RAX50 doesn't accept any port value in the Outgoing Mail Server Port Number field
On my RAX50 (latest firmware, V1.0.17.142_2.0.100), I'm trying to set up email alerts. But no matter what port I enter in the Outgoing Mail Server Port Number field, the router doesn't accept it and doesn't save the settings. I tried port 465, 587, 25, custom ports, for example, 999, or left the field empty - the router doesn't accept any value. I want to say right away that the issue is not with my mail service; you don't need to tell me which ports Gmail or Outlook uses. The problem is not that mail is not received or sent; I don't even get to this stage. I just can't enter any port number value; the router doesn't accept any. What should I do? Maybe someone knows which port my router will work with? Do email alerts work on it at all?Any clue if 1.1.6.36 fixes the login issues in 1.1.4.28
FURRYe38 any clue if 1.1.6.36 fixes the login issues in 1.1.4.28 that were "solved" by downgrading to 1.1.3.18? Yes, I've been waiting too... https://community.netgear.com/discussions/en-home-routers-nighthawk-wifi-ax6/netgear-nighthawk-rax50v2---access-denied-bug-solved-solution/2421916Wifi speeds slower than what I am getting
I have 500/500mbps internet. I have tested the speed on my desktop (wired) it showed 550/550mbps, but devices connected to wifi get slower speeds than what I get over wired. I tested some devices within a few feet from the router all on 5ghz in the same room. My phone gets around 300mbps download and 120 upload Wifi 6 laptop gets around 350mbps down 150 up I have checked wifi channels, it is a bit crowded in my neighborhood. A lot of nearby wifi networks are on the lower channels and not many on the higher channels (149+), but higher channels give me worse signal and speed. I have restarted the router, did not change. The router is not in a terrible spot, there is a home phone next to it but probably won't interfere. We don't have a lot of devices in our home running simultaneously or heavy usage. Are my wifi speeds normal?Readyshare stopped recognizing any USB drives
I had not used my 500GB external hard drive in a long while but recently tried to access it and Readyshare portal says "no USB drive" so I tried connecting a small USB drive and it still says "no usb" drive. At first I had thought the 500GB SSD went bad but when the smaller flash drive gave the same results it makes me think there is a problem with the Rax50 itself. I tried rebooting but still the same results. What might be the usual reasons why Readyshare previously showed my USB drive and now stopped showing it or any other USB drive ? Thanks in advance for any ideas !My rax50 says internet connection is good. But wifi and cable connections to devices are not working
I have checked all my cable connections. I have called my ISP to make sure there are no issues with my fttp connection. I have made sure the router is successfully connected to my ISP by making sure it's connected using the PPPoE login connection details. My router even states internet connection is 'GOOD'. But my wifi and cable connections to devices are still not working. My wifi states "connected but no internet access" even tho the router says internet access is fine. I've contacted Netgear support but they were absolutely useless unless I paid for 12 months of support for the price of a whole new router. Can anyone help me please?
