RS700S Firmware Version 1.0.10.8 IoT Option Missing
So looking at the change logs for the RS700 you added a new feature, Added an IoT network function in the web user interface." But no matter where I look, I cannot find this option anywhere. Is it because smart connect is disabled? I updated manually over 1.0.9.16.RS700 - 5GHz Wifi - Channel Auto 40
Hello, I have noticed my wifi 6 (802.11) devices are getting a slower connection around 180mbps, it used to be around 350-450 mbps when performing a speed test. Upon looking into router configuration, I can confirm the wifi 5GHz is set to Channel: Auto and Mode: up to 5.8 Gbps. However if I click on Advanced Home and scroll down to see the wireless configuration, I do see channel Auto (40) and mode up to 0.7 Gbps. If I change the channel manually to higher upwards of 128, I do get better speeds on wifi 6 devices. Any reason why 5GHz auto channel is default to channel 40? How do I correct this manually without choosing a specific channel? Router Model: Nighthawk RS700 Firmware Version V1.0.10.8_2.0.109 Thanks CTRS700 VPN Service certs incomplete?
I've been setting up NoIP and the VPN Service on my RS700. I'm on firmware version V1.0.9.6_2.0.100. After much tinkering and following much of the helpful advice here, I have a connection that works. However, I am getting this error in the log, which I have seen others post about but update the firmware seems to be the solution(?). I'm on the latest firmware. Thu Oct 23 17:12:39 2025 WARNING: No server certificate verification method has been enabled. See http://openvpn.net/howto.html#mitm for more info. When I add remote-cert-tls server to my .ovpn file, which in my understanding is good practice to include, my connection fails: Thu Oct 23 17:15:09 2025 Certificate does not have key usage extension Thu Oct 23 17:15:09 2025 VERIFY KU ERROR I've stopped started the VPN Service multiple times, re-copied the config files etc but can not get the connection working with remote-cert-tls server in my .ovpn file. The certificate provided by the router seems to be missing the necessary Key Usage (KU) flags. How do I fix this, please?RS700 sending BDPU on WAN
Supposedly this was fixed on other models but I just got a MikroTik and its BDPU guard got tripped and the port it was on got blocked and this is on the latest firmware 1.0.10xx firmware. The switch's traffic stats show incoming BDPU packets on the port that the R700 is connected to.
