I just spent $400 on a new Netgear Nighthawk router
I just spent $400 on a new Netgear Nighthawk router only to find out it has the same problem as the old out of service RAX43 router. If it’s a Windows issue, I don’t think MS is too interested in fixing it. After all they would rather sell their cloud storage, One Drive. I would imagine that Netgear would have more of an interest in finding a fix as Readyshare only adds to the valve of the router. I am using One Drive more than I am using Readyshare, since my Readyshare access is undependable and random. But it isn’t just the Readyshare access that disconnects, it is also the access to the Router’s setting page. That may be why Netgear is now selling the idea of using an Android app instead of a PC.RBR850 loses management access after power outage
After a power outage my RBR850 loses the management access. The Internet still works - all devices are connected and working and I can remotely access household published services from the Internet. I can’t access the router console via the app or a web browser. It has its IP address and can be pinged but it isn’t publishing a http port 80. Last time this happened I had to factory reset and restore the backed up config. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? The router is connected to an NBN modem in bridge mode, and has one satellite which also works fine after the power outage.Orbi app not connecting via Local or Anywhere Access, cant log in from PC as administrator.
I have an Orbi AX4200 RBR750 WiFi 6 router with two satellites, but I am unable to connect through Anywhere Access or locally. My Nighthawk CM2000 2.5Gb cable modem is connected to a Mediacom ISP 1Gb fiber line. I use Windows Defender across my iPhone, iPad, and PC, as well as the Windows Defender VPN on these devices. My PC runs Total Defense Internet Security Suite CE 25.4. I also use an iPhone 16 with iOS 26.0.1, accessing Anywhere Access remotely and Local access when on-site. The ORBI app version is 2.48.0.43. Oddly, the app shows that I am connected with a green dot under "Your Products" in Anywhere Access, but it then displays a message saying, "Device is Offline," which it is not. I am also unable to log in via Orbilogin.net or the IP address. My WiFi, ISP, and network are functioning fine, but I lack local or remote access to perform updates, reboot remotely, or check activity. Thanks in advance for any assistance in resolving or identifying the issue with connecting.Website blocked on RAX-50
Beginning on 10-17-25 I began receiving this message when attempting to access https://www.riil.org/: This IP Address has been blocked. Please contact support if you believe you have received this message in error. 68.230.132.151 I receive the message on multiple devices connected to my Netgear Nighthawk RAX-50. I am able to access it on my work laptop while on their network. I have the Nighthawk app on my phone but when I pull it up I don't see any settings to manage blocked web sites. There is a section called "Security & Support" but when I tap it I am prompted to purchase Armor Plus. I am not looking to purchase firewall support but unblock this site. Any suggestions?Speed Test and Traffic Meter privacy
Is there no way to opt out of the personal data gathered by Ookla’s Internet Speed and Traffic Meter functions in Netgear’s Nighthawk app? Ookla’s privacy statements document aggressively invasive levels of data scraping and resale from its privileged perch on Netgear’s modems and routers. Is this gathering and sale of user data impossible to stop, strange behavior by a company known for advanced security. Does Ookla/Netgear gather and process our data regardless of whether or not Ookla routines are run within the Nighthawk app?I've been getting the so called attacks since first using a netgear router
I've been getting the so called attacks since first using a netgear router, I am on my second unit. The problems begin when there is a sluggish loading of tabs and pages, often timing out and then total failure of internet connection. Sometimes a soft rebooting of the router and ISP service helps. This last time, though, seems to have required a factory reset of the router (less than two years old). It is quite the hastle to reprogram things; this is just with DoS attacks and with ACK_Scan and SYN_flood. . .
