Prevent IPv6 Tracking (RFC 4941/ 8981)
Do any of the NetGear WiFi Routers implement RFC 4941 or RFC 8981 to prevent IPv6 tracking of internal devices? Or are there any Netgear WiFi Routers that allow you to disable IPv6 altogether? IPv6 assigns globally unique IPV6 addresses which allow external tracking of activity done by internal devices. I was looking at RS500/RS700S/RS300 and I don't see this option on any of them. How is Netger protecting the privacy and security of their customers without giving a way to prevent IPv6 tracking?IPV6 no connection RBR 850
I called my ISP and they confirmed I have an ipv6 connection available from them on a fiberoptic connection to my Orbi RBR 850 which will not transmit ipv6 to my network and when I run an online ipv6 test it confirms not connected. RBR 850 firmware v7.2.7.15, I just read on the netgear site this firmware is a problem for ipv6 and to set back the firmware to a previous version. I have checked my router settings many times in the advance ipv6 settings, currently set to DHCP any thoughts from anyone who has experienced problems with ipv6 connection issues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,RBR50 out of nowhere is losing connectivity 5-7 random times a day
So, I am relatively technical and out of nowhere by Orbi Mesh has lost its mind. Spent two weeks with Spectrum to make sure everything is perfect between the Node and my House and then with Spectrum Maintenance to make sure the Node and Upstream is fine. I share a node with my neighbor, and he has had zero issues....so it appears to be my Orbi out of the blue. No new devices added or removed and no changes. What firmware is loaded on the RBR and RBS? Firmware is V2.7.5.6 What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Brand New Spectrum Charter Modem - Model ET2251 / DOCSIS 3.1 eMTA What is the size of your home? Sq Ft? What is the distance between the router 📡 and satellite(s)🛰️? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR 📡 and RBS 🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected. Nothing changed of course, but 3,000. Each Orbit is on its own floor, 2nd, Main, Basement and for 4 years has worked flawlessly and yes more than 30 ft apart of course. Does this happen with the RBS turned OFF? Mmmm...I have not been able to try that as my wife works on the Main Floor and her only access is Wireless and she can't get a single from the RBR from my second floor office....but on the weekend I can try this if nothing else. Does this happen with both wireless and wired devices? Yes - my work laptop is hard wired to RBR What channel configurations are currently set on the router? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz. Nothing changed....but 2.4Ghz is Auto and 5GHz is 48 - how is is possible that Auto for years worked on 2.4 and now this is my issue...can adjust I guess, but a bit lost on this one.

I have a RAX80 and I'm pretty sure that the firmware is corrupted. I can connect to the wifi network. But the router says that it's offline. It doesn't respond to the app or the DNS. Before you ask: I have done a factory reset 3 times. I tried setting up the router but I need to login to account to do that. And it say that there is no internet access, even though there is. I have tried multiple cables and ports ip's router. Connected to the wan port on the RAX80 All ports and cables work without issues with anything that isn't the router. If router is connected to ip's router and I try accessing it through a browser (192.168.1.1) It will connect to the ip's router and if I remove the cable from the wan port and plug it directly to a computer or with wifi. Nothing loads. I have manual downloaded the newest firmware. But have no way to upload it to the router Current Firmware Version 1.0.10.140. Is there anyway to flash to firmware using the USB ports or any other way to flash to new firmware?2.4 GHz Band Stops Working
I am having the same issue as described by nquintero. It is occurring overnight and only affects 2.4 GHz devices. Router Firmware Version V1.0.5.22 ISP Modem/ONT: AT&T BGW320-505 with IP Passthrough (DHCPS-Fixed) to the BE9300 Cable: CAT5E shielded between modem and router Protection Engine: ON IPv6: Disabled Smart Connect: Enabled 2.4 GHz: Auto channel 5 GHz: Auto channel Access Control is ON I do see these. DoS Attack: RST Scan from source: 52.223.17.52, port 443 DoS Attack: RST Scan from source: 34.211.134.21, port 443 It has been solid for several months since install but just this week began to drop my connections to my wifi lighting devices in the middle of the night. I do not stream televisions, those are hard wired. The 5 GHz and wired devices remain connected. The only recovery is a power cycle.Connection stability issues Nighthawk AX1800 USB Adapter
Hi, I from France and just bought an adapter USB the Nighthawk AX1800 WIFI USB (A7500) . I constantly encounter problems with my connection. My wifi is very slow especially in games.

I start thinking that my adapter might be defective. anyone have a solution ? thx NicoC7100V – Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi Cable Modem Router With Battery PB022
Yes it's been 5 years, but I wonder what version of firmware you were using with this modem? I purchased a used C7100V and it had V2.01.45 firmware. Maybe this was a bug that was addressed by the time V2.01.45 came around? Also, I'm wondering what happened to your voice service when the battery kicked in? I notice that the PB022 battery description for the C7100V on pg 12 of the manual and reiterated at https://kb.netgear.com/000038533/How-do-I-install-the-optional-battery-in-my-C7100v-cable-modem-voice-router only talk about how long it will maintain VOICE connectivity: "The battery can give you five hours of additional talk time and eight hours of idle time for voice service during a power outage." Maybe that's a clue that it is only intended to maintain the telephone connection during a power outage and the modem is purposely being put to sleep to minimize power usage?
