Using Nighthawk web app to turn off wireless radios
I'm trying to turn off the wireless radios on my CAX80 using the Nighthawk web app. The support chat system says I should go to Advanced > Setup > Wireless Setup and then "Uncheck the Enable Wireless Router Radio checkbox for the desired band." However, there is no "Enable Wireless Router Radio" checkbox to uncheck. Can the web app still be used to disable the wireless radios on this model? Web app version is V5.1.1.8.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)Poor cable connection error message
I have Xfinity internet service. I have the Netgear CAX80 router/modem that I own. This was recommended by Xfinity. I read in the forums that the incoming speed is to fast for the router/modem? I am confused by this and don't understand why Xfinity would tell me to purchase something that doesn't work? My home computer and streaming on the TV in the living room, the speeds are fine, no issues or problems. Netflix on the TV in the bedroom is a little slow to load, but this works off of a wifi mesh system. Do I need to add a splitter to split the internet cable coming into the router/modem when I'm not having issues? I'm not a gamer so not sure why this would be an issue. thanks. Brian See stats from admin page below. thanks for any help.Every month I have to reconfigure the CAX80
Mine is different; every month, the CAX80 internet connection must stop, and then will require a password change. I have been having the same problem for 4 months. Every month I have to reconfigure the CAX80. This month is twice. I am tired. Is frustrating. I have called and spoken with their customer support/ technician unit 4 times, and I still have the same problem every month. The problem is that it has been more than four months since I purchased this CAX80, so I can't return or replace it.Cax80 Astound 1gig plan, intermittent downstream flashing led
Installed a cax80 on Astound/RCN. Ast made the changes, up and running but very frequent drops and dowmstream led flashing. Tech came, found many problems with cables from pole to modem. He changed everything, added a -12 attenuator when done and signal was perfect. His test and router admin page matched, good signal numbers. Still flashing downstream led, off and on, again in a few mins. Latest firmware. My isp does not update the firmware on the cax80. I see lots of code 24,16 in the logs. What can i do? Tech support wont help unless i pay them, a lot. Thanks for any suggestions. I have tried everything i have found. Thought thenewcoax would fix this. It fixed the signal but i still have the issue.CAX 80 injecting malformed TCP RSTs
I have a CAX80 that appears to be actively interfering with and terminating encrypted TLS connections by injecting malformed TCP Reset (RST) packets. This occurs even with the following disabled: IPv4 Firewall DoS Protection SIP ALG Protection Engine Is there somewhere else I'm missing? A little context: I've noticed this happen on occasion when using OpenVPN AS web interface, as I admin my company's VPN at times. But it was only an occasional nuisance. Now I'm working with an AI agent, and I have to constantly retry due to this, upwards of 20-30 times sometimes, which also causes the agent to lose track of what is was in the middle of doing, but eventually the retry will work. However, if I create an SSH tunnel, and launch the agent that way, it works flawlessly (presumably because the tunnel is masking some signature from the router that causes it to insert these packets, i.e., it's not watching traffic over tcp:22, but is doing so over tcp:443). tcpdumps taken from my laptop connected to the CAX80 show the following signature: A TCP RST (Reset) packet is received. The RST packet contains 6 bytes of zero-filled payload (00 00 00 00 00 00). Standard TCP RST packets should have a 0-byte payload. The TTL (Time To Live) of these RST packets is 102, while the remote server (daily-cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com) packets arrive with TTL ~118. This proves the packets are generated locally by the CAX80, not the remote server. Some of the behaviors I've observed through the tcpdumps: With Protection Engine enabled: Connection is reset immediately. With everything disabled: Connection hangs for a few seconds, then is flooded with the exact same 6-byte RST packets (TTL 102). So is this just a firmware/hardware bug at this point? Or is there something else I'm missing that needs to be disabled for it to stop injecting these RSTs? The only other thing I can think of is to put the thing in bridge mode, then go buy a different wi-fi router.CAX80 vs CBK752 for Xfinity
As title says, I’m in an unfortunate location where only Xfinity Internet is available with up to 1.2Gbps service being the highest offering. I currently run CAX30 with an EAX80 extender for our single floor 1,300 sq fr apartment. Was wondering if upgrading CAX30 to CAX80 would provide a better performance or would going the Orbi route work CBX752 (essentially a cable modem/wireless router and a satellite) would be the best performing out of the two. If anyone has a real-life experience with either setup, please share it. Thank you!
