FVX538 - Broken ... anyone know where to get replacement motherboard?
Not sure of Hardware version. Bought two of these FVX538 routers a 10 years ago ... was told they were Version 2. Label on bottom of case says Version 2. But, neither worked reliably with most recent firmware images ... only with version 3.05 - 28.4 (highest version recommended for Hardware Version 1) AND ... I just opened up the case of the router that failed and found the motherboard is a Version A1. But, if there is a replacement motherboard with the most recent hardware version available I would like to find the selling price & total cost to have it shipped to me. Does anyone know if there are parts availalbe for older Netgear products?
FVX538 dual-port problem
I have the following issue WAN1 I have connected to an ISP which is PPPoE dial, just connect in the WAN2 port another ISP that uses IP, at this point I have no problem, 2 suppliers connect correctly. The problem arises when configuring Load Balancing or Auto Rollover, I explain each case. Load Balancing: If I configure load balancing, and one of the two ISPs disconnected due to failure of service, I was completely without internet, no browsing, no Email, the Internet nothing works no matter if the second ISP is running and connected. When service is reestablished from the first ISP, FXV538 does not reconnect automatically, I have off and on directly or reboot. Auto Rollover: If I have configured the auto rollover and the first ISP disconnected due to failure of service, the FVX538 does correctly change to the second ISP, but when service is reestablished from the first internet provider and detects FVX538 the connection, I get disconnected from the second ISP, but I stay completely without internet, I have to reboot or power cycle the FVX538 Hopefully you understand my problem, I'm from Mexico and my English is not very good Would be very appreciated that someone can help me with this problemshould be mentioned that just update the firmware to 3.0.6 - 25 My FVX data are as follows: Firmware version (Primary) 3.0.6 - 25 Firmware version (Secondary) 2.1.0 - 7 Thanks in advance
FVX538 email settings lost on power cycle
I have two FVX538 routers running firmware 3.0.7-24 (the latest). They were both configured from a hard reset and have been running fine for months. They are configured to send log data daily via email. However, when power cycled, they both loose their email settings. When I put the email setting back, all is well. I know this is a minor point, but its getting to be a real pain putting these settings back all the time. Any suggestion? One last question. How do you search these forms with an "and" operator. For example, search for FVX538 AND email. I always seem to get FVX538 OR email. Thanks
