networks are extended across WiFi links, but this should give you the gist of what I want to accomplish. Thanks in advance and appreciate any and all suggestions! Marc...Can’t connect my Netgear EX6120 extender via ethernet.
Trying to setup my Netgear EX6120 in my roommates room via ethernet as an access point. I installed 100ft ethernet cable going from the back of our Motorola MG7700 24x8 cable modem/router. In the beginning when trying to setup after factory reseting it, if the Ethernet cable was plugged in the Netgear extender it wouldn’t let me login to it’s interface to set it up. Then I tried disconnecting the cable, logging in going to setup and pluging the Ethernet cable when setting up access point. But it will not register anything. I don’t get it. It can sense that something is plugged in because I can’t login when it’s plugged in but it will not connect when it’s plugged in. This thing is driving me absolutely nuts. Not as simple as it should be.About Nighthawk EAX80 Extender Security Type Setting
Firmware Version V1.0.1.70_1.0.2 I find that there is an option "WPA2/WPA3-Personal" for WIFI Security setting in the Nighthawk app but missing it in the Web interface. If I change any wifi settings by the web interface, the security setting in both the web interface and the app will be completely set as other options instead of "WPA2/WPA3-Personal". Didn't NETGEAR notice this problem? I'm surprised no one noticed it after all this time. The "WPA2/WPA3-Personal" is completely missing in the web interface setting.😢 Please fix it. Thank you.🙏Wifi Extenders and Captive Portal
Can these Wifi Extenders receive, amplify and broadcast/transmit a signal from a public wifi network that is behind a Captive Portal with Web Authentication? 1. NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Desktop WiFi Range Extender (EX7000-100NAS) 2. NETGEAR AC1200 Desktop WiFi Range Extender (EX6200) I live in a Public Housing Project that uses XfinityWifi (Comcast) hotspot, which requires a Web Authentication log-in through the Captive Portal. I don't get very good signal in my apartment, but the signal is there, just weak.Powerline wifi 1000 plw1010
Hello Community, I am trying to disable WiFi on this setup, which includes: - one base unit connected to the Netgear modem - 3 separate adapters connected remotely via the house wiring system I suspect that the wifi is causing my sleep troubles, so I want to try to connect all of it via ethernet only and disable the wifi.
