Genie Network Map -- blue / purple lines?
We have an R7000 Nighthawk router, and although we have 6-8 wifi devices in our home, we do want to minimize wifi signals as much as possible to mitigate any possible health risks, such as not having unneeded wifi signals overnight, for example. In the Genie app Network Map, there are a lot of wifi connections shown with dashed blue / purple lines. What is the meaning of those lines? I understand they are wifi connections, but does the color indicate that they are not currently active? Are active connections always shown in green, or are some of the blue / purple lines active also? Thanks for any information!My EX7000 connections "go bad" after a while
Hi, I have an EX7000 connected to my R7000 in extender mode. However, after a day or so the devices connected to the EX7000 start having connection problems and when I try to disconnect and connect again it's not possible until I reboot the EX7000 and sometimes I have to reboot the R7000 as well before the EX7000 to get back in business. This is really annoying. I have not had problems like this with the R7000 which is rock solid. I have the latest firmware on the EX7000 and I have the connection to the R7000 on a fixed IP, 10.0.0.2. The R7000 has 10.0.0.1. The DHCP range is 100-200 so there's nothing else wanting extender address. Is this buggy firmware (I have had that kind of problem with Netgear in the past), or is it something I can do so my network stays up and running for more than 24 hours?
