RS700 5ghz wpa2 default?
Had to do a factory reset and running latest firmware version 1.0.11.6 I can’t seem to set on 5ghz band wpa2+wpa3 by itself. It’s greyed out for some reason. I can seem only do it with 2.4ghz band which only then changes 5ghz to wpa2+wpa3. What in the world is that about with Netgear going with weird defaults? Yes, I’m using band steering by default as well.
RS700 DHCP Issues with newest firmware
I purchased an RS700 back in February and on the previous firmware I had the slow Wi-Fi issue and once I would login to the web UI and re-apply the Wi-Fi settings it fixed everything and seemed to be pretty solid. I upgraded a few weeks back to the newest 1.0.11.6 firmware and I have had issues with DHCP and devices showing no internet/IP configuration failure after a reboot. I reloaded the newest firmware from the web UI in Edge and completely factory reset the router and set it up from scratch and the issue remains. Anytime I reboot the router it takes me at least an hour to get it stabilized. When the router reboots I get an IP configuration failure on my Google Pixel when trying to connect and my desktop PC connects, but shows no internet. After waiting around 30 minutes I am able to get my desktop PC connected and when I log into the Web UI and go to attached devices I see many with either 169.x.x.x invalid IPs or else just 0.0.0.0 as the IP address. The fix I have found so far is to go into setup/wireless setup and re-apply the wireless settings and once I do that everything stabilizes usually within 15 minutes and all of my devices connect. I don't use the default DHCP pool so I define my own, but I did try using the default pool after the factory reset and saw the same issue. Is this the DHCP issue I saw in another thread or has that issue been fixed? Any help anyone could provide would be appreciated. Thanks!Netgear Nighthawk RS700S and am having issues with connecting to my office VPN
I just purchased a new Netgear Nighthawk RS700S and am having issues with connecting to my office VPN. I can connect to the VPN and see all the available drives but cannot access them. I am able to connect to everything using mobile hotspot on my iphone, but that is not why a purchased the top of the line Nighthawk. I have had our company IT Service provider look at this, and chatted with Netgear Support with no success. In the router setup I do not see the options to allow or adjust any VPN settings. Would really like to get this issue resolved. It appears to be running the latest and greatest firmware.
RS700S new v1.0.11.6 DNS issue
After upgrading to version 1.0.11.6, my RS700S ignore my local AdGuard Home DNS response for blocking Ads. However, reverting to version 1.0.10.8 restored the functionality of my local AdGuard Home DNS blocking ads. How can I resolve the issue I encountered? Thank you.
