VPN Setting
I'd like to see VPN Setting update in next firmware update that allows users to setup VPN with other VPN clients. While current instructions do allow for Smart DNS and shows how to create a VPN connection, it lacks today's needs. Having VPN support setting eliminates the need to run VPN on each device by allowing all connections to flow through router as one connection. Most services limit up to 3 connections at once. Having this support on my R8500 would totally eliminate the connections limit. Please consider supporting this with next firmware!Rate limit by MB's for Netgear WC9500
Dear Netgear, I'm struggeling with rate limits which I would like to configure on a Wifi network which is currently installed at one of our clients. We're using a Netgear WC9500 in combination with Netgear WNDAP360 AP's. I've configured multiple SSID's, one of them is for guests. I would like to limit this SSID by MB usage instead of a percentage of the bandwith. This way I can prevent guests from hijacking the entire Internet connection. please consider this feauture in the next firmware. regards, FrankHow to update the firmware of my Ex7300 extender ?

ReadyNAS 314 - Firmware update from version 6.1.6 to 6.6.1 Issues
Will there be an issue when we update the firmware of the ReadyNAS from version 6.1.6 to 6.6.1? We have encountered an issue with another Netgear ReadyNAS losing the volume when we update to the latest firmware. We had logged a case with Netgear support to recover the data for that issue. We are planning to update the firmware on the NAS to see if it will fix the folder permission issue we are having. Currently we have a shared folder (UserProfile) that we cannot see the contents inside via the webui. We are able to see the contents inside if we access the shared folder via SMB on a Windows 7 PC. Please advise if anyone experience any issues updating a very old firmware on the NAS to the latest.
WN 2000rpt problematic with drop signal and buggy firmware update
Hello, I have a Netgear wn2000rpt extender with the original firmware that drops the connection to the wireless router. This is what I have done so far: Set the RPT MAC and IP address as a static address on the Wifi router. FAIL- same issue Reset to factory Use WPS button to automatically set up router and the RPT used the same SSID and WPA2 security as the router. .FAIL- same issue Reset to factory Manually connect to the setup interface and used the wizard to configure the RPT and it uses the same SSID and WPA2 as the router. .FAIL- same issue After looking up the issues on google i tried to reconnect to the RPT using the web address www.mywifiext.net Fist on windows 7 with IE .FAIL webpage connection error Next with Chrome .FAIL webpage connection error Next on windows 10.FAIL webpage connection error on both IE and chrome Next I used an old IPAD and could connect to the RPT GUI and found out that it had the original firmware. Next I download the .24 firmware and tried to upload it but the RPT GUI could not find the file. FAIL Next the instructions said I might have to unzip the file (really for firmware?) so I attempted to unpack it using winzip Result was a readme file and and img file (that winzip saw as a zip file but could not unpack) Attempted to load the img flie with the same result as the prior FAIL Next contacted netgear support but they wanted a fee to update the RPT Firmware. FAIL- might as well put the money to a new extender but with this experience I am forced to carefully shop for a better product. So unless someone has specific instruction on how to work around all the bugs on the Netgear wn2000rpt I guess I'll use this as a door stop for now. Case: WN2000RPT dropps connection and can't update firmware, no knowlege baseWN604 firmware upgrade from 2.3.2 to 3.3.2 and away from air...
Just to tell the story: I have a WN604 operating for YEARS in my home network, just needed 2 reboots so far after running in an error - the 2nd reboot was today (entire network was down because the WN604). So while checking if it works after reboot I just got the idea that there could be a newer firmware version available than 2.3.2 that I had - and it was: 3.3.2. I should have known, but I was in a mood to touch a running system.... The upgrade did run properly and over the cable conection I could reconnect to the WN604 after the automatic reboot. BUT MY WLAN WAS NO MORE VISIBLE FOR ANY WIRELESS DEVICE!! I tried an tried to change something - but no success. I've seen the "blue light" at the device beeing just on without any flickering. I got my WLAN back after I "updated" version 2.3.2 again - what erased all configurations.... but I found my WLAN again in the air. So I've learned once more: NEVER TOUCH A **bleep** RUNNING SYSTEM!!!!!Firmware Frustration on CM400
About a month ago, the Netgear modem I have been using with my ISP for 2 years abruptly stopped working. After multiple tech visits out to my place, and replacing the modem with the same model to no avail, my ISP finally determined the problem to come from a recent series of upgrades to their network they did recently. They told me the firmware might be out of date on my modem--they said it should be 1.01.17 and because I did a few factory resets to make sure the modem was running properly, my firmware was downgraded to 1.01.10. If this is correct, I cannot connect to my ISP to update the firmware. Is there any possible way to update my modem? Also, if this helps, the issue with my modem has been that downstream will bond OK, but upstream will not.
