16 TopicsUPNP no longer works
I just updated to Firmware V1.0.3.16 After the router completed the update, UPNP no longer works. I have tried rebooting the router several times but the port is not being automatically forwarded to the computer on the network. I have never had an issue with this before. Two ports that are usually handled are transmission and Plex. I manually forwarded the ports and it is working. But I shouldnt have to manually manage the connections. Any ideas on how to get it working again?Solved4.4KViews0likes7Comments
R9000 unable to see and manage in my ReadyCLOUD web page.
Hello. I own an R7000, an R8500 and an R9000. The R7000 now uses it as a wifi bridge in my home network, but a few years ago it was my router with which I registered in MyNetgear and ReadyCLOUD. I had no problem to remotely access via ReadyCLOUD either to the USB stick inserted in the R7000 or to the nas RN104 of my network. Then I bought and installed the R8500 instead of the R7000 and even then I never had any problems with ReadyCLOUD. The problems started when I bought the R9000 and installed it instead of the R8500. Through ReadyCLOUD I can see and manage the RN104 nas but I can not see the R9000 router. I went from within the router setup page to cancel the subscription to ReadyCLOUD and repeat it but without success. I have always updated the firmware of the R9000 like that of the nas RN104 and of the R7000 bridge. What can I do to get back to seeing my router from ReadyCLOUD?Solved2.8KViews0likes9CommentsCan't disable 60GHz 802.11ad Broadcast Name from being transmitted
Model: Netgear R9000 / AD7200 Nighthawk X10 Router The 60Ghz LED is lit on the router, and under the "Advanced Wireless Settings (60GHz 802.11ad)", the "Enable Wireless Router Radio" is unchecked, but the "Broadcast Name" is still transmitting. All of the other bands are unchecked and aren’t transmitting, so why is this the only one? I've tried every possible configuration in the router setup, but nothing works. Any idea on how to turn it off?Solved4.1KViews0likes3Comments
[X10 (R9000)] cannot regenerate or invalidate VPN credentials
I'm shocked I spent so much on a high end router, and I'm stuck with the static OpenVPN configuration on the router. There is no way to invalidate old keys, generate new keys, or have multiple active keys. This is a significant security design issue. Once you give a key out, or if you accidentally expose it, there is no way to kill it. Even if you are the only user using your VPN, there is a chance your device can be stolen or compromised, forcing you to question whether your home VPN credentials have also been compromised. There is no reason why you should need to buy a new router just to rotate your keys. The kicker is the manual even suggests changing the default SSID and network password. I don't know why they wiould suggest this if they thought the default installation was private and secure. If Netgear believes it is better security to use your own custom security credentials, then they should allow you to do the same with the OpenVPN configuration. The OpenVPN feature on the X10 is too minimal to be trusted.Solved4.3KViews2likes8CommentsBridge Nighthawk routers: x8 r8500 to x10 r9000
Hi all, I just bought an upgrade r9000 (x10) from my current r8500 (x8) router due to plex and 10gbe lan. The issue I'm having is that my router is at one end of the house, and prior I used eero routers in conjunction to reach all areas of my house, but the biggest problem here is that eero sucks at having simultaneous connections, especially playing video games on 3-4 pcs! So instead of getting rid of my r8500, I was hoping to get rid of my eero. I'm hoping to use my r8500 as a bridge in the middle of the house so it extends the reach to the end of the other side. I tried #1 rated av powerline 2000 and was getting extremely low speeds vs wifi, so that was returned since it didn't work. As a bridge, wouldn't this work since both are supposedly able to transfer fast speeds (especially within lan)? I tried looking at how to bridge these two together but couldn't find anything. Help and insight would be great! Thank you!Solved6.6KViews0likes2CommentsX10 R9000 wired network running at 100Mbps
I recently bought a X10 R9000 router to replace my old WNDR4500 N900 router, also from Netgear. I have Cat 6 or better ethernet cable running from the cable modem to the router and from the router to two computers. - When the WNDR4500 was installed, I could achieve ~80 - 100 megabytes per second transfer rates between my two wired computers (~gigabit speeds) - The leds on the old router indicated gigabit ethernet connections - I installed the R9000 in the same location and did not change any of the ethernet wiring or the gigabit switches I have in place - The R9000 shows white flashing leds for the two computers, indicating gigabit ethernet connections - When I transfer a large file, the speed clearly tops out at ~10-11 megabytes per second, like it's hitting a hard limit (looks like ~100Mbps ethernet) - I disconnected everything and connected both computers directly to the router using Cat6 cables and I still see the same transfer rate limit - I turned off any QOS settings I could find, but no change I have already checked for new firmware (none available yet). Do I have a defective R9000? I'm really considering returning this and waiting for a less buggy AC7200 router to come out. At this point, my expensive router looks like a downgrade.Solved3.2KViews0likes5Comments
Fan operation on Nighthawk (esp. R9000) units
Have never seen the R9000 fan(s?) cut on. But then, I've been monitoring the temperature on & off by hand, and it's never been particularly warm, so the fan wouldn't need to be on. Anyway I can know for sure if the fan works? Are there internal diagnostics for fan operation? (@ElaineM)Solved5.2KViews0likes1CommentIssue With Mac Filtering
Hello, I just got the X10 and was settying up Mac Filtering on it and found an Issue/Bug with it, after add couple MAc addresses to allowed list and hit apply it comes back with a grey page and does not respond until you reboot the router.
