R7000 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 was getting buffering - checked the modum and that was good- unplugged the router - finally reset it - but when i try to connect the router to my computer with the ethenet cord the routerlogin - the page never loads not sure where to go from here - purchased in 2021 so its not that old and its been a great router with a good range to reach my back field where i monitor bluebirds with a blink cameracannot access my nighthawk router after changing xfinity password
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.Internet connection Interruption
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?r7000 router only shows two lefthand lights
We lost internet this morning. Verizon Fios says that the internet is all good on their end, so it potentially is a problem with our R7000 router. (https://www.netgear.com/support/product/r7000/) Only the two left lights are showing and I dont think that's right. Anyone know what I can to do fix it? Do we need a new router??Support for Linux clients and OPENVPN on R7000 or any other Netgear router
Althought the R7000 router has support for MAC and Windows clients when using the Netgear R7000 OPENVPN built-in server, it does not support Linux as a client. See the following link: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/R7000-VPN-Service-TAP-or-TUN/m-p/1002408#M20691 Currently I am running the latest "supported" firmware version: V1.0.4.30_1.1.67 as of Nov 10 2015 There is a great number of Linux users and not being able to take advantage of the OPENVPN server in the Router seems to be a big limitation/oversight. I personally purchased this router because of the fat that it had a built in OENVPN server, so that I could connect my Android and Linux devices to my network. As I discovered after purchasing the router neither of these platforms are supported. It seems that IOS and Android support is coming, but no plans to implement Linux. It may be possible to manually configure a Linux client if Netgear would publish how OPENVPN is implemented. I understand that this would not be "supported" by Netgear, but for those of us who have some technical skill we could possibly implement it and make it work for our needs. Providing information such as and not limited to the following would be very useful since OPENVPN is open source software: Tunnel Device (TUN/TAP) Protocol UDP/TCP) Port number (1194 -> official port, or another port defined by Netgear) Encryption cipher (None, blowfish, AES-512/256/192/128 CBC, etc....) Hash algorithm (SHA1/256/512,MD4/5,none, etc....) TLS Cipher (none, AES-128/256 SHA, etc...) LZO Compression (Adaptive, yes/No, none) Authority/ Password usage TLS Auth Key usage ? PKCS12 Key usage? Static Key usage? ns-cert-type server ? Is access limited to the local network, to access the internet only, or to both local and internet? etc..... This post is essentially to ask for Netgear to provide the following: Implement a Linux client file and instructions on how to implement it for the various distributions of Linux. Provide comprehensive documentation on how OPENVPN is implemented in the R7000 router or any other router that has an OPENVPN server built-in.R7000 - Disney Circle - Internet speeds through router slowdown
Creating a new thread to focus on this one issue. I don't believe this is a general slow wifi/slow internet issue, but is clearly Circle related. All tests done on wired connection via my Netgear R7000. I have a cable internet plan advertised as 150/15. This was all done on firmware 1.0.9.14, and I did a factory reset and setup my options yesterday fresh. I have never enabled QoS or Web Traffic. I do have IPv6 configured and it works. Circle was enabled now for 24 hours. Speed slowly sinks down to 37Mbps. I see this speedtest: Turn off Circle via webpage on router and hit apply. This saves quickly, no reboot of router. Now I see full speed, and see how solid the download speed is? I turn Circle back on, hit apply and I get this speed test. All tests run inside 2 minutes: Turn Circle back off, and retest. Going to leave it off for 24 hours now to test: Looking for any support from Netgear if this is expected, and if it is fixable. Willing to help test if needed, as Cirlce seems like a great feature.
Please provide administrator webpage for DHCP lease admin
Please refer to this topic where the router was struggling to hand out a new IP adress via DHCP : https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/R7000-DHCP-offer-but-no-connection-can-be-ma... On a router of this level, would a admin page that can control DCHP not be a minimal requirement? I am talking about a page that would show leased IP adresses and corresponding MAC adress. Also the possibility to change the lease time and to delete certain leases. A log file that would show DHCP offers and responses. With the current interface you are totally blind.Nighthawk R7000 Traffic Meter Monthly Limit Increase
Please update the Traffic Meter feature for the Nighthawk R7000 to have an increased Monthly Limit that can account into the Tbytes. Comcast as an ISP has began to implement data caps at 1024Mb which equates to 1048576Mbytes but the Monthly Limit field only allows me to enter 104857Mbytes, missing the last digit which is significantly less than the data cap. Given that Comcast is monitoring the traffic it should be available to impose limits and monitor traffic independent of Comcast. It is very important this feature be added. Currently running V1.0.7.10_1.2.3 firmware. This was mentioned in the forums and it was suggested that this be submitted at this location in that post. See below; https://community.netgear.com/t5/VPN-Firewalls/Bugfix-Request-Increase-maximum-monthly-limit-for-Traffic/m-p/1185320#M6496 Original Post "This in regards to the Traffic Meter monitoring function of the SRX5308 VPN Firewall. However this would apply to any device in Netgear's product lineup that monitors the amount of IP traffic per month. Currently the traffic meter can set a monthly traffic limit of up to a maximum of 256000 MB (~250 GB). However, this is insufficient for those who are using Comcast as an ISP where the limit is set to 1 Terabyte (1024 Gb). Request that the montly traffic limit setting be adjustable in the Terabyte range." Reply "I advise you to post your concern as feature request in the Idea Exchange Board for Business here. Be reminded that the community members who will give kudos to your idea will help as the development team will be reviewing the post that has the most kudos and it might be considered to be added on the future functionality of the product."Enable Telnet on R7000
Hi, I tried a lot of ways to enable telnet service without success....Searching in the community, I saw that there are others people interested of this function on the R7000 AC1900 Smart WiFi Router Nighthawk. These are some examples of posts in the communty: 1) Enabling telnet on R7000 2) Telnet not working on latest firmware (V1.0.9.10_1.2.21) 3) How to enable telnet on this router? Please, can you release a FW with this feature? Thanks!
