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.CAX80 Firmware Version 5.1.1.8 Stops ALL port forwarding
Xfinity keeps updating my CAX80 firmware to 5.1.1.8, and it destroys all port forwarding ability. This is AFTER a full reset multiple times. I have to re-flash to the 2.1.5.2 firmware and port forwarding works again. Others seem to have the same issues. Is Netgear going to fix this? Or better, how can I stop Xfinity from re-flashing my firmware every few days? JeffCax80 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.
