X6 AC3200 R8000 as a Wi-Fi mesh extender
I've been trying to set up my Nighthawk router as a mesh extender for some time now, well ever since Frontier went from the Arris router to the eero router. Definitely no joy there. I have jumped ship from Frontier to Spectrum and am still unable to set the Nighthawk up as a mesh extender. The lack of joy continues! I have followed every bit of instruction I have been able to find to connect to the router via wired connection (laptop) and wireless connection (iPhone using the Nighthawk app and connected to the routers wi-fi signal ) and neither have worked as I continue to get the error message that the server has failed or stopped responding when accessing the following url's / web addresses. 92.168.1.250 192.168.0.1 192.168.1.1 10.0.0.1 mywifiext.com my_wifi_ext_.net In case anybody is curious or wants to ask, the entire house is pretty much a dead zone and is why I am willing to continue to use the Spectrum Wi-Fi router and set the X6 as an extender in order to be able to carry the signal throughout the house. Any assistance and suggestions on how to get the router set up as a mesh extender are greatly appreciated.R8000 380Mbs max download unless manually set Internet Bandwidth, but reverts to slow after reboot
Further to Nighthawk X6 R8000 not getting gigabit speeds | NETGEAR Communities - "https://community.netgear.com/discussions/home-wifi-routers-nighthawk/nighthawk-x6-r8000-not-getting-gigabit-speeds/1859023" . Since moving to fiber to the premises, I have 500/50 internet connection, but I can't get these speeds unless I manually: 1. enable QOS 2. disable QOS 3. "I want to define my Internet Bandwidth": <Set to your ISP's connection Download and Upload settings that you are paying for> After my router is rebooted though it seems to revert back to slow speeds. Netgear can you fix this for us please?
My r8000 will not let me put in a login name
My r8000 will not let me put in a login name. That field will not take focus. I reset the box. It took 45 seconds before the power light would flash. I input the default so there would be no confusion. I filled in the questions but on the last answer, the page would not progress, it just hung there. After a while, the page turned to checking for firmware update. After several minutes, it stated it was updated. It took me back to the page for inputting the login and password. It would not let me select questions without inputting a login and pswrd. But it would not get past the last question and then start over again with firmware update. I have tried this directly connecting to the router with Ethernet from PC and with genie on my cell. When I attempt to access the router with my cell, it states I need to go to a website to get the app. I go to that site and it says I have to go to the site to get the web app. I am only getting circles. How might I break out of this?I need to forward multiple TCP ports to a single internal port on a single host
This is an older thread, but I want to do the same thing. I need to forward multiple TCP ports to a single internal port on a single host. This router won't let me. For example: External (TCP ports 8080, 8100, 8200) -> R8000 -> Internal Host (TCP port 443). This seems like a basic router feature to me. It should also pass through the FQDN that it arrives with. The reason for this is having an NGINX Proxy Gateway that can then send the correct traffic to the correct Docker containers. Would this be possible with the Firewall instead maybe?
R8000 QOS Performance Optimization Database Not Updating
Hello, Whenever I try to update the Performance Optimization Database in the QoS, it says that it hasn't been updated, despite it from the end of 2015 (version 1.80,1.0.26 from 12/28/2015). My router has the most recent firmware update available, as shown in the picture. I had it set to automatically update before, so I didn't think about it too much. I updated my parents' R7000 to a newer firmware, and after I checked their QoS settings. They already had a newer version on the database, and when I hit the update button, their router was offered and even newer version (unfortunately, I don't have that version date or number notated). I started to research my issue when I came accross another thread about the same thing ( https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/R8000-QOS-how-do-you-set-new-applications/m-p/1244609#M51975 ) and the official response from ElaineM was that "We will be providing regular updates on the QoS database on our routers with Dynamic QoS" and "We will inform the community if it becomes available" on April 6th. I can't find any more recent info on this problem. Is the R8000 getting any more QoS Performance Optimization Database updates? Why is it currently not pulling down the current updates? When can we expect a solution to this issue? I love this router to an unreasonable degree (it helped me fix most of my network issues, has amazing Wi-Fi range, and very rarely needs any tinkering or reboots if any issues do arise), and would like to keep all aspects of it updated. Thank you for your help.
