I want to block my TV from accessing internet but still allow LAN access
Hi, I have a few devices I want to block from accessing the Internet but still allow them local network access. I understand I can block specific port numbers or assign dummy DNS addresses on specific devices... all of which are decent workarounds. But is it possible to just simply tell my router to block WAN access for a specific device IP/MAC address or somthing similar? -Pete

R7000 Stops Connecting to the Internet
>>Recently, and sporadically I cannot do a standard connection to the Internet via web browsers using Window PCs or Android smart phones. >>I also cannot login to the router at 192.168.1.1 (no response). I can Ping it. >>I can, however connect between all devices Wired/Wifi on my LAN. >>I can connect to my Modem with a browser. >>I can also connect to the Internet, with a browser, if I use a VPN. >>Powering the router off/on resolves the problem. >>I have looked at the Log file, but see nothing that happens at the time the "incident". >>I have added a new windows laptop to my LAN and I am very (70% certainly) suspicious that it is causing the problem. >>All PCs, except one, have the latest Windows 10 build. The other is a Windows 7 machine. >>Router version V1.0.9.18_1.2.27 >>What information am I missing? How can I monitor the router's history to see what is going on? Thanks

Netgear R7800 ethernet port speed max 100Mbps
Is about a Nighthawk(R) X4S R7800 firmware version V1.0.2.40 Although a gigabith ethernet connection from the modem is connected to the wan port and a gigabit switchport is connected to ethernet LAN port 1, both show a maximum of 100Mb. Also the connected Gigabit switch port shows a maximum of 100Mb. (connecting other gigabit devices on the switcvh port show a 1Gbps speed) According to the specs , the ethernet ports of the R7800 are 1Gbps. What can be the cause that the bandwidth is max 100Mbps ? router status / internetport statistics:

wifi to LAN bridge
I have recently moved from having a separate office to having one in my rented house. The internet is supplied by Sky through one of their modem/routers and it works...ish. My router is downstairs in the lounge and my office is now shoe-horned into a small upstairs bedroom and I have several devices in the office that are connected to each other via an Ethernet switch (which was fine in the old office where I had direct access to the router's LAN port). I now need to get the switch on the LAN reliably connected to the router. So far I have a mains-routed extender and this works okay but there is a fault with them in that they often lose the LAN connection. It is a known fault that I learned of AFTER buying them. I cannot run CAT5 from the office to the router and I cannot reposition the router. Somehow I need to bridge my office LAN, via WIFI to the Sky router. Buying a new router and associated bits is not out of the question but I have yet to ask Sky for the settings (their router came ready configured). Any suggestions? Steve.

EX7000 as Access Point - LAN port still usable ?
Hello Guys, By reading the User Manual before buying, I found something which annoying me... On page 19 from the User Manual, I found : In access point mode, you can connect your computer or WiFi device to the extender only using a WiFi connection. So... IF in Access Point mode, the 4 others LAN ports are not usable like a switch ? Isn't it ? Thanks for your time.

Configuring R6200v2 as Access Point and allow LAN connection to Internet
I have a Netgear R6200v2 connected to my DGND3700v2 DSL modem/router. I have a Cisco 881 router connecting to the R6200v2 providing VPN access to work. - DGND3700v2 LAN port cabled to R6200v2 Internet port - R6200v2 LAN port cabled to Cisco 881 FE WAN port With the factory default settings the Cisco router connects to work. But as soon as I configure the R6200 as an Access Point the LAN ports can't access the internet, and my VPN fails. How can I configure the R6200 to both be an AP, and still be able to use the LAN ports for the Cisco router?
