R7800 antenna numbering
Hello, I would like to connect external 2.4GHz antennas to my R7800 – Nighthawk X4S AC2600. I'm wondering why the four antenna ports are numbered 1, 1, 2, 3 (and not 1 to 4). Is there any difference or some kind of dependency between the ports? I would like to install one antenna on each floor (basement, ground floor, upper floor) and one in the garden. I know that MIMO will no longer work. I am only interested in achieving the greatest possible WLAN coverage, not in bandwidth. I already tested it and the coverage works very well for browsing the internet etc. But I get interruptions sometimes when using MS Teams for example. So the question is if it is ok to use 4 independent antennas or may be only 3 are possible. Which ports should I use then? Btw., I'm using openwrt on the devi ce. Thanks!R7800: Reset password text gets automatically changed (MAC)
Hello, I own an R7800 and recently my admin password was not accepted. I have reset all parameters using a safe password from apple password manger and confirmed the security answers for the password recovery. Now when I tried to log in again then it failed on both the log in and the password recovery. I realized that when I click on "continue" the text box of the answers gets changed by a random sentence. It changes the answer: "Barxxx" by "jQmFyY2Vsb25h". This second word I can't control and every time I log into the page it changes randomly. I assume the first "encrypted word" has been stored into the router and now I can't find it anymore. I am afraid the router has been hacked. It happened to me some weeks ago and I could completely reset the router and manage to recover everything but now I can't reset the router anymore. Can you please help? RegardsAttached Devices Not Displayed
Nighthawk x4s R7800. Functionally it seems to be functioning well, but after logging in to the router it takes a moment and shows the number of attached devices but it will not display what they are. When clicking on the "attached devices" window after it has determined the number the message is "please wait a moment" with a circling icon but it never gets past that point. Also, I tried to update the firmware from V1.0.3.92 and it won't reach out to search for the update on the internet (same endless "please wait a moment" event). Trying to load downloaded firmware on my computer, I can direct it to the file but when I try to upload it I also end up in the endless "please wait a moment" event so the firmware does not get loaded. After trying either of those routes I can back out by just pressing any other button in the menu and everything seems ok other than neither of the mentioned objectives were achieved.
