Please add "WiFi radio on/off" function to RS100
Good day NETGEAR team and community, I recently purchased my first Nighthawk (the RS100) specifically after recommendation for the need of the ability to fully turn off the WiFi radio. After digging through the user manual, I found that the RS100 has no physical WiFi on/off button and no "Enable Wireless Radio" option in the web interface, only SSID hide/broadcast and access control, neither of which actually stops the radio from transmitting. I noticed that RS700S firmware 1.0.9.6 (released July 2025) added a "WiFi radio on/off function." Since the RS100 shares a similar platform, is there any plan to bring this same feature to the RS100 as well? For reference, here's the RS700 thread where staff confirmed the feature was removed and that they were working on restoring it: https://community.netgear.com/discussions/nighthawk-wifi-7-be/rs700-turning-off-wifi--firmware-version-v1-0-7-96-2-0-96/2430134 I'm currently on the latest RS100 firmware (1.2.7.4) and don't see the option anywhere. Would really appreciate an update on whether/when this is coming to the RS100 or if I must switch platform. Thanks in advance! Warm regards/ Heimr
Fun with lights.
So, except for my printer (white HP) my desktop theme (I have 2 Dells, 9020 and a 790 - Hey, if it's not broke, don't fix it. They work awesome) Anyways, my theme is Black with Blue lights....except for this new RS100. Well, I have fix this. You need 3 things. Some velcro, a DR. Teals bath soap (I've attached a picture) and a SHARP knife. I'm sure the picture does this justice BUT if not, I trimmed down one side of the bottle, put velcro on the top and bottom and new, well, my lights on the RS100 are blue!! I know, stupid BUT I like it.No VPN?
Router is a new RS100. I've been all over the Advanced set up page and cannot find where to set up a VPN. I'm just starting to dabble into this and would like the router for my VPN, for now. Any ideas where it's hidden? I already have a NoIP account ready to go/entered into the router. Thanks for any input.I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on an RS100
Sorry, i know this is a few months old, but i am curious about your comment as to why the RS200 would be better for this use case. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on an RS100, but would like to separate my IoT devices, but still manage them with apps on my phone on my regular wifi setupRS140 Previously configured device does not connect to the Wi-Fi network.
Hi, I have my company laptop and it ran out of battery while connected to my company's VPN. It also uses Cisco Anny Connect. After recharging, it won't connect to the Wi-Fi network with my RS140 router. I've already restarted the modem and router, and removed the network from the laptop. The other devices are still working fine.
