Protect
1 TopicR7800 and Nest Protect
Hello, I have a netgear R7800 on the latest firmware (.28) and I'm having issues with Nest Protect. Before buying and installing the Netgear I had my (now modem), in router mode and Nest Protect worked fine. The Nest protect is a 2.4 Ghz device only. When I do the original setup and check attached devices it briefly shows up, then it drops from the network and never seems to get back on. I have done the following. Each change made, I factory reset the protect and re-add it onto my Nest account. Changed from auto to channel 6 Changed from 800Mbps to 347 Reserved the IP of the device against the MAC and forwarded some ports following a conversation with Nest support as a test (I never had to do this on the old router) Enabled the guest network and joined it that Enabled the guest network to have access to the LAN. All of the above to no avail. All my other devices are on 5Ghz, or Ethernet. However I joined my phone to 2.4Ghz and used it fine for a day, so this seem isolated to this device. Access control is disabled QOS is switched off Parental controls are disabled I'm using OpenDNS instead of my ISP's UPnP is enabled. Anymore information required, please let me know.Solved7.4KViews0likes13Comments
