Best way to factory reset a disconnected RBR and RBS 50's
Hi all, I have powered off and disconnected my RBR and 2 RBS 53's. These were replaced by another (newer) mesh system. The new network is functional. Unfortunately, before switching over to the new devices, I did not factory reset the RBK53 devices. They are sitting on my workbench. I need to erase them before selling them or giving them away.. What is the best way to factory reset and erase all stored information (esp passwords) from those things? The long press (with a pin) of the reset button has not always worked when I was using the RBK53. They would pop right back on the network, from what I remember... Thx. Aloke
Impossible to install Arlo Go2 camera on Orbi RBK53
The Arlo Go2 camera needs a phone with the Arlo app connected to 2.4GHz. The RBK53 won’t let me choose the network, and the phone always connects to 5GHz. I’m not sure if there’s a way to temporarily disable 5GHz to force the phone onto 2.4GHz for setup. I tried the setup in the Arlo app, but the camera doesn’t chime when scanning the QR code, so I can’t complete the process. The camera worked before, but after the battery ran out and I charged it with a cable, it disappeared from the Arlo app and I’m trying to bring it back. I already have two other Arlo Go2 cameras working fine. Any help on forcing my phone to connect to 2.4GHz would likely let me finish the setup.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.

Anyway thank you in advance.Does the Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 Gen 9 16-inch AMD Work Well with Netgear Routers for High-Speed Wi-Fi?
Hi everyone, I recently purchased the Lenovo IdeaPad Pro laptop, and I’m trying to set it up with my Netgear router for high-speed Wi-Fi. Since I use the internet extensively for streaming, online meetings, and downloading large files, a stable and fast connection is essential for me. The IdeaPad Pro 5 Gen 9 16 inch AMD laptop supports the latest Wi-Fi standards, and my router is a Netgear Nighthawk model, which is also known for delivering high-speed internet. However, I’ve heard that sometimes laptops and routers from different manufacturers might have compatibility issues or need specific settings for optimal performance. Here are a few questions I hope someone can help me with: Does the IdeaPad Pro 5 Gen 9 16 inch AMD work seamlessly with Netgear routers, especially for high-speed Wi-Fi connections? Are there any specific settings or configurations I should adjust on my Netgear router for better compatibility? Has anyone faced connectivity or speed issues when pairing this laptop with a Netgear router? If so, how did you resolve them? Does the laptop’s Wi-Fi adapter fully support features like Wi-Fi 6 or 6E that some Netgear routers offer? I’d appreciate any tips, advice, or personal experiences from the community. If you’ve successfully paired this laptop with a Netgear router, I’d love to hear about your setup and any steps you took to optimize the connection. Thanks in advance for your help!
Orbi RBR50
Sorry if I have selected the "wrong" board, or .... I have the "old" Orbi and a satellite, and I have no problem with them for streaming, Internet, and the like. What I would appreciate information about, though, is suggestions/comments on establishing a Home-only network for security cameras. I do not wish their "signal" to reach the Internet, and so on. I would like routers with the absolute widest range, because I need to mount some cameras on a couple of buildings other than the house. Wired cameras are not a reasonable alternative for what I need. Besides suggestions on the best routers, I would appreciate any information about what wireless cameras to use or to not use. The other buildings are fairly close to the house 20-50 feet, at most. Hopefully, I can get routers (I presume I will surely need more than one) which I can keep in the house and will connect to multi-camera central system. Again, I will appreciate any/all comments and suggestions. Many thanks.Parental Controls and Invalid Certificate Error - CBR750
With parental controls enabled, all devices connected to the router report “untrusted or invalid certificate” when attempting to access the internet. Disabling parental controls on the router clears the error and then re-enabling allows devices to access normally . All devices report the error every morning as long as parental controls are enabled. Firmware v4.6.14.4. The certificate error is associated with Circle Labs and appears to have too long of an active period - 20 years. How can we get an updated, trusted and valid certificate?Router web software to manage individual devices.
Hello, I am looking for a router that would have the ability using either a browser or mobile app, that would allow me to restart the wi-fi on an individual device. Right now, the router I am using I have to turn off wi-fi for all devices in order to restart the wi-fi on 2 cameras that have issues (long story). So I would like to just be able to select the device that would "appear not online" and restart the wi-fi, avoiding having to do this for the entire wi-fi system. Right now doing that with these 2 cameras fixes the issue. i can only control the priority of internet on these cameras, but i want to control the wi-fi connection to it. Does any router in the Netgear (home) space allow this to happen?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. ?Powerline Extender, Wall Plug
I’m wondering if the Powerline extenders work for wired internet for a work from home setup? I would assume yes since they would be plugged into the modem with an Ethernet cable and then plugged into my meraki with another Ethernet cable but I’ve never tried one and I don’t want to spend the money if it won’t work. Thanks!
