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.I'm not savvy enough to know what "bufferbloat" is
I'm not savvy enough to know what "bufferbloat" is, but I have been having a HORRIBLE time gaming with this router. I have Frontier Fiber FiOS at 2 gigabit speed, and have to literally reboot the router mid-sessions almost EVERY time I play an online game like ARC Raiders, Fortnite, Helldivers 2 or other multiplayer online game. I'm using a PS5 Pro plugged directly into an ethernet port on the router (no wireless ever) using a top-end 3ft cable from Infinite Cable, have set up on the PS5 Pro to use the CloudFlare DNS on the PS5's advanced network settings, assigned the PS5 a pre-set IP address and put that IP address in for the DMZ, turned off QoS, IPv6, and still am having network-wide crashes where every device - including things like family iOS devices - losing access to things like Facebook and YouTube which - again - requires a full router restart. I have the latest publicly available version of the firmware as well and it has not helped any. This is insane that a $600 router is this unreliable.
