Insight Management App
51 TopicsInsight Topology Incorrect
One of my clients has two GS724TPv3 Switches. One switch (Cedar) has 9 ports connected, but the Topology only shows 6. The summary page shows that there are 9 ports connected. The other switch (Elm) shows 4 ports connected in the Topology as does the Summary Page. However, I use another tool, Auvik, for mapping and it shows a 5th port in use. Why the inconsistencies? Suggestion: Having a pictorial view of the switch and the connected ports would be very useful. Then if it could show the connection speed and any information about the device connected to the port. Finally the ability to disable/enable a port.12Views0likes2CommentsUsing ReadyNAS as backend for lightweight web tools — is it reliable?
Hi everyone, I currently maintain a small web tool (for example a gratuity / end-of-service benefit calculator for users in the UAE), and I’m evaluating options to host user data, logs, JSON storage files, and backups. My ideal setup is a lightweight, always-on system without needing a full server. That’s where ReadyNAS caught my interest. Some of the things I’m considering: Using ReadyNAS to host REST APIs, static JSON or YAML config files, and backing up user session data. Ensuring data integrity and performance — especially under concurrent access. Handling firmware updates without breaking API endpoints. Syncing backups to cloud or another NAS for redundancy. A few questions for those experienced with ReadyNAS: 1. Has anyone used ReadyNAS to back a small web service or tool (not just file server)? 2. What is the maximum recommended concurrent requests for lightweight API files (JSON) on ReadyNAS? 3. Which methods have you used for version-safe firmware updates so that custom services are not lost? 4. How do you handle secure access (SSL, tokens) when serving APIs from a NAS that’s also storing private user data? If anyone’s already built similar backend or microservice setups using ReadyNAS, I’d love pointers or pitfalls to avoid. Thank you!63Views0likes1CommentIOS Apple Devices Dropping
I have WAX625, WAX610, & 605. For a number of months now, my IOS devices continue to drop their WIFI and then takes 2-5min to reconnect. I originally had Load Balance and Remove Sticky Clients configured. I have put everything back. Firmware on the AP is 10.8.13.2 I am a technical guy and I feel I have tried all the other things that have been mentioned in posts that sort of sound like mine. I think this is only happening on my 5/6ghz SSID. I Have a SSID for 2.4 and one for 5/6. Any suggestions? Anyone else seeing this? Im so frustrated that I'm looking at a different vendor for the house. I am managing these in Insight.101Views0likes4CommentsMAC Address to Device Name / Hostname
I saw a previous discussion from a few years ago but never saw an answer. I have three APs (WBE710 and a WAX610Y) all insight managed for now. They only show the device's MAC address. How can I change this to show an actual device name that I'll have to create elsewhere? If I log into a WBE710 directly, go to connected clients, I can see for example my iphone. MAC, IP, Hostname, OS....it looks like I can edit the hostname to whatever, but seems to be blocked as Insight has control. Can this be edited in Insight? Can this only be done if I kill off Insight? Would this only be in effect on that specific AP? If I roam to another AP would that name follow? SonicWall is my router and providing DHCP, this coming from SonicWall, ie I need to create address objects...and assign a name in that?Solved86Views0likes2CommentsDevices from AP to AP results "Bad Password"
I have a weird on going issue that im hoping someone can help with. I have two Access points in the home, one upstairs (WAX615 on ch3 / ch36 ) and one downstairs (WAC510 on ch1 / ch161) Both are providing the same SSID's: "1930Networks" - This is only the 5G band "1930Networks (2.4G)" - This is the only 2.4 band The idea is that you should be able to travel anywhere around the house and the AP's should hand off to one another. However when connected to one AP (doesn't matter which one) and then moving far away from the AP, the device tries to jump onto the other AP but the device always says "Bad Password" -- the passwords are the same for the same SSID. What could be causing this?Solved1.1KViews0likes1CommentAccount switched to trial mode despite having a valid subscription
My account was converted from my annual Premium support subscription to Trial mode w/o any notice or explanation. I've submitted a ticket but support sucks. No one there seems to know what to do. This happened in conjunction with some back end maintenance that happened around July 6th. Did anyone else experience this and how were they able to get this resolved?709Views0likes0CommentsWAX630E firmware update failing again
When I bought these three units in October I couldn’t get them to firmware update except my by removing them from Insight, updating the firmware through the web ui, and then repairing them to insight. Now there are new updates (I’m on 10.2 still) and they similarly just can’t be installed. How can I get upgrade logs to see why it is failing? I really don’t want to have to remove these devices from management every time a new firmware comes out.
