WAX625 | No firmware 12.5.0.12 inside Netgear Insight list
Hi, On Jan 6, 2026, 10:02 PM PT, I received alert from Netgear Insight Alert (via e-mail) that new firmware is available: WAX625/WAX628 Firmware Version 12.5.0.12 I am interested in installing this firmware as it supposedly fixes issues with random reboots and I was experiencing something similar where device just locks itself and all SSIDs become unavailable and the only remedy was power restart. Those power restarts are not trivial for me because WAP is PoE powered and high up on the wall. I was forced to buy a timer which cuts out power to the whole network rack including main router (fw) and WAX625. I went into the Netgear Insight > Firmware > Set Target Firmware (upper right corner) to find this firmware 12.5.0.12 and it is not on the list. The latest I see is 11.8.0.9 which appears to be also the one I have installed and the latest one listed on the product page: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/wax625 So, I am wondering what is going on here? Why did I get this e-mail when the firmware is not generally available for install? Thank you![MS108TUP] - Switching - VLAN and routing
Hello everyone, I've this network configuration: Firewall --> MS108TUP --> Access Point Wifi The firewall and the AP is not a Netgear product. I've a domotic house so I've decided to separate the smart devices from the Main network. So in this case I've created an dedicated AP SSID with VLAN ID 20 only for manage smart devices. My network is also managed by a dedicated firewall device that manage VLAN Interfaces, WAN Interfaces, LAN Interfaces etc etc. Throught this Firewall, manage all the L2/L3 levels, from DHCP (one for every interfaces) to Privacy control, from Captive Portal (for Guests account) to Policy Control rule, ACL, Static route, QoS etc etc. So, I've configured the MS108TUP with several VLAN created in Switching mode (Switching --> VLAN). This is my current VLAN configuration on MS108TUP: MG1 is the Firewall uplink port, instead MG2 is the AP Uplink port. And this is the configuration of the interfaces into my Firewall: In this way, the AP create a SSID with VLAN 20, MG2 take the VLAN 20 and route it on MG1 VLAN 20; the firewall (MG1) take the VLAN 20 on port P2 and create it's own network with it's own dedicated DHCP and Static IPs list. All works good but when, from the firewall, I try to block traffic from/to the same interface/zone, not working. For example, if I try to block the SSH port from the tablet to my Raspberry PI and the tablet and the RPI is in the same interface/zone, the traffic is not blocked (my rule is: from DomoDevicesVLAN to DomoDevicesLAN source "tablet" destination "RPI" any service --> deny ----> this rule must deny the traffic for any service from the tablet to the RPI "using" the same zone but not work). Seems because the packet traffic is directly managed by the MS108TUP. Seems as the request is not passing throught the firewall, but remains at the switch level. For example: 192.168.0.5 --> 192.168.0.6 directly In this way the traffic is bypassing the firewall, because remain into the "switch" level Instead, how I can route the traffic thought the firewall? 192.168.0.5 --> 192.168.0.254 (Firewall interface) --> 192.168.0.6 In this way the traffic must pass into the firewall, and in this way I can have full-control on the packets and I can apply a Policy Control rule. Thank you so much Best Regards, Valerio
M4300 (GSM4352PS V1) : can't get kernel image
Hi Netgear Users and Administrators, I have a little problem with my M4300 GSM4352PS V1. There's possibility that image2 is broken. Device is actually booting from image2. On the console I see that can't boot from image and i see "ERROR: can't get kernel image". I supose that the image1 is a good conditional. Best Redgards PawelAV VLAN uplink to public manage switch
Hi All: At our educational facility we are redesigning an existing 2 x room AV system with "cross-room" Audio Visual broadcast connectivity using Crestron Digital Media architechture Each room has a dedicated Crestron DMPS-4K-350-C + DMPS-4K-250-C units with with TV displays, Microphones and Camera's. We have a new Audio Visual private VLAN link between 2 x rooms using core Netgear AV Line switches being programmed for the Crestron Graphic User Interface control in each space. Netgear M4250-9G1F-PoE+ network switch (smaller room 1) + Netgear M4250-26G4F-PoE+ (GSM4230P (larger room 2) My question is for how we can securely manage the AV endpoints inside the private AV VLAN? Crestron virtual X-panel touch screen control is needed + two DMPS hardware units, Biamp audio processors; we need IP control into this new private AV-VLAN from our existing public managed Switch local subnet. I would like to create an ethernet patch uplink from the core Netgear M4250-26G4F-POE (same AV system rack as our Crestron Managed switch) into our local managed public subnet switch which is a Crestron CEN-SW-POE16 Any thoughts on the best way to configure this would be appreciated. Thank youRouteur 802.3az
Bonjour, Je désire brancher deux caméras en POE sur un routeur avec norme 802.3az de chez NETGEAR, sauf que les caméras de DELTA DORE doivent être branchées sur des routeurs IEEE 802.3af. Est-ce possible ? car ne ne trouve pas de routeurs NETGEAR avec les normes 802.3af. Merci de vos bons conseils techniques Philippe
