New C7100V took a nose dive - slow DL speed/normal upload
Model Number: c7100v Firmware: V2.01.33 OS: Mac High Sierra v10.13.3 Hi guys. I purchased the Nighthawk c7100v dual modem/router so I could stop paying the rental fee through comcast, and it works with the triple play that we have. We have a one story, 4 bedroom home and I've never had an issue with coverage or speed with comcast's Arris dual modem/router that we used for years. My speeds using comcast equipment were 150 Mbps down/5 mbps up. Nothing special, but it does the trick. I installed the Nighthawk, called comcast and activated it, checked connectivity and it was working fine. Very similar speeds using the speedtest.net. That was March 17th, last Saturday. On Sunday, March 18th, I noticed the internet was lagging quite a bit. I checked speedtest and it ran a 6 mbps download/5 mbps upload. I restarted the Nighthawk and tried again, but same result. I am lucky to get 10mbps. I'm not using another router, the placement of the Nighthawk is above anything else, not being blocked by metal or a wall, it's in the living room out in the open. I called comcast and they are sending a technician, but I'd like to try and fix it myself in case it's something you guys can help me with. Thanks for taking the time to read this, hope to see a good answer on here soon. Have a great night! ChefRBK44 System Unstable
60% of the time it works everytime! With each firmware update I feel like Netgear is getting further and further away from stability. I am so frustrated by this system that I don't know what to do at this point. If it were not for the fact that I have spent $400 including an extra stellite (RBS50) I would trash it and start over. I just manually updated to the beta firmware version 2.1.3.6 in hopes of finding stability. 2 hours into it and I can't tell you how many times I have rebooted the router and statellites. My family is ready to execute me in my sleep. Pleassssse Netgear! Fix the stability issues.Wifi extender EX6150v2 connection problems Help!
Hi, We have used this extender successfully for several months. We recently upgraded to NBN so have a new wifi router. We have followed video and connected it to new router using Ethernet cable. The Netgear extender is connected via Ethernet cable in our shed. When we try to connect to it, it picks up our correct wifi network but when we enter the wifi password it says we cannot join! What do we do?EX2700 i cant remember login or security answers
ive got a new internet recently so ive had to reconnect my extender and it is asking me to login, i cant remember the username let alone the password so i clicked username and password help and its security question, sisters name and best friends name, im definitely not getting those questions wrong but it says i am and often times it just comes up with timestamp has expired please return to menu, any ideas how i get round all this?Issue with my Orbi Satellite
So wondering if someone can help me on this. My orbi satellite has been acting up recently not broadcasting wifi. Before I get into it, I have power cycled the router, the satellite, the router and the satellite, I have updated firmware manually, reset to factory defaults... twice, all to no avail... Also I know the satellite was not bum off the line because it worked fine in the past for some time (I've had the system for close to 6 months with no prior issues). Anyways, the issue appears to be the satellite has wifi "disabled" but I can't find a way to turn it on (no switch on the hardware, no option when logged into the satellite through either its direct IP admin page or through the router admin page). Going in through the router admin page shows the satellite as a "connected device" but doesn't recognize it as a satellite. Further, reseting the satellite and synching manually yields a blue light (never magenta) but still the router page doesn't recognize the satellite as a "satellite" - only a "connected device". And finally, logging into the admin page for the satellite itsefl yields a picture showing the satellite connected to the router, but specifically stating the wifi for both the 2.4 and 5.0 channels as "disabled". Anyone have any ideas? Its really quite frustrating, especially how expensive these units are and the amount of time I've had it. ThanksBefore I buy Orbi
I need some community help. I really want to buy the Orbi system to cover some of the dead zones in my house, but the recent reviews on Amazon and the community boards about the router losing its connection to the modem and requiring a physical reset really concerns me. Has there been a fix for this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.Ralink.dll ERROR
So my netgear genie was going just fine for about 5 months, then this Netgear error pops up twice every time my computer turns on saying that the file "Ralink.dll" is not compatible or working properly on your computer. I deleted the .dll file and restarded my PC. When it came on this time it says " The code execution cannot proceed because Ralinkk.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. Wont let me access the genie. Any help on how to reinstall the program and get it to work properly?Internet troubles
