Monitoring multiple Orbi networks
I monitor multiple Orbi networks with the iPhone app, one local and one remote. When I get an alert, it’s not always obvious which network it came from. It would be very helpful if the router hostname were displayed on the app’s main screen and in alerts and reports that are sent to the app. Does anyone else think this would be useful?Need equipment recommendation
I was running Luxul APs and a Luxul router. I had 3 failed APs in 2 years and wasn’t really happy with them anymore so I switched to Insight WAX615 APs (I have 4) and a GS305EPP switch. I didn’t need the switch with Luxul as the APs worked with my router. I am now growing tired of my Luxul router. I really like the Insight interface so I would like a router that uses the same interface. I also don’t need/want WiFi built into the router. The router sits in one end of the basement, thus the APs. I will still use the 4 port switch so I only need 4 ports on the router, if that is a factor. I am looking to spend about $200ish. What do you recommend?How to add 2 WAX630E AP's to my Network
I have the CR1000A Router with 1 gig fios internet service. I want to use just my two Netgear Access Points this way I can have seamless transitions between the access points (1 upstairs and 1 downstairs). Do I need to put my Route in "bridge mode"? What needs to be done to make this work?Can't log into Verizon 5G Home gateway through Netgear WAX202
Because the Verizon gateway's wifi is garbage, I opted to get the Netgear WAX202. When I connected it it was able to detect the internet through the gateway and configure itself just fine. I was able to log into the gateway via 192.168.0.1 just fine and was actually logged into both the gateway and router at the same time while setting them up. But I think after I set the gateway to passthrough mode, I lost the ability to log into the gateway as it's now coming up as unreachable. Is there an advanced setting in the router that'll allow me to log into the gateway?WAX610 firmware check not working
I bought this WAP a couple of years ago. I was always able to click check for update and it would find one if available. I got notice that there was an update, and I waited for the requisite 2 days before checking for non subscribers to insight. It didn't find anything. Today, I looked at the Netgear site and the update was available for download there. So now the upgrade check feature isn't working anymore. Is that feature now only for insight subscribers as well? Is anyone else seeing this?Is wi-fi 6 worth it over wi-fi 5?
Right now I'm looking at accespoints after getting a switch (supporting PoE+), mainly the TP-Link Omada EAP245 and the Netgear WAX214, the netgear supporting wi-fi 6 at 1.200Mbits on the 5Ghz band while the tp-link has wifi 5 yet 1.300Mbits on that 5Ghz band. I'll be using it in a single room to make for a stable link to wireless VR on an Oculus Quest (Airlink), which requires a pretty decently fast connection. Aswell as other devices such as my laptop and my phone. I was wondering if there are any significant advantages of wi-fi 6 in my use case or otherwise any other suggestions for accespoints. Any help would be very much appreciated!2022 and I still have to reboot my router to force static ip changes on my Orbi 5?
I'm currently using an Orbi 5 router, and I can't figure out why I have to reboot my router (and thus disconnect my entire network) to get a device to change to a newly assigned static IP. Even if I reset the device and let it reconnect to the network, Oorbi gives it the old IP, not the assigned static IP. I remember having a router in the mid 2000s that could do this. Is there any way I can put in a request for this feature?how to configure igmp proxy on otbi toutrr?I need multicast support for my ipTV for this to work i r
