rs300 - guest and iot
just got a rs300. it is in AP mode. the main network works fine. created a guest network on wifi 5g using wpa2 and wpa3. the ssid randomly shows up and when it does clients can’t join. also created an iot network using 2.4g only. the ssid shows up and can connect to it however devices on iot network cant access internet or ping the local ips. using firmware 1.0.6.16. any suggestions?Wi-Fi ping spikes every 10 seconds.
Ping jumps from around 5 ms to 100 ms every 10 seconds. The issue is reproducible only when connected via Wi-Fi. When connected to the router with an Ethernet cable, the problem does not occur. Resetting the router did not help. Steps to reproduce: 1. Connect to the router via Wi-Fi. 2. Start pinging any external service. 3. Observe the ping behavior.Router reset does not fully restore all settings while reset
Resetting the router does not clear all settings and does not change the router name. This leads to a situation where the user scans the QR code on the router, but the phone cannot connect to the router. The reason is that the app expects one set of credentials, while the router is actually using different credentials. ==== Can't change router's name because it then cause painful steps to restore the router in case it's neededRS300 & CityFibre - IDNet
Hello, Can’t seem to find conclusive evidence if the Netgear Nighthawk RS300 BE9300 will work with IDNet on a CityFibre connection. IDNet mentions VLAN 911 tagging but posts on the web seem to suggest the Netgear VLAN tagging implementation doesn’t cover the WAN port. Any feedback greatly appreciated. thanksDetermine 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.RS300, access control not working
The firmware is the V1.0.6.16. I have the access control on, if I turn on the "Block all new devices from connecting" two devices already connected are blocked and there is no way to allow the connection; the only way is to "Allow all new devices to connect". What can I do?RS300, firmware 1.0.6.16; Ethernet Settings
I'd like to configure the port aggregation to connect a switch to the port 1 and 2. Following the user manual on page 99, on the page ADVANCED>AdvancedSetup>EthernetSettings the port aggregation is disabled and it's asking me to disable VLAN to enable it. But I need the VLAN configuration to connect my ISP; how have I to do?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?
