Router dropping internet frequently
RS280 running v1.0.1.90 The problems I'm having are frequent (typically daily) but are often different so it's a little hard to troubleshoot. Here are the types of issues I encounter: Users (2 of us) lose all internet but retain a wifi connection. Netgear modem shows internet and Xfinity confirms no outages. Reboot router and internet restored. One user device loses internet but not wifi. Usually one of our Windows 11 laptops. Only way to restore it is to reboot laptop and sometimes reboot router also. Users lose wifi and internet. When I check the Netgear app I get a msg that it can't find the router. Rebooting router works about half the time, and if it doesn't, than I unplug the modem and the router and reboot both which works 98% of the time. Sometimes I have to repeat the steps to get it working. This is a daily occurrence. The old Netgear router in this same house rarely had these problems. When it died I replaced it with this router and these problems started, but not right away. I do have a lot of devices connected (phones, ipads, appliances, etc.) I currently have 28 devices showing a green dot on the app. Is the router defective?RS300 not updating dynamic DNS
I have 2 Netgear routers on my private network, they are a R8000 and a RS300. Additionally I have 2 Hostnames purchased from NoIP.com. I can define either NoIP hostname in R8000 router, click 'Show Status' and get message "<xxxxxdns01.ddns.net> updated successfully at 01:13PM,06/04/2025" When I define either NoIP hostname in the RS300 router, click 'Show Status' and get message "Update failed. Host name is not correct." Suggestions welcomed
NH RS300 - QoS
Does the RS300 have a QoS feature? According to the manual for the RS300 I have access to there should be a QoS feature in the router. This is a screenshot of the manual, page 104. I the admin interface I don't see any references to this QoS menu: What am I missing her? The router is bought in Europe/Norway, in case there is some regional differences to the RS300. And in case you wonder, the FW is the latest version I have access to (see details above).RS700 pinging Google DND every 4-5 secs on AP Mode
I am currently using my RS700S in AP mode behind a pfSense firewall. I noticed the router is pinging 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 every 4-5 secs showing up in block alerts, more of nuisance than anything with it flooding the logs rather than any connectivity. I assume it's trying to check for an internet connection, but there needs to be a way to block/stop the RS700S when in AP mode. I assume this is not just the RS700 but other models probably doing the same as a lot of them share similar core firmware.
