Problem with port forwarding not working on my CAX80 connected to Xfinity.
I was having the same problem with port forwarding not working on my CAX80 connected to Xfinity. After double and triple checking for errors on my part I checked the web for a solution and found your post. Sure enough, after reverting to FW 2.1.5.2 port forwarding works, and Xfinity breaks it again overnight. It looks like nobody is interested in actually fixing the problem.
CAX80 No internet via WIFi but no problem with RJ45
I have problem with both of my Netgear units. This morning i woke-up and my cellphone said no internet via wifi, I checked on computer with wire plug been connected directly to CAX80 and i have no problem connecting to Internet. I also have EAX80 and it also has wifi problems when i connect via WiFi to it that is attached to CAX80 I restarted(FEW) times and factory resetted both units, still same problem. i changed DNS/NTP from Comcast to google and other open-DNS-servers and it didn't help. i callled to Comcast they said not problems at all..... I checked EAX80 via friend house(walking, attaching it his router) and it has no problems at all working and connecting devices via WiFi i connected via app and it shows as i'm working offline(when it's working via wire)No Access Control on my CAX80 Gateway
Evidently Netgear has moved access control to the Nighthawk app. I'll be damned if I can find it. Does anybody know if and/or where access control can be maintained in the Nighthawk app. I have seen posts, don't remember where I saw them, that alluded to access control being somewhere in smart parental controls. I personally have no need for smart parental controls; my kids are grown and living on their own. I just want to control connections to the gateway.CAX80 5Ghz service hangs
Hello I installed a CAX80 a few months ago, generally working very well. Twice since installation, the 5 Ghz service hangs. Direct LAN service continues to work, as does 2.4Ghz service. The 5Ghz LED stops blinking and is just solidly on. A power-cycle resolves the issue, but as I said sooner or later it seems to recur. Running the latest firmware 5.1.1.8. connection status shows as green. Any ideas please Ben
