I have two Netgear WAC 510 acess points (AP) connected to a Nighthawk R7000 wireless router. My two APs are connected and powered by POE to a 48 port Netgear switch. Everything is working fine which I know is an odd way to start a conversation with this community. Today I decided to check the firmware version of my APs. I logged in to them and both were at version 4.0.7.3. I clicked the box to check for updates and the reply I got back was there were no updates available. I doubted that because I have not accessed those APs in over 6 years. I checked the Netgear Product Support pages for the WAC 510. The latest Firmware and MIB version is 9.9.6.8. There are 56 updates for Firmware and MIB from where I am at 4.0.7.3!! A few questions for the Community: Why didn't the hardware automatically get those updates as they came out an apply them? If it's not broke, don't fix it. Should I just leave things alone and wait a year until I am ready to upgrade to WiFi 7? If there is a reason to take on this firmware upgrade task (times two APs), is there an easier way to get from 4.0.7.3 to 9.9.6.8 than applying each update in order?? Thanks in advance, ZaffySolved51Views0likes3CommentsGuys this problem is that the Netgear Router is blocking ports needed by comcast email
Guys this problem is that the Netgear Router is blocking ports needed by comcast email. When i connect to my Router from Cox I have no issues but when I connect to the Mesh from NEtGear is doesn't work. Can somebody explain how to free up those ports to allow this to work like my Cox router.R7000 : passage du mode routeur au mode AP
Bonjour, Je viens de passer du VDSL à la fibre. Résultat, en filaire direct de ma Livebox à mon ordinateur, je passe de 70 Mbps à 937 Mbps. Mon R7000 est actuellement en mode routeur et, si je branche mon ordinateur sur une des prises LAN de celui-ci, je plafonne à environ 250 Mbps, après avoir optimisé le routeur en enlevant de compteur de data et le contrôle parental. Je souhaite donc passer en mode AP pour éviter le double NAT et "court-circuiter" toute les fonctions limitantes du R7000, mais conserver un réseau wifi performant dans sa portée, bien meilleure que le wifi de la Livebox S (je couvre jusqu'au fond de mon jardin de 1400 m2 tranquille, contrairement à la Livebox). J'ai lu que la Livebox devait alors être branchée sur mon R7000 sur une des prises LAN (noires) au lieu de la prise WAN (jaune) actuelle. Concrètement, dans quel ordre dois-je procéder ? Quelqu'un aurait-il un pas-à-pas à me proposer ?8Views0likes0CommentsR7000 AC1900 Factory Reset Itself After Power Outage
Our AC1900 has completely reset itself after a power outage last night. Auto updates is disabled but I have kept it up to date manually. Current version is V1.0.12.216_10.2.122 The router is 7 years old, bought new. Is this behavior something that should be expected from this point on until we replace the unit?Netgear R7000

I changed my wifi password with my Xfinity modem today. I am using my nighthawk router as an extender. I thought I had to update the password on my nighthawk to this new one though I am not sure this is necessary . I went to login to my nighthawk on the app but I get a " wifi not detected" message. I then tried to login on my pc using routerlogin.net and also the 192.168.0.1 but neither worked. First of all do I even need to do anything to my router if I simply changed my Xfinity wifi password? If yes, how can I access the admin panel on my router? Thanks for any help.132Views0likes2CommentsConnexion Admin Orbi impossible

Over the past couple of weeks I have noticed internet connection interruptions. I'm trying to track down the source of the interruptions. I started with the Netgear Nighthawk R7000 logs and found out that the logs have a very limited length and do not appear to cover enough time to allow me to look back in time more than 1 hour. How can I have a longer log? Is there something else I should be looking at to eliminate the router as the source of the interruptions?113Views0likes6Comments
