realtime bandwidth monitoring by device
It would be great if you could see realtime bandwidth per device for the netgear r7000, similar to Google Wifi and Eero. It would be a really useful info and diagnostic tool to see what devices are currently taking up bandwidth. It would be great if this was added to the router web administration page as well theNetgear Genie and/or Netgear Up apps. I've attached a screenshot of how this feature looks on Google Wifi.Cannot ping Router WAN port from NetGear Switch
Hi, Everyone, I have a managed NetGear Switch M4350. The set up is easy, as follows. Host PC 10.10.10.9, there is only one VLAN on switch (10.10.10.1), and every port is its member. Router is a random consumer router with WAN port set with static ip 10.10.10.102, and it has port forwarding to a LAN device. The router allows ping on the WAN port. However, I could still not ping 10.10.10.102 with the NetGear Switch. I tried: ping WAN port of the router from PC with PC directly connected to the router -> works ping another static IP static 10.10.10.103 from switch -> works swap the switch with an unmanaged switch and ping 10.10.10.102 from PC -> works change the router to another model, do the same configuration -> ping doesn't work So for me it really feels like the combination of the router WAN port and managed switch makes pinging not work. Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks in advance!
R8000 Firmware
Per NetGear social media, we are supposed to suggest the below idea here. My idea, as crazy as it sounds, is that Netgear continue to support their R8000 devices. I know, sounds insane but hear me out. People spent hundreds of dollars on a product featuring the "latest tri-band wifi" technology. Now instead of leaving them hanging with a big security exploit for two months, device issues and a feature release stall, Netgear should develop a new robust firmware. Ideally it would be one that wouldn't encourage them to go out and try questionable 3rd party firmwares. That means, it should be competitive (feature wise) with those 3rd parties while fixing ongoing issues highlighted in the forums. Benefits: 1. Happy customers who don't feel like they wasted money and are not stranded with a reletively up to date tech, that lacks manufacture support, features and security. 2. See #1 above. I think it deserves reiteration. Facts 1. product saw less than 18 months of firmware releases and developer support. 2. Nearly 9 months have past since the last firmware update (as of 8/31/2016). 3. June 2016: security notice suggested disabling of features due to security exploit. 4. 2 month later, June 2016 security exploit is still unpatched, leaving customers exposed. 5. There are no Nighthawk products listed on the NetGear EoL page, including the R8000. 6. The product is still available through online and big-box retailers.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."Router D1500 chiusura porte , avast antivirus segnalazione
Salve a tutti, volevo chiedervi un informazione, ho un software antivirus avast, quando vado a fare il wi-fi inspector mi segnala che il router accessibile da internet , il dispositivo presenta delle porte aperte rivolte verso internet "soluzione " chiudere la porta aperta ,(mi indica un un numero) nelle impostazione del dispositivo ,ho provato a smanettare nelle impostazione del router, ma non trovo nulla, forse su questo modello non si può fare?Si tratta di un falso positivo, ?Ci sono delle soluzione per risolvere il problema? Grazie Buona giornataEinstellungen auf unterschiedliche Routertypen übertragen
Wäre es nicht extrem nützlich, wenn man die nicht Typ-spezifischen Einstellungen zwischen unterschiedlichen Nighthawk-Router-Modellen übertragen könnte? Dazu würde ich z. B. die komplette Internet-, WLAN-, LAN-Konfiguration zählen. Wenn potenzielle Käufer wüssten, dass Sie wenig Aufwand beim Austausch bzw. der Einrichtung des neuen Routers hätten, wäre das doch ein Kaufgrund mehr für Netgear-Router. :) Da die meisten wahrscheinlich alle drei Jahre (oder in kürzeren Zyklen) den Router austauschen, würde Netgear seiner Userbasis damit einen riesigen Gefallen tun. :)
Home server on Orbi?
Not sure model is correct. My login says RBR50, but it is both router and satelilte... Anyway, I am trying to create a server for my ALL Mac home so that I can have one location for all my music on laptop/ipad/desktop. Is it possible to connect one to the Orbi router, and if so, does it need to be another Mac or computer or can it just be a harddrive? I have a 10 year old Mac Mini with 10.6 software and all my current ones are 10.13.x TIA, Jeff
