bandwidth
8 Topicsrealtime bandwidth monitoring by device
It would be great if you could see realtime bandwidth per device for the netgear r7000, similar to Google Wifi and Eero. It would be a really useful info and diagnostic tool to see what devices are currently taking up bandwidth. It would be great if this was added to the router web administration page as well theNetgear Genie and/or Netgear Up apps. I've attached a screenshot of how this feature looks on Google Wifi.26KViews93likes15CommentsIs there a way to control the other IPs on the Router / Switches?
Is there a way to control the other IPs on the Router / Switches? Such as, limiting the bandwidth speed or how much they can download or upload. Appreciate anyones help. Maybe there is some software out there, I can't find one. I checked out NetLimter, but I think it is limited.578Views0likes1CommentWireless Performance Mixing AC3000 / AC2200
Current system: RBK50 (claims up to 5,000sq ft) coverage. FW v1.12.0.18 Home: 2 story 2,600sq ft, nothing significant from a construction or interference stand point. RBR50 on first floor left side of house. RBS50 on second floor middle of structure. While the orbi has improved sustained throughput to most wireless devices, its signal does not deliver (not even close) to the theoretical sq footage estimate. This was the primary reason for the purchase and is for the most part largely disappointing. I'd rate it at 2,500sq ft maximum. I'm not going through bricks, metal or glass (nothing crazy). Have messed withthe MIMO and beamforming settings as well. Sorry netgear, fail thus far. I'm really not interested in purchasing another RBS50 for $250 when the current broadcast performace is only marginally better in comparison to a WNDR4500 or R6400 that served the house previously. I expected a little bit more from a signal (broadcast) perspective. Comparitively, the R7000 at my other house does better broadcast (signal) wise. New FW: So I see Netgear has v2.x FW available which I am going to try later today. I'll try turning the broadcast power to 10 and see if things improve. We have no neighbors so I won't be "unfriedly" from that perspective. Now my question. If I put a RBW30 (AC2200) in the "mostly dead" room - which happens to be the room directly above where the RBR50 is now... what will this do to the systems throughput? Please, before everyone replies with their speculation (or what they think) please be certain or have something concrete to backup your answer. Network bandwidth whether maximum or theoretical (in a wireless specific situation) can be affected by a device with slower front/backhaul. In this case a AC2200 sattelite on the AC3000 network. Thus far, I haven't found any documention that answers this question. Great if the AC2200 opearates "isolated" without affecting the entire networks bandwidth, but I'd like to get confirmation on this before investing further in this solution. I hope the v2 FW will improve the broadcast signal strength, as this is my only real complain with the orbi. Throughput is there, I just don't want to shoot myself in the foot and cripple what I have. Wish the SRK60 was available when I purchased the RBK50. I would have gladly spent the additional money.SolvedNetgear R7800 ethernet port speed max 100Mbps
Is about a Nighthawk(R) X4S R7800 firmware version V1.0.2.40 Although a gigabith ethernet connection from the modem is connected to the wan port and a gigabit switchport is connected to ethernet LAN port 1, both show a maximum of 100Mb. Also the connected Gigabit switch port shows a maximum of 100Mb. (connecting other gigabit devices on the switcvh port show a 1Gbps speed) According to the specs , the ethernet ports of the R7800 are 1Gbps. What can be the cause that the bandwidth is max 100Mbps ? router status / internetport statistics:Solved9.8KViews0likes2CommentsAmazon Cloud Sync - Bandwidth Utilization Setting
The R9000 Nighthawk X10 comes with a complimentary 6 months Amazon cloud back up subscription. however the settings page on the router UI is massively basic...it only has an option for continous back up of your files to/fro the amazon cloud servers with no way to control how much bandwwidth that feature gobbles up. if you have a fast network and huge bandwidth allowance, you wont notice the effect the feature has on your internet speed my observation is that the R9000 does not prioritise bandwidth allocation and if you have a small internet bandwidth you will wonder why your internet is slow Feature request Netgear, please update the router UI with a bandwidth allocation feature so users can set a limit to how much data bandwidth in percentage % and absolute terms the router can use for the cloud back up10KViews0likes0CommentsN300 WiFi Range Extender taking up all my bandwidth.
I called my isp to complain about slow internet speeds, they looked up my usage and all that jazz. Literally 99% of my bandwidth was being taken up by the extender uploading something. At the time i was closer to the router so I was connected directly to its signal, not the extender. So even with nothing connected to the extender at the time, it was still managing to hog all of the bandwitdh. ...... I change the password frequently, but again, there were no devices connected to it at the time, so its not an issue of others logging on and downloading or uploading or w.e., Any ideas on how to get this fixed? Yes malware scans have been done etc etc.3.6KViews0likes3Comments
