We have a few WAC720 AP's controlled by a WC7500 Wireless controller. So far I have: Performed a hard reset to the AP (holding button down for 10/15seconds) I can only use Putty to conect to the AP via the console port. The state of the AP LED's: power - solid green activity - no light network/lan: no light Thoughts, has anyone found a work arround for this AP? Thanks :)13Views0likes0CommentsHome Account should be Business
Does anybody know how to contact Netgear when you have an admin problem (not tech support). For several years I have emailed different people (sales, support etc) asking why my account is setup as a Home account when it should be a Business Account. I never get a reply. That means that every invoice that I get from Netgear Ireland has VAT on it which I cannot reclaim because it is an Irish VAT number. It should be dealt with under the reverse charge procedure and have no VAT added. So far I cannot find and point of contact to deal with mundane issues such as this but it is costing me money every time I have to renew a support contract and it stops me buying anything direct from Netgear. I am about to spend a few thousand pounds on new Wireless Access Points and I'm seriously thinking of using a different product. Thanks for any help.27Views0likes2CommentsWAX615 Mehrere APs als quasi Mesh nutzen
Hallo Zusammen, ich habe zwei WAX615 APs und möchte dies noch um einen dritten evtl. sogar vierten erweitern um bspw. die verschiedenen Ebenen/Bereiche einer Immobilie abzudecken: AP1 = Paterre AP2 = Garage AP3 = Garten AP4 = 1. Stock Genutzt werden drei verschiedene SSIDs und Einstellungen: SSID mit nur 5GHz Sendekanal für AP1 40/5,2 GHz Sendekanal für AP2 48/5,24GHz PMF 802.11w optional Band Steering / 802.11 k/v aktiviert SSID mit nur 2,4GHz (Auto Kanal einstellung) PMF 802.11w optional Band Steering / 802.11 k/v aktiviert Gast-SSID mit beiden Frequenzen PMF 802.11w optional Band Steering / 802.11 k/v deaktiviert Allgemein Einstellungen: QoS ist für alle Frequenzen mit WMM und WMM Powersave aktiviert Spannung Tree Protocol aktiviert Network Integrity Check aktiviert IGMP Snooping deaktiviert Ethernet LLDP aktiviert UPnP aktiviert Powersetting 802.3at Load Balancing aktiviert Force Sticky Client ti disassociate deaktiviert Leider war die Anleitung da für mich nicht sehr hilfreich, daher wäre meine Frage: Was wäre die optimalen Einstellungen um die selben SSIDs auf allen APs quasi wie ein Mesh zu benutzen ohne die Insight App zu nutzen und Lokal zu konfigurieren?

We are experiencing significant performance degradation with our Netgear wireless network. The speed tests are consistently lower than expected, and large file transfers are painfully slow. Are there any recommended configurations or firmware updates to improve performance?"698Views0likes1CommentWireless Access Point comparison between the WAX Range (WAX218, WAX220, WAX610, WAX620 & WAX630)
Greeting Netgear Community, I would like to seek your advice and knowledge regarding setting up my home WIFI connection. I am based in Melbourne and recently moved into a two-story house. Previously I've been using the Telstra Router with WIFI function for about 7-10 years and thought it was about time for an upgrade (my partner keeps complaining that the WIFI is slow where it can take up to 16 hours to perform updates on the PlayStation console). NOTE: The game requires an update every month I am looking to mount these WAPs on the ceiling where they are out of sight but provide high-level WIFI coverage. I've read some reviews and the following WAPs were recommended however I'm struggling to determine the differences between these WAPs: - WAX218 - WAX220 - WAX610 - WAX620 - WAX630 I'm aware that the WAX600 range offers Insight Manage Subscription however given that this is primarily home use, I don't think I will need this subscription package. I am looking WAP that meets the following requirements: - Currently, I have between 30 to 50 devices connected - High transfer speeds for NAS Streaming and file copying - Good coverage around the house - Single SSID WIFI and password (devices only connect to one SSID around the house) - WAP that offers future proofing (something that will last for another 7 to 10 years) without much maintenance I plan to get the house hard-wired up, where all the network cables will terminate in my study room. NOTE: My study room has a Server rack where I plan to purchase a 24x Port switch and an 8x Port POE switch (any recommendations on the model would be appreciated) Thank you in Advance Regards San4.2KViews0likes2CommentsHelp with providing reliable Wi-Fi for church campus that has a barely working environment
