Bonjour, Routeur : R8500 Version du firmware : V1.0.2.106 Récemment abonné à une offre fibre orange j'ai des débits réduit de moité dès que je passe par le routeur R8500. Via Box Orange 900Mo environ. Via Routeur 450Mo environ Je précise que les tests son bien effectué en ethenet giga fet non via le Wifi. Le wifi de la livebox est désactivé. Schéma connexion Internet <-> LiveBox4 <-> R8500 <-> (PC, PS4 etc...) Une chose plus étrange via le test de débit du routeur je suis à 650Mo. Une idée ? Merci d'avance de votre aide.4.7KViews0likes8CommentsPossible firmware upgrades including DumaOS for older model Nighthawk routers?
What are the chances that y’all will release the DumaOS software for other Nighthawk models? I purchased a Nighthawk X8 to use with my netduma r1 router when it came out. I’d really like to be able to use all the power it came with and have the DumaOS software in a update. Has anyone heard anything on this issue?Solved11KViews1like2CommentsR8500 Security Update Failed to Install
Hello there! I keep receiving emails from Netgear regarding urgent Software Update fixes for my router, prompting me to update the firmware (my current version is V1.0.2.100_1.0.82). I did download the latest firmware version for the R8500, directly from Netgear: (https://www.netgear.com/support/product/D8500.aspx#Firmware Version 1.0.3.29) But when I try to install the file, via Netgear Genie (www.routerlogin.net) I get an error message: This firmware file is incorrect! Please get the firmware file again and make sure it is the correct firmware for this product. When I perform a Firmware Update Check via routerlogin.net, I get this message: No new firmware version available. In short, I'm stuck. Did anybody exprience a similar catch 22 situation? Are there any workarounds? Thank you in advance. MattSolved2.8KViews0likes4CommentsBridge Nighthawk routers: x8 r8500 to x10 r9000
Hi all, I just bought an upgrade r9000 (x10) from my current r8500 (x8) router due to plex and 10gbe lan. The issue I'm having is that my router is at one end of the house, and prior I used eero routers in conjunction to reach all areas of my house, but the biggest problem here is that eero sucks at having simultaneous connections, especially playing video games on 3-4 pcs! So instead of getting rid of my r8500, I was hoping to get rid of my eero. I'm hoping to use my r8500 as a bridge in the middle of the house so it extends the reach to the end of the other side. I tried #1 rated av powerline 2000 and was getting extremely low speeds vs wifi, so that was returned since it didn't work. As a bridge, wouldn't this work since both are supposedly able to transfer fast speeds (especially within lan)? I tried looking at how to bridge these two together but couldn't find anything. Help and insight would be great! Thank you!Solved6.7KViews0likes2CommentsR8500 - Unable to register router for remote access in Genie app
Unable to successfully register my R8500 router with Genie remote access. I get the prompt that my router is unregistered but when I try I get a unsuccessful error message telling me to try again later. I have been trying for weeks... On both WIndows & Mac I get the same unsuccessful message. The Netgear documentation states it can be done on iOS but nothing appears after login in the list to register. I had no issues registering the R8500 or RN212 with ReadyCLOUD. Which leads me to believe there is an issue with the Netgear Genie App. **I am in network when when trying to register and the device has been factory reset before. I have been the one and only owner of this router. I had stopped using it for a while but the bugs seem to be resolved with the WIFI so I am trying to utilize it again. Using the same email address I used when I previously registered it with.4KViews0likes6CommentsCan’t Connect to Router Configured as Wireless AP
Hello everyone. So my wireless router is set to wireless AP mode and my modem is on bridge mode, and now I cannot access the internet at all or the router settings to try and fix it. I’ve even tried plugging in an ethernet cord to try and access the router settings but nothing seems to be working and I have no idea how to fix this. If someone knows how to resolve this issue suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)Solved8.1KViews0likes2CommentsBricked R8500 - absolute worst experience
So I bought this dec 2016 and now I finally wanted to unbox it and use it. After changign the SSID - the thing bricked. Now its stuck in a endless solid amber light reboot cycle. Here is what I tried. Factory reset - NG 30/30/30 reset - NG static ip + ping + tftp - NG keeps tiiming out 1st call to support in hopes to rma this thing - spent 2.5 hours waiting only to be told i had to try the same things while they are on the phone (at this time with the wait this long I was not at home). 2nd call today - finally got through, was asked to switch power supplu to wall outlet (seriously???) then they hung up on 3rd call waiting - worst support ever, POS product (i have netgear routers from 4-5 years ago that still work fine). At this point all I want is to RMA this brick so I can have a workign one.... Seriously you ask people to spend $300 on a product and then what?Solved6.7KViews0likes15Comments
