Nighthawk M2 IP PassThrough stops working when idle
So I have a Nighthawk M2 in IP PassThrough with a VPN tunnel uplink over time it disconnects from 4G network for some reason and as soon as I login to the Nighthawk it springs to life. firmware NTG24_10.19.03.00 So anyone else having this problem? the ISP is o2Nighthawk M2 Router - Issues with Intra-Network Data Transfer Speeds
Hello everyone, I've encountered some significant issues with the Nighthawk M2 router regarding the speed of data transfer between devices connected to the same WiFi network. Please note that these issues do not affect internet browsing speeds, which are functioning perfectly. Problem Description After conducting several tests, I've observed the following: - When the WiFi profile is set to "Dual-Band WiFi", two computers connected to the same network can exchange data at speeds of 10-18 Mb/s, regardless of whether they connect via the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band. - When the WiFi profile is set to either "2.4 GHz Only" or "5 GHz Only", the data transfer speed between two computers drops drastically to about 0.1 Mb/s, with numerous data losses. Testing and Results To support this, I've conducted tests using the iperf3 software, both between two MacBook Pros and between a MacBook Pro and a Raspberry Pi. These tests indicate that the issue persists across different devices.

TCP data transfers are blocked by the router, and only ICMP traffic (e.g., ping) is allowed. Impact To facilitate data exchange between two computers using the Netgear M2, it is necessary to keep the "Dual-Band WiFi" option enabled. This results in higher power consumption and shorter battery life, which is not ideal for a device that should efficiently manage client communications. I hope this problem can be addressed in a future firmware update, as it significantly impacts the router's performance in enabling client-to-client communication. Thank you for your attention to this matter. AndreaNetgear GS316EP reports as GS108EV3 after factory reset
We have an unused Netgear GS316EP 16 port switch. During troubleshooting we were asked to factory reset the switch. After factory reset it reverted to it's default IP address. When you connect via web to the switch via it's default IP address, the switch now says it is a GS108Ev3 8 port switch. The configuration utility is completely different from before. I downloaded the newest firmware but have not yet tried to install. The installation of firmware is even very different between the different models and I was concerned that the incorrect firmware (wrong model) might brick the switch. How can we get our 16 port GS316EP back? (We need all 16 ports not just 8)
Orbi : planning Allumage-extinction
Bonjour, Lors d'une prochaine version de firmware, les développeurs pourraient-ils nous rajouter une fonction permettant d'éteindre et de rallumer automatiquement le réseau WIfi en fonction des heures et des jours comment cela existe sur de nombreux appareils ? La solution d'éteindre manuellement (OFF) l'appareil n'en étant pas une, tout ce qui ne se fait pas automatiquement ne sera pas fait régulièrement, à fortiori si aucun voyant n'attire notre attention. Si d'autres utilisateurs, qui sauf erreur de ma part devraient être assez nombreux, pouvaient soutenir cette demande, cela stimulerait peut être les développeurs pour implémenter cette fonction. Merci à tous.
