37 TopicsRS600 Shows false negative (Blocked) Devices
For years we have had a network that comprises of a gateway on the ground floor and an Access Point on the 3rd level that connected to the ground floor by cable - we control the access to the Internet by an Access Control List (ACL). The total devices connected to the network is 40, give or take. The last configuration (before the current one was RAX50 as the gateway and RAX40 as the access point. All was good until last February. In February we bought an RS600, installed it as the gateway and changed the RAX50 to the Access Point (replacing the RAX40) when all our problem started. We have found that older devices basically work fine but newer ones such as iPhone 16 & 17, iPad 11, recent Windows 11 and newer Android devices are giving us grief, particularly those connected to the network via the Access Point. The problem manifests itself that such devices that are connected to the Access Point, show on the ACL as connected to gateway (which holds the ACL for the whole house) and "Blocked". Repeated attempts to "Allow" them come back as "Blocked". But what is weird is that when we look at "Attached Devices" list of the RS600 those "blocked" devices show as connected by wire (i.e. coming from the Access Point" and "Allowed" and may have Internet (but not always). The only real blocked devices (MAC address is not on the ACL) are shown correctly as "Blocked" on the Connected Devices" list. Just to make sure that the problem does not come from the Access Point, we put the RAX40 back as Access Point and got the same behaviour. Sometimes (but not always) we can resolve the problem by turning the affected devoices off, remove their MAC address from the ACL and then adding them back manually to the list of "allows devices not connected" list. Talking to Netgear support did not produce any meaningful relief. The RS600 firmware version is V1.0.6.22. I am interested to find out if anyone else has the problem or if there is a solution to it. Thank you.350Views0likes25CommentsHave 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?

Bonjour, A 79 ans, j’appartiens à la catégorie des illettrés numériques, et mon problème est le suivant : Le 18 janvier 2025, j’ai acheté un routeur RS600-100EUS (facture numéro 520914699). Je ne me souviens plus si oui ou non j’ai référencé cet appareil pour bénéficier de la garantie. J’ai néanmoins ouvert un compte avec mon courriel [email protected] pour installer l’application Nighthawk. Netgear m'a adressé plusieurs courriels en mars me signalant le prélèvement automatique de la licence du logiciel VPN Armor. Je ne me suis à aucun moment opposé à ce prélèvement. Toutefois son dernier courriel m’informe qu’à ma demande (!), le contrat n’a pas été poursuivi. Ce qui est tout à fait contraire à la vérité. Mon désir est en effet au contraire de le renouveler. Pour ce faire, je suis allé sur l’application Android où mon numéro d’enregistrement Admin n’est plus reconnu. Je ne puis donc, depuis cette source, reprendre le processus de renouvellement de la licence. Je n’entends pas non plus étendre la période de gratuité de l’assistance produits dans la mesure où je ne suis responsable en rien du non-renouvellement de ma licence, entièrement dépendante des insuffisances d’information Netgear. Sans connaître les raisons pour lesquelles le renouvellement de mon abonnement n’a d’une part pas été effectué, et d’autre part dans l’incapacité d’avoir une aide téléphonique (bravo ! Le système de fois raccrochée au nez), je vous remercie de bien vouloir m’aider : à m’informer en français sur la manière dont je puis récupérer un nouveau mot de passe Admin ; à envoyer un lien me permettant de régler le montant de ma licence sur le logiciel VPN Armor. Je vous en remercie à l’avance. Gilbert121Views0likes0CommentsNETGEAR WiFi 7 RS600 and 320 MHz
Hey Friends, I just bought the NETGEAR Nighthawk Tri-Band WiFi 7 Router (RS600) AND a MacBook Pro with the M5 Pro chip that supports WiFi 7. I have my 6 GHz network set up but I don't see any of the 320 MHz channels. My region is United States. What am I missing? :-)Solved205Views0likes4Comments
