34 TopicsHave you seen this about Netgear RS Routers? Pretty interesting and maybe scary or even dangerous!
Supposedly there is a Backdoor to our Rs Series routers by sending magic packets? This makes me nervous as I work and live behind a RS700 in my house. It sounds pretty serious?

The guy from Level1 said hed never use a Rs700 as a home Router? I'd Love for Netgear to read this and respond to us!!112Views0likes4CommentsRS500 hidden advanced setting enables MLO
Not sure why Netgear chose to hide the advanced wireless settings revealed through the F12 browser display link mod. I can confirm that only the MLO setting works in my RS500 router when toggled ON, but the speeds seem to be worse with the Intel BE200 laptop wifi card with MLO enabled on the 5 and 6 Ghz bands.

I have set up my RS500 router with channel 44 and up to 5.8 Gbps speed in the 5 Ghz band. The router stays on 160 MHz bandwidth for a day or two before falling back to the 80 MHz bandwidth and never comes back up to the 160 MHz bandwidth unless rebooted. I do know that the router might fall back to 80 MHz bandwidth if any radar is detected nearby in the DFS channels. Isn't it supposed to get back up to the 160 MHz bandwidth if there's no more interference?1.1KViews0likes40CommentsRS500 router - Internet feels much faster with IPV6 disabled?
Any insights why my internet and general browsing feels much faster with IPv6 disabled in the router. My ISP is Xfinity and it provides native Ipv6 support with DHCPv6-PD. The same has been my observation with my previous router R6700AX. Also the internet speeds see a few Mbps increase with IPv4 only, although this is subjective. Definitely enabling IPV6 takes a toll on the router. It might be an ISP routing issue too.Solved1KViews0likes18Comments
