Kabelverbindung zwischen Router und Satelliten unterstützen
Einer der Vorteile von Orbi ist die drahtlose Verbindung zwischen Router und Satelliten. Auch diese wird jedoch in mehrgeschossigen Gebäuden, insbesondere modern mit Stahlbeton gebauten, an ihre Grenzen kommen. Gerade in diesen modernen Gebäuden ist häufig bereits eine LAN-Verkabelung vorhanden, die hervorragend genutzt werden könnte, um einen Router und mehrere Satelliten zu verbinden und somit das gesamte Haus mit den anderen Vorteilen von Orbi zu versorgen - schnelles WLAN, einfache Einrichtung, Design, das sich nicht in der Besenkammer verstecken muss. Um dies zu ermöglichen, müsste eine solche Verbindung jedoch softwaremäßig unterstützt werden, in Sachen Hardware sind die Orbi Router und Satelliten offensichtlich bereits ausreichend ausgerüstet. Ich persönlich würde erst dann einen Kauf von Orbi in Betracht ziehen. MfG, Robert
Issue with offloading to ethernet with the Nighthawk MR1100
Hi, I own the Nighthawk MR1100 mobile router and uses its offloading to ethernet feature. One of the networks I connect the router to requires to register the MAC address of the router in order to gain connectivity. This worked great until the recent firmware upgrade to version 12.02.06.00. After the upgrade, each time the router is restarted, the network detects a different MAC address for the router and sends me to the registration screen again. After registration the router is connected to the Internet, but having to register in the captive portal each time is a nuisance. I didn't find any settings to change this behaviour back to to having a fixed MAC address for the ethernet port. Please let me know if there is any workaround or ETA to fixing this issue. Also, it would be useful to be able to set the MAC address of the ethernet port to a user-provided value. Please consider adding this feature as well. Thanks!
Virgin hub to Orbi
Today I purchased the Netgear Orbi system. I thought it may help some people who are searching for help, that if you use the included cable that comes in the box with the Orbi system, to connect to the hub in modem mode, you wont get speeds over 100mb. The Cat5 cable thats included isnt designed for the speeds we can now get on Virgin Media. I tried it, was maxing out at 90(ish)mb, swapped the cable over to a Cat7 (I am sure I Cat6 would be fine, also) and got the speeds I expected. Tons of searching on Google didnt find me this answer, so i'm trying to put it out there to help others understand why they will be getting slow speeds. Hope it helps!Orbi dropping internet connection
So my Orbi keeps dropping internet connection with my Amazon TV via Ethernet but WiFi remains working. I have to reboot Amazon TV to have it reconnect to the Orbi. Both Orbi and Amazon TV have most recent firmware update. My internet is fiber and up to 1gbps speed. So I have the Ethernet cable directly from wall into Orbi and another cable from Orbi into Amazon TV. Any ideas why it keeps dropping internet to my Amazon TV?
