RS600 latest version, 1.0.6.16 IoT network works like a Guest Network
Well, I got all excited about the new IoT network capabilities in 1.0.6.16. I moved a couple of devices to the new IoT network, and they connected to the internet. Then connected my phone to the IoT network. It also connected to the internet but could not connect to the devices. Works no different than a guest network. Then switched everything back and working fine. What a waste of time and emotion.RS600 BE17000 vs BE18000
I'm struggling to understand what version of the RS600 is out there for the US. All I can see on my RS600 is "RS600". Nothing stating what the BE version is, and the firmware has no reference to anything other than RS600 as well. Online I see just the BE18000 version posted. If I download the User Manual, it's a RS600 BE17000 manual updated in July of 2025. This manual does not contain any reference to the QoS page of the firmware (Home/Quality of Service). This feature is either something that's never been documented or is a feature of the current firmware, V1.05.22. Is there a User Manual supporting the current version???When I have all devices dropping off the internet this is a major problem
I am experiencing the same issue for the past few weeks. This is a router/firmware issue that Netgear needs to resolved urgently. When I have all devices dropping off the internet this is a major problem. I did not experience this on the previous version or any previous router. Happy for Netgear to supply me an alternative router that works.RS600 new firmware issues 1.0.5.22
Downloaded and installed latest FW release 1.0.5.22, and now experiencing issues with internet dropping out for about 30 seconds every 10-15 minutes. This was most prevalent on the ethernet side, but noticed it happens as well on the wireless side simultaneously. Anyone experiencing this? Had to revert back to previous firmware in order to correct the problem. Nothing else was changed.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.
