Stardew Valley Multiplayer Not Connecting – Issue with Netgear Nighthawk RS700S?
Hi everyone, I’m running into an issue while trying to play Stardew Valley multiplayer on PC. The game either fails to connect with friends or stays stuck on the “Connecting...” screen indefinitely. I'm using a Netgear Nighthawk WiFi 7 Router RS700S (19Gbps), and I suspect there might be some configuration causing the issue — maybe NAT type or port restrictions. Here’s what I’ve already tried: Restarted the router and PC Turned off Windows Firewall temporarily Enabled UPnP in the RS700S settings Manually forwarded ports 24642 and 26120, which some Stardew guides recommend Despite all this, the game still can’t connect in multiplayer mode. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with the RS700S router? Are there any additional ports or settings I should be looking into to make Stardew Valley multiplayer work properly? Would really appreciate any advice! Thanks!
The IGMP Snooping Static Router Port setting on GS108PEv3
The IGMP Snooping Static Router Port setting on GS105PE was originally not available on that model, but it was later added after a request to add it and was provided by updating the firmware. Our engineers will now review if it will be possible to add it on the GS108PEv3 and we need to log it as a request however we will not be able provide you an estimated time of release. We will have to wait and see it on the future firmware update of the product.Need option to capture DNS querires and force the router DNS (port 53 intercept)
I have had this feature on other routers where port 53 is captured by the router and then the routers DNS server is used. I use OpenDNS with varous controls and it's too easy for devices to override and go though custom DNS settings bypassing the OpenDNS controls. This is a very simple IP table command. Yes I understand that some network devices/appliances like to use their own DNS configuration (VoIP, IPTV, etc.) but I have yet to find that forcing the DNS to something else breaks them.
Feature request: Change "wan side" mac address on PR2000 when in wireless hotspot mode
I purchased the PR2000 specifically for its WIRELESS Hotspot mode (the ability to connect to another wireless network, and then create a new wireless network, with a new SSID, security and network IP address range). I’ve had it for a month and it does quite a nice job at this. HOWEVER, I recently spent 8 days in a location where the wireless provider (cruise ship) was able to render the PR2000 USELESS! It seems that they are blocking mac address prefix ranges of popular network/router gear providers and therefore I was unable to use the PR2000. Also see this Fortune article on the issue: http://fortune.com/2015/11/04/fcc-hotels-wifi-blocking/ When the PR2000 is in the “wired router” mode it DOES have the ability to change the mac address of the PR2000 “wan side”, and thereby overcome this problem. HOWEVER, when in the “wireless hotspot mode” there does not seem to be an interface to change the mac address of the “wan side” of the wireless interface, so therefore, I was unable to overcome this problem. Unfortunately, I was unable to connect my Kindle and other devices that can’t deal with a “captive portal” situation. THERFORE, I am making a feature request that this ability (to change the mac address of the “wan side” of the device when in ‘wireless hotspode mode’) be added to the next ROM update for the PR2000 Or if I’ve somehow missed this ability and it already exists, please advise.
RN312 - hdd name of connected USB drives
I have problem with RN312, soft 6.2.0 When usb hdd is connected (back port, usb 3.0) system assign network name USB_HDD_1. After restart NAS (or force shutdown) even reconnect this usb drive (hot swap) network name of ubs share automaticly change to USB_HDD_8 (etc 5,11,14). In options: shares, external, settings of usb NAME cannot be changed (this option is greyed out) Question: Whether the name of usb hdd can be changed ? I would like to be able to change the name, as in the case of SATA drives. Because every time the network name of the disk is different and features USB backup disk do not work. SATA drives are functioning properly and topic not apply.
