Reset DCHP Warning on Power Light After Fault has cleared
WAX214 Firmware Version: V1.0.2.3 This unit displays a blinking amber power light if contact with the DHPC service is lost. The problem is the power light continues to blink amber even if the DHPC service is restored which means it can indicate the error long after it has gone. There are many reasons the DHPC service could go down temporarily, for instance a device updating on the network infrastructure, so it would make sense if the Power Indicator returned to the normal green state once connection to the DHCP service is restored. Additionally it would be helpful if this error could appear in the devices error log.Do NOT region lock devices
So I recently bought an Netgear WAX206 through the Amazon Canada store, but the wireless controls are region locked to United States with no option for me to change this. I understand the reasoning that you want to make it easier for the customer and potentially not break any laws by broadcasting out of range wireless signals, but this is poor design. I don't know what steps can be done now to unlock the region setting so I can select Canada. It also causes a problem for resale as well. Can you please resolve this issue. Thanks!Display connected speeds of clients
After installing pfSense in my home, I recently replaced my Netgear XR500 with a WAX206. While I love the functionality I get of seeing connected clients while in AP mode (a function I lost on XR500) I would like to see a column added of the wifi speeds and possibly a column for the operation mode of the connected client. IE +---+-----------------+-------------+-----------=-----+ | # | Connection Type | Device Name | Speed | PHY | +---+-----------------+-------------+-----------+-----+ | 1 | Wireless | Client 1 | 866/866 | AC | | 2 | Wireless | Client 2 | 1200/1200 | AX | | 3 | Wireless | Client 3 | 600/600 | AN | | 4 | Wireless | Client 4 | 300/300 | GN | +---+-----------------+-------------+-----------+-----+WAX - attach Guest SSID to a VLAN
Hi, when I'm using the Guest Network chekbox in Wireless Setting - Access Point, VLAN Isolation is disabled. This is quite limiting in network designs. It would be great if the firmware allowed to assign Guest Networks to specific VLANs. My actual case now is with WAX214, but I understand this intended and is applicable to other Wifi AP models, too. Thanks, JoNeed a new INsight business router faster than 1GB (min 10) with fiber ports and all the VPN option
