WNA 3100 Adapter Windows 10 Pro Failure
I understand that there is an issue with detecting the USB adapter when on Windows 10 during the installation which has been solved. I just finished building my PC and currently using Windows 10 Pro. I’ve tried tutorials to fix it but I can’t follow all the steps that are shown as they’re using the regular windows 10. Please help.Nighthawk M1 Linux RNDIS / USB Connectivity Issues After Latest Firmware Update
So after a Firmware update (either Telstra or Netegar, not sure who is the culprit!) on the Nighthwak M1, USB tethering connectitvity stopped for Linux-based OSs (excluding MAC OS of course). Tested on Ubuntu / Debian etc. Big thanks to Uebernerd (Post 135 on https://community.netgear.com/t5/Mobile-Routers-Hotspots-Modems/Netgear-810-update/m-p/1251948 ) In short, Linux does not pick up the correct bConfigurationValue for cdc_ether (it sets it as "1" and not "3"), which stops tethering from working. Instead of using my two Nighthawk M1s as doorstops, I have managed to get them back up and running. The following script can be modified to monitor dmesg (throw in a "while" etc.): #!/bin/bash usb_port=`dmesg | grep MR1100 | egrep -o '[0-9]+\-[0-9]+'` if [ "$usb_port" != "" ]; then echo 3 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/$usb_port/bConfigurationValue fi Obviously this will require running with super-user privileges. It's a cludgy workaround, so if anyone knows how to make this more permanent, please feel free to respond to this post! Cheers
No more recessed USB ports
I've had two USB thumb drives overheat and crash (consistantly). Here are the model numbers: 1.) A super-mini thumb drive by Lexmark (32GB, USB3.0 JumpDrive S45 - LJDS45-32GABEU (I liked the low profile, but it clearly couldn't dissipate heat as the USB port on the R9000 is recessed... 2.) A longer thumb drive by Sandisk that has a metal housing (32GB USB3.0 Ultra Flair SDCZ73-032G) which I thought could dissipate heat, but it just can't... The only solution to this is a USB extension cable. NetGear's KnowledgeBase regarding "tested USB drives" is terribly short, and woefully incomplete: https://kb.netgear.com/18985/Will-my-USB-drive-work-with-ReadySHARE (it refers to the "SanDisk 64GB" as being compatible, but it DOES NOT give the model number like it does for every other device listed) The R9000's two USB3.0 ports are positioned under the router's overhanging plastic chasis. This does not allow for heat to disapate from the pen drives, which become too hot to touch. I recomend that future models have the USB ports flush with the router's outermost walls.Non riesco a configurare un hard disk USB collegato a Netgear EX7000 per accesso con Nvidia Shield
Sto cercando di estendere la mia rete domestica con un hard disk USB di Western Digital da 6TB, che ho collegato alla porta USB del Netgear EX7000 , che ho configurato in modalità Access Point (versione firmware V1.0.0.50_1.0.102). Il drive funziona correttamente con entrambi i miei pc desktop, che utilizzano Windows 10, mentre non riesco a montare il drive per utilizzarlo come spazio storage esterno del mio Nvidia Shield Tv box. Nei settaggi del mio Nvidia Shield il drive USB viene elencato come storage disponibile con il nome "Readyshare", ma quando provo a montarlo in modo da utilizzarlo con i miei file (ho provato sia come utente registrato sia come ospite) ottengo sempre in risposta un messaggio che dice che username e/o password non sono corretti. Il drive USB non è protetto da password, coem specificato nell'area amministrazione dell'EX7000,perciò ho provato a inserire diverse combinazioni di username e password standard, come admin/admin, admin/password, admin/1234 e anche le stesse credenziali che utilizzo per gestire l'EX7000, ma nessuna funziona. Ho anche cercato di trovare il modo di creare un account e una password ad hoc all'interno dell'area di gestione dell'EX7000, ma l'unica opzione disponibile sembra essere quella di proteggere con una password la lettura e/o la scrittura sul drive USB collegato, mentre non sembra esserci la possibilità di specificare lo username e la password da utilizzare, come sono riuscito a fare, per esempio, con il NAS WD BookLiveDuo, che funziona perfettamente con Nvidia Shield. Tra l'altro, attivando la protezione con password dell'hard disk collegato all'EX7000, il drive non è più accessibile dai miei pc desktop. Al momento, non ho idea di quali ulteriori tentativi potrei fare per cercare una soluzione al problema. Ogni suggerimento, quindi, sarà il benvenuto. Grazie in anticipo per l'aiuto. Di seguito lo screenshot della pagina di gestione della porta USB del mio EX7000, con la configurazione attuale.
Connecting router to external USB drive
I'm trying to add my external USB HD to the router and am running into a few problems: 1) I don't know if I can use it to backup via Time Machine or only for additional storage? I followed the Time Machine guide to partition the USB drive. I'd like to be able to store backups on it. Is this possible? 2) I attached the USB drive to my router and reach the point to connect to server and keep getting an error that my MacBook cannot connect. I opened Genie and everything is good, so I'm unsure as to what the problem is. MacBook Pro Late 2011 macOS High Sierra 10.13 Just updated Genie to 2.4.26 Any help appreciated. Thanks.
