Netgear C7000v2 USB Not showing NAS (Network Attached Storage)
I have a c7000v2 Netgear router/modem. I am trying to install a NAS to the USB port located at the top of the router. I have a 64 Gig Flash drive plugged in. When I log into the router, the Genie software runs. At the home tab the USB Icon in the middle of the second row shows a green READY notation. When I click on the USB icon/button it takes me to a second screen showing USB Storage (Basic Settings). Basic radio button is pushed. Network/Device name is listed as \\readyshare. Available Network Folders has NO DEVICE LISTED. Buttons EDIT and Safely Remove USB Device are AVAILABLE. (When no Flash drive in USB Port these buttons are not available.) Under the Advanced Tab/Advanced Setup/USB Settings I have Enable any USB Device connected to the USB port YES. When I click on Approved Devices I see my USB Drive name listed under Available Devices Device Name Is Generic USB Storage and space is 60 gig. I selected it with the radio button and added it to the Approved Devices List. The Allow Only Approved Devices check box IS NOT CHECKED. These Setting have been saved. After all of this and pressing Refresh a couple of times after a few minutes, the Basic Settings still DOES NOT LIST MY DEVICE. I cannot find this device on my network although with windows I can see \\readyshare available under NETWORKS. However clicking on it shows nothing and I cannot copy anything to it. The Flash drive is formatted NTFS and there are a couple of folders created at the root level. Any help getting my flash drive to show up in the USB Basic settings I feel would correct the problem but I cannot figure out what else to do. Any help would be GREATLY APPREIATED. REGARDS and THANKS FOR READING and RESPONDING.Cannot update firmware on C7000v2. Cannot change timezone.
Bear with me, as I will provide all the details of the steps I've taken to remedy this issue (that I genuinely think there may not be a solution to). Today, I setup a used Nighthawk AC1900 (C7000v2) with Spectrum ISP. All went swimmingly, but where I began to run into issues is through the Nighthawk app throwing "firmware needs to be updated, proceed to routerlogin.net", and blocking me from utilizing the app. Following the link to routerlogin.net led me to page that implied I wasn't connected to the router (I was). As an alternative, I accessed Netgear Genie via gateway IP address. I noticed that the firmware was a good bit out of date, but I was not getting thrown a "firmware update available" message. I read through many other threads that: This is likely the most recent firmware that Spectrum supports, and that I may be at a dead end it's possible that the timezone of my router is not appropriately set As there's not a whole lot I can do about Item A, I worked to resolve Item B. Found some videos online implying that the way to change this timezone setting is through Advanced->Security->Schedule (or Email in some cases). In all of those videos, there is a timezone dropdown at the bottom of either the Schedule or Email section. In my case, the screen looks near identical to those videos, EXCEPT there is no Timezone modifier. HOWEVER, I notice in the Schedule section that it provides a static current time line that reads 1 hour behind my actual current time. I've attached screenshots of the Schedule and Email sections of Genie for reference. So, Netgear Gang, I have two questions here: Am I completely out of luck updating firmware until Spectrum magically decides to support something more recent than v1.02.09? And with that, am I doing myself a disservice/killing my speeds in long run by even using the Nighthawk? HOW CAN I CHANGE THE TIME ZONE?!?!?!? I'll tag a few folks that I've seen respond to other threads regarding this matter: plemans FURRYe38 Thanks in advance to anyone who responds, PatrickNo connection to C6300v2
My xfinity wifi signal is strong but I essentially cannot use it right now. I’m unable to connect to my cable modem, I can’t login to the Nighthawk app (get a “logon timed out” message no matter what), and when I did a factory reset and new setup, the app still tells me it cannot find my device. I get a “WiFi not detected” even when my device is technically on the wifi network.C7800 router firmware wont update, Outlook has trouble synchronizing with microsoft exchange
My Nighthawk Cable Modem Router C7800 won't give me the option to update the firmware. It tells me it's outdated in my nighthawk app, but then won't give me the option to update in router settings. I've updated my time zone as someone else suggested. That did not work for me and getting an update. Mediacom says they can't update it and Netgear says the ISP has to push it. I'm not having real connectivity issues except for when I work from home my outlook app does not communicate with Microsoft Exchange freely and freezing every 5-10 minutes. That may be a separate issue, but either way would like both resolved. Any potential solutions would be great.Netgear Nighthawk CAX80 + 1.2Gbps Xfinity Internet + Windows 11 Home + Driver version 22.160.0.4
Modem + Router: Netgear Nighthawk CAX80 ISP: Xfinity Comcast 1.2Gbps OS: Windows fully updated to Windows 11 Home 22H2 Device firmware/hardware has been fully updated from Lenovo Vantage + individually from Lenovo's recommended driver download page. WiFi speed tests always show no more than 150_down and 40_up >> back on my old router I was getting 400-500mbps when my Xfinity Comcast Internet was at 800Mbps. Is anyone else having this issue? or is it isolated to my device crapping out in about a year.. I've played around with a lot of systems/network adapters/etc.. settings, but does anyone have any recommendations on preferred settings to get my WiFi speed test results to be 500mbps+? Even though my speed looks slow it it definitely doesn't act like it and I got a pretty decked-out device.. the speedtest just keeps giving me doo doo results. ThanksCasaOS Pi Hole docker Configuration on C7000v2 Router Modem
I own a Netgear C7000v2 and connected to it is a Raspberry Pi 4b 8GB PC running CasaOS and Pi Hole as a docker. Here is the configuration problem I am experiencing. To allow Pi Hole docker to block ads at a network wide level I need it to take over DHCP Server duties. So this requires I disable the DHCP server in the Netgear Genie app (see RED circled text in JPG below). However, when I disable it and hit "APPLY" the router displays the message below: "Please change your computer IP address manually if LAN IP subnet will be changed" When I hit the OK button for the message shown above the result is I lose all internet connection. The only option I have left after this happens is to perform a Factory Reset operation on the router. My question is, how do I disable the Netgear Genie DHCP Server parameter without losing internet access? I have performed a total of 5 factory resets on my router. So I hope somebody in this community can help me so I can stop performing Factory Resets on my router. 🙂 My goal is to setup Pi Hole at a local area network so that all devices are automatically protected against unwanted ads and tracking. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
