Setting up Port Authentication w/ RADIUS on a S3300, seeing timeout erros
On the same network that I am attempting to get 802.1x working I have it working threw a GS752TP-poe and a Unifi AP to a Win VM running RADIUS. With the S3300 conneced to a computer on a secured port the RADIUS never logs any activity, however from the same securied computer ruunning a test app I do get logs on the RADIUS. Seems that from the switch to the RADIUS is the issue? Error on the S3300 log is DOT1X[126721636]: dot1x_radius.c(237) 1547 %% Failed to authenticate on logical interface [ifName not found(1408)] due to radius comm failure.

DoS attack, Teardrop or derivative, Ping of Death, strange non-DHCP IP address connected to wifi
I'm getting lots of Dos attacks logged in my C3000 modem/router. They appear to be coming from inside my network, from my wifi. I keep seeing a device attached to my wifi with an IP address of 1.1.153.128. I've block it several times, but have seen its MAC address change and it re-connects. I've since blocked all new devices from connecting through access control. I had started investigating this because we were having severe connectivity problems to the internet. Does anyone know what this rogue device might be? I suspect that it might be an iPhone connected to the wifi.

WARNING Vulnerability ID: NON-2015-0211 on my Netgear Router WNR2000v3 Please help
I scanned my MacBook with the avast antivirus and the network Scan a vulnerability which I was searching online to fix additional solution yet this is what I found on PCWorld website At first glance, sending requests to this SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) service requires an authenticated session. However, Adkins discovered that sending HTTP requests with a blank form and a “SOAPAction” header is enough to extract sensitive information from a vulnerable device. The information that can be extracted includes the administrator password; the name and access keys for the wireless networks configured on the device, and details about the device including its model, serial number and firmware version. Adkins confirmed that Netgear WNDR3700v4, WNDR3700v4, WNR2200 and WNR2500 devices are vulnerable. However, because of the flaw’s location, other devices, including WNDR3800, WNDRMAC, WPN824N and WNDR4700, might also be affected, he said. This was posted on the 16 February 2015 and today is October 22 2015 and I was just wondering if this was going to be fixed or not because I search everywhere no one has A answer to fix This I need to know please I don't want my information to be on the Hacker world. i like my netgear router but i am afraid to use it now I need to know if I need to change router Brands Thanks By the way this is the link of 1 of the few posts that talks about this vulnerability NG WNR2000v3 Vulnerability NON-2015-0211

Netgear Genie - Network Map showing strange connections
Looking at the Network Map, I see way too many connections. One from Japan, several from ARRIS (?), and one from IR(?). I have tried to research these internaly but can't find them. I can account for our phones, pads, computers, TV, etc. Have I been hacked? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to change the router's MAC address
Hello, I want to change the MAC address for my Netgear Nighthawk router. I do not see any option for this in the router's configuration menu. I know that this is possible with other Netgear routers. Would anyone please tell me how to do this? Thank you.

Netgear R7000 as repeater
I have a home wifi, provided by a from a non-Netgear modem/router. I want to extend the range of the wifi so that it reaches the other side of the house, and avoid the use of cables. As I have a R7000 router which I am not using at the moment (and I just upgraded to the latest firmware), I thought on putting this in the repeating mode. However, I am having 2 issues: I can only select repeating mode if I have disabled wifi security first. So, anyone will be able to connect to the extended network. When I configure the repeating, I can select the MAC of the base router, but there is no place to select the details of the wifi that the repeater has to connect to. As a result, after selecting repeating mode, I cannot connect to the Internet. Not only that, but I can no longer connect to the R7000 router, so I can only reset again to factory defaults and start again. Is there any way in which I can use a R7000 router to extend my wifi without laying cables all around my house? I used to have a $10 repeater that did this (albeit it was a bit slow).

What is the difference between medium and low firewall security?
I would like to know what the difference is between the high, medium and low firewall settings in my router. Background - Earlier this year Telstra (Australia) upgraded my wifi router. I cannot be sure but perhaps from that time I stopped being able to connect with the Steam gaming servers. The message "steam cannot connect to steam servers" kept coming up preventing updates for my games. This forced me into playing offline, which was ok for a while. Recently I acquired another Steam game but was stopped from installing it, receiving the above error. After some searching I've found that there are many potential blockers for these games, such as virus and malware programs and firewall settings (operating system and router). The solution I found was to lower my router's firewall security level from medium to low - I'm now back in business. So, what actually happens when you make such a change and does this leave me more vulnerable to attack?
