FVS318v3 slow speeds as Router fast as Hub what settings can I change (internally on netgear)
My FVS 318 v3 is only 7 & 8 Mbps as a Router but it speeds up to (94 & 67 Mbps when modem cable is moved from WAN to a LAN port. what inside the Netgear is slowing down speed. No Port Fwrd, no Rules, no VPN, just basic AUTO setup.SRX5308 checksum on updated .cfg
I have an ISP that (too-) frequently changes the IP address of client systems. I often need to update the incoming firewall rules. This can be done by manually changing each rule for each remote system, but since the config files are saved in ASCII format, I'd like to edit that file and re-upload it to the firewall. But after doing so, re-uploading the file to the fire wall yields a checksum error on the 5308. Is there a way to: 1) regenerate the .cfg file's checksum 2) clear the checksum so the firewall's firmware knows to regenerate it? 3) is there a tool that will recalculate the checksum on an existing flat file? 4) have the firewall rules use a hostname instead of a fixed IP address? Updating many entries via the web interface is error-prone and time consuming. Is there a later firewall similar to the 5308 that has such a checksum-updating ability already implemented? Finally, I suppose an existing utility such as expect(1) could interactively update configs via the CLI interface, but I was hoping this might be an already-addressed issue. Thanks, John
ProSafe Firewall FVS336Gv3 firmware upgrade question
Hi all, I have a quick question regarding upgrading the firmware on a FVS336Gv3. It is currently running on 4.3.3-8 and I want to upgrade it to the latest 4.3.5-3, will the settings already in the device be retained or will they get wiped from the firmware upgrade? Thanks.How to disable the firewall?
HI, I have a Netgear c7000-100NAS modem and router combo. The firewall in my Netgear device is blocking FTP access to my files. It is a wordpress based site, I can access my dashboard and make changes. However, I can not access my files via FTP. I am using Godaddy’s Manage Wordpress and the only way to access the files are through FTP. They keep the files on their servers. Here is the error I get from my FTP client. An FTP error occurred. Can not make connection to host. User limit reached or not authorized to make connection due to local firewall blocking FTP data. I am using Firezilla for my ftp management. I have also tried it with Dreamweaver’s built in ftp client but still can not access. I have turned off the firewall on my computer. “I am using Mac by the way.” It still did not help. I am using sftp connection and port is 22 My lost option is to go into my Netgear’s Gateway settings and disable the firewall or add a rule to allow access to my ftp. I just do not know how to do that. Can someone help? Where do I go into the geteway settings and what do I change? Thank you
FVS336Gv3 multi-NAT inbound firewall rules not working
I have about 30 Netgear FVS338 and a few FVS336Gv2 routers in use. I use them to firewall and provide multi-NAT between industrial machines and the WAN. The configuration has changed on the Gv3 models and I can't get a response from behind the firewall or from the router diagnostics page when using the WAN address. In the examples below the WAN is 10.62. Figure 1. Two different devices showing two different configuration options. Figures 2 and 3. I know the first one is wrong - it would only allow connection from that address. Have I set up the second one correctly to NAT WAN address 10.62.31.55 to LAN address 10.3.110.215? Q1: Is Figure 3 set up correctly? Q2: Why is it forcing me to create an address range? On the older routers I had the option of just one address. Q3: Is anyone aware of any problems with this router?FVS318G V2 DNS traffic getting through
Hi. I'm having an Issue with an FVS318G V2. I have only ping and port 8000 open for a specific address and all other traffic Is blocked but DNS requests are managing to get through. Is this even possible ? Could a virus/malware somehow pull this off and bypass the firewall ?