Project summary I am working with my church to upgrade their painfully slow 25 Mbps ISP service to T-Mobile small business. I currently have T-Mobile's home service at my house and consistently connect to 5G N41 at an average 350+ Mbps. I took my Sagemcom gateway to the church office and the service worked as expected with an even better 400+ Mbps speed. Cellmapper.net shows a T-Mobile 5g tower directly across the street from the property so that kind of makes sense. 1. Scenario: Provide reliable Wi-Fi for church campus 2. Traffic Demands: a) Basic demands: Surf the internet, send emails, play music, etc. b) High-traffic demands: Facebook livestream of Sunday service, Voice meetings, HD video, online collaboration tools, Surroundings As far as the property itself, we have 3 primary buildings in a triangle configuration. One small business office (approx 1500 sq ft) on the left side of the property where the ISP connection is located. The main church building (approx 9k sq ft) is in the middle of the property about 125 ft away from the office. The gym (approx 12k sq ft) is on the back side of the property about 150 ft away from the office. The main issue we are having is getting any Wi-Fi connectivity into the gym. There is no ethernet connectivity in the gym because the interior walls are thick steel with which we've been unsuccessful drilling through. The other issue is the environment has just been thrown together haphazardly with no real continuity or planning a proper infrastructure. We have small home routers sitting in odd places and no one knows the logins to the web GUI or even what they are actually doing. 1. Office 35.190590, -89.837631 Approx. total area: 1500 sq ft Construction: Vinyl siding with interior drywall AT&T wireless gateway for 25 Mbps isp in middle office. Considering moving to T-Mobile Small Biz 5G ISP - 300-400 Mbps One Netgear Gs305p POE switch in middle office 5 offices all connected via CAT 5e(?) though the Netgear switch. 2. Sanctuary 35.190392, -89.837218 Distance from office to sanctuary: 125 ft Approx. total area: 9000 sq ft Construction: Cinder block One Belkin F5D9230-4 MIMO router upstairs behind baptismal. One Netgear Gs305p POE switch in control room One Ubiquiti UAP-AC-Pro access point in control room Several ethernet drops available, I believe. 3. Gym 35.190901, -89.837340 Distance from office to middle of gym: 150 ft Approx. total area: 12,000 sq ft Construction: Outer walls are cinder blocks, Inner walls are thick steel, Roof is standard steel with a foam insulation covering. Unable to penetrate thick steel firewall so no ethernet or WiFi currently available. Would roof access work for an outdoor AP? Then I guess we'd use indoor APs to provide the interior connectivity? Number of clients Wireless clients max of about 100+ on Sundays. Maybe 25-50 during the week. We also have 8 IP based cameras and 2 VOIP office phones. Please note that as a small church congregation, we do not have the funds for a full enterprise level network design and the hardware that goes along with one. We just need the network to be reliable and work properly! Any suggestions or comments would be MOST appreciated!1.1KViews0likes1CommentCompatible PoE Wireless Access Points for WAX202 acting as router
My current setup is a WAX202 (WAX202-100NAS) AP set up as a router. The other half side of my house has weak signal, I would like to purchase an access point that is strictly PoE so I can do a network drop on the other side of my house to this AP, this drop will not have access to a DC power outlet and must be strictly PoE for this AP. What products are compatible and you guys would recommend so I can do this? Thank you for all the assistance, I have been looking around and unable to find products anyone recommends.
