I've had a AC1900 R7000 Nighthawk operating in my house for many years and it has provided good service to connect devices like my MacBook Pro Laptops and iPad. I recently built a stand alone Metal Pole Barn style workshop about 200' away and when the doors are closed can't pick up the house WIFI signal. During construction we buried a Cat 5 cable between the buildings with the idea of putting a 'Remote" device in that shop, wired to the Nighthawk in the house, to allow a better connection of my user devices. I'm ready to make the cable connections, but need to know what kind of device would be good to put on the end of the Cat 5 cable, to allow a wireless connection, when I have my laptop out in the workshop. What are some small, compatible boxes that would do the job interfacing with my Nighthawk R7000?33Views0likes2CommentsGuys 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.WAC 510 Firmware Upgrades
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, ZaffySolved62Views0likes3CommentsR7000 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.141Views0likes2CommentsInternet 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?120Views0likes6Comments
