Block/Allow Schedule Via Mac Addresses
Dear Netgear, 1. The mac address control (block/allow) ability is pretty weak. I really need the ability to schedule device level access, preferrably by mac address, via a time and day schedule. 2. Additionally, we need override buttons on the Genie apps to immidiately block and release internet access via the router. Push a button, it disables access. Push it again, it resumes access. Furthermore, an override button if (and only if) mac address scheduled controls have been enabled, as described above. Push a button, it overrrides the schedule. Push it again, the schedule resumes. Nothing is perfect, right? I mean, what if my pregnant wife wakes up at 3:04am and wants to Google 'pickles and ice cream' and her shiny new iPhone is blocked via schedule? Bad husband! It easy.... just copy paste the code from one of your other packages. I mean, we're talkng about the grandaddy Netgear Tri-Band Nighthawk R8500 four antenna monster here aren't we? We need souped up software to go along with that drag racing wifi router. How about RGB LEDs for those antenna tips while we're at it? (JK) MikeAdd MAC address forwarding table display page
When remotely accessing or managing a switch, it is not possible to tell which device is connected to which port. When troubleshooting it is very useful to see which port a switch has learned a MAC address from. Since switching is it's core function, knowing what information it is basing it's switching decisions on is enormously useful for tracing issues and performance monitoring In any network of more than a few switches, or any lights-out facilities, MAC address tracing is an essential feature.

Hi, I own the Nighthawk MR1100 mobile router and uses its offloading to ethernet feature. One of the networks I connect the router to requires to register the MAC address of the router in order to gain connectivity. This worked great until the recent firmware upgrade to version 12.02.06.00. After the upgrade, each time the router is restarted, the network detects a different MAC address for the router and sends me to the registration screen again. After registration the router is connected to the Internet, but having to register in the captive portal each time is a nuisance. I didn't find any settings to change this behaviour back to to having a fixed MAC address for the ethernet port. Please let me know if there is any workaround or ETA to fixing this issue. Also, it would be useful to be able to set the MAC address of the ethernet port to a user-provided value. Please consider adding this feature as well. Thanks!Parental Controls: Blocking device based on time schedule
There are multiple inactive community discussions dating back several years with people asking for the ability to set time schedules for individual devices (using MAC addresses or whatever). For example, I want to turn off wifi to my kid's device at a certain time of evening on a school night, but not affect all devices. I may want to have a different time schedule for a younger child than an older child. I may want to limit access to wifi at different times of the day. There should be clear, straight-forward solutions to these issues. Here is a response from Netgear from back in 2015: "Re: Blocking device based on time schedule NETGEAR is working to implement the feature in the near future. You may check the updated FAQs. http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24580/~/c3000%2Fc3700-faqs Regards, JamesGL Community Team" Why is this so difficult? Why doesn't Netgear answer this request after so many years?? This should be at the top of the list of any parental feature offered!!C3700-100NAS is blocking ip Camera. I cannot see the ip address at all and do not know mac address
Normally, I have an issue setting up a new ip camera, because the router blocks the new ip address immediately. When the router blocks it I am unable to see the ip address at all, not even in the blocked attached devices. With the other cameras I have setup I was given the mac address (located on the camera or manual) and able to manually add it to LAN. This camera I do not have access to the mac address without being connected to it. Since my router is not even showing it attached (not even in blocked attached devices) I am at a loss of what to do. Can anyone walk me through a way to add the camera, please? Thanks in advance!!
