Determine IPv6 for a connected device
Greetings, I'm installing a new Ethernet device (it's a printer) and I made a slight oopsie. I disabled IPv4 in the web admin panel, because my network is 100% IPv6. Unfortunately I was connected via IPv4 to the web admin panel! Now I'm trying to determine the device's IPv6 assigned address(es) which should be at least one link-local and at least one routable: Surely the Nighthawk admin panels know this. I have access control enabled and I made sure to unblock/allow the device as soon as it showed up. So it had no connectivity problems and should be reachable over IPv6, but that seems not to be the case. Where in the Nighthawk RS300 admin panels can I find/determine IPv6 addresses of connected devices? Thanks!BE9300 Broken With 4kQAM Rate Set On BE200
So this is an interesting and very specific phenomenon I've narrowed down. The BE200 from intel and the BE9300 from Netgear completely bomb out their rate set negotiation when the signal is perfect. Yup, this means what you think. Moving the antenna further away or in a suboptimal position to force a lower RSSI so that 1024 QAM or lower is negotiated gives the expected bandwidth. It appears that one of the devices gets confused or "stuck" on properly allocating the available resource units or doesn't have 4kQAM properly mapped into a rate setting table. I've checked this repeatedly with spare wifi antennas, moving the PC around, and overzealous usage of iperf 3.2.0 against a wired PC also connected to the BE9300 as well as iperf on an iphone 16. The iphone 16's themselves appear fine under all conditions, but that's seemingly because they only support 160mhz wide connections and 1024QAM. Yup... apple runs their newer iphone 16s and 17s at 6E speeds, and it's on their official website as per https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/wi-fi-ethernet-specifications-apple-devices-dep268652e6c/web. This is what it looks like when it's working and forced to a slightly weaker signal around 53db. This is what it looks like when the signal is stronger and 4kQAM is utilized on the link. As you can see the rate set for the uplink swaps to a 4kQAM mode while the downlink crashes and almost appears to be using the BPSK-DCM and BPSK-DCM-DUP rate sets listed as MCS indices 14 and 15 in the rate-set table for wifi7, instead of 12 or 13 as it should be. Either that or my other guess is the RU allocation "gets stuck" or confused under this specific scenario for some unknown reason. The BE9300 is using the latest 1.0.6.16 firmware, and the BE200 has been updated to the 24.20.2 drivers, although this has been an ongoing situation across multiple driver versions.RAXE300 assigns IPs on a different subnet
I recently had ATT Fiber at my house and have an issue I can't figure out how to resolve. The ATT gateway is in passthrough mode so I can use the RAXE300. The issue I can't solve is my audio streamer is connected to ethernet through a wired switch and the gateway assigns it a 192.168.1.x address. I use my phone to control the streamer but the router assigns it a 10.0.0.x address, which means my phone doesn't see the streamer. Is it possible to fix this without having to move the router and connect it directly to the streamer?Cannot remove/block devices from admin web UI [RS300]
I just installed a Nighthawk RS300 wireless router. I enabled "Access Control" and I was able to put the MAC address + name in the list of allowed devices, however, with the admin web UI, I cannot remove any devices that are not already connected, and the other lists are extremely truncated. The firemware is "Router Firmware Version V1.0.5.22". I've entert 60 devices. Of those devices, 10 show as connected, only 2 show up as "allowed and not connected" and only 2 show as "blocked and not connected". There are 46 entries that are totally missing.Not updating dynamic DNS
I am having a very similar issue. My old setup was using a NightHawk router. This sits behind a ATT Fiber Modem set to be in pass through mode. Everything works great on the old router. Port Forwarding works great, DDNS with No-IP works great. Set up the new RS300 router. Set all the settings to be the same and nothing works. Cannot get no-ip to update correctly, show status says incorrect host name, it is not. I am not entirely sure my port forwarding is working either. I updated my firmware when I setup the RS300 so I am not sure if this is a known issue that is being work on. I have tried shutting down the RS300 multiple times to see if that would kick something into working but no luck.Nighthawk RS100 vs RS300 - IoT devices
Hello! My goal is to have all of my IoT devices on a separate network. I've been googling and searching on this forum on whether or not nighthawk RS100 or RS300 can set up IoT devices on a separate network. So far what I've been learning is that RS100 - you can have IoT devices set up in the guest wifi network but no guarantee all IoT devices would work properly. RS300 - I've got mixed search results on whether RS300 has a separate IoT wifi network. some post/site say yes, others say no. my questions is if RS100 and RS300 both can only have IoT devices on the guest wifi network, then why should I spend more on the RS300 (I don't have faster speed and wider wifi range coverage). I would spend more on the RS300 if it has a IoT wifi network feature. Can anyone pls confirm which is which? which wifi router should I get? Thank you for your time! Tate
