Network Monitor not tracking wireless with 5ghz off
As it says in the title, the OS does not recognize any data flow with 5ghz disabled. I have no need of 5ghz so I keep it off but 2.4ghz is on and my mobile is connected to it. Also, the Device Manager shows my wireless as being offline on the Network Map. What gives? If I could suggest, a simple solution to this would be to seperate the wireless into the two wavelengths. V2.2.1.10Bad Embedded Web Server
Have multiple NETGEAR WiFi routers in office. Prefer to use the office DNS to access them for obvious reasons (e.g., 'PetersWifi' instead of trying to remember IPv4/6 internal addresses like '192.168.245.22', especially since DHCP occasionaly changes the addresses). Unfortunately, calling the embedded admin page on the R7800s by name produces '404' or a bad page (a single digit, usually '0'). The R7800s work if I use the net local IP (sends me to admin login popup). All the other routers (e.g., the R6300s) work as expected regardless of using name, IPv4, or IPv6. Updated to firmware V1.0.2.28, but still fails. 90 day support (these are new routers) requests have produced nothing but a run-around, disrespect, insulting answers ('The Interenet is not available in AP mode.') and refusal to take documentation of the problem. They posted the report to the support web app with the title 'Unable to access the genie page using routerlogin.net' -- so it appears that their '2nd level support expert' doesn't understand basic networking concepts. So i turn to the community for help... anyone? * * * two WIFI access points on this network. One is called “R6300v2” and the other is called “R7800”: log onto the R6300 using its name and a browser, like so: Which gets me to the web interface: on the Nighthawk, here’s what happens: But it WORKS when I just use the IPv4 address:Bug Report: EX2700 fails to validate login email correctly
The JS that handles validation of the email address you enter on the login page for the EX2700|N300 is testing the email address string against the password regex. Due to the password length cap of 32 chars (imposed by the password regex), this means no email address over 32 chars can be used to sign in; instead an error message will just report 'Invalid username'. As the setup page doesn't suffer from the same bug, users can enter and save an email address which exceeds the password length cap yet will be unable to sign-in with it. The bug can be found on line 87 of the `login.js` script at this relative URI: js/login.js It currently is: $('#loginBt').click(function() { $('.errorMsg').remove(); if ( !$.REG_PASSWORD.test($('#userId').val()) ) { $.addErrMsgAfter('userId', invalid_username); } ... It should be: $('#loginBt').click(function() { $('.errorMsg').remove(); if ( !$.REG_EMAIL.test($('#userId').val()) ) { $.addErrMsgAfter('userId', invalid_username); } ... This will validate the email string against the regex you provide on line 21 of `js/init.js` for matching email addresses rather than the one on line 22 for validating passwords with a max length of 32 chars. P.S. While you're at it, you should change the HTML placeholder for the email field to 'Email' rather than 'Username' for the sake of clarity.
EX6200 FW:V1.0.3.68_1.1.104 AES encryption setting bug
I’m using the EX6200 as AP with the latest firmware and I’m experiencing a strange issue: Both my Macs (One IMac 09 and one MacMini12 both with OS X 10.11.1) report “a” protocol link with 5Ghz and “g” link with 2.4Ghz. In both band speed is extremely slow. I suspect that even if AES encryption is setted in the extender gui, TKIP is used. An easy proof of this is my main router reporting TKIP encryption on both EX6200 WLANs. The only way to set AES is to choose both TKIP and AES but in my opinion TKIP is better when is set off. I hope someone could forward this to developes in order to fix. Regards
