Issues streaming to twitch, using video chat is discord or anything that requires high upload
Suddenly after rebuilding some cables and attempted to set up another router for more wifi coverage my CAX80 is having issues with uploading things for video chats or when streaming. Anyone know where I can look to try and fix this? I upgraded to latest firmware but otherwise nothing else changed.Hardwired connections are fine. WiFi bounces up and down
My CAX80 has the same issue. hardwired connections are fine. WiFi bounces up and down. I tired to change a variety of settings but the save default back to factory. Is there a physical jumper and switch to enable changes to the router? Since its a WiFi only issue the issue is in the Netgear settings or bad hardware. the updates are current. bug in the Netgear WiFi software? My test connection is 2 feet away from router. any ideas? If Netgear support is online here, help.
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.Disabling this feature on my CAX80 lets the Garmin app pair successfully with my Venu3 watch
Disabling this feature on my CAX80 lets the Garmin app pair successfully with my Venu3 watch. WIth the Protection Engine on, the phone and watch are unable to pair. Disable Wi-Fi on the phone and the watch can instantly connect via Bluetooth. When connected, if you enable Wi-Fi the connection is instantly lost. After I turned off Protection Engine, all of these funky connectivity issues vanish, and the watch and phone pair succesfully over Wi-Fi.
