ThanksCBK40 and Comcast/XFINITY issues
I just purchased a new CBK40. The installation went smoothly. I unplugged the XFinity modem I was renting and used the Netgear app which was a breeze. I should have known it was a little too easy. Immediately ran a speed test with wonderful results. 176 DL speeds which was better than I was getting with the rented modem/router. I retruned the equipment to XFinity and when I got home, immediately started having issues with both connectivitly and also speed. What I find odd is that since I have run a number of speed tests which all come out almost exactly the same. 33 DL and 23 UL. I have spent hours on the phone with Comcast and cannot get any explanaiton or answers. I am not normally one who buys into conspiricy theories, but it was immediatly after I returnred their equipment. I also know it could be somthing in my settings, but I cannot figure out what it is. Any feedback and or help would be appreciated. Thanks!Is Netgear still recommending upgrade to 6.4.0 ?
Seeing a large number of posts about problems (some of them quite serious) occurring with the official OS 6.4.0 firmware upgrade. Is it safe to upgrade to 6.4.0, or does Netgear recommend waiting for a .dot release to fix problems? Are there any pre-install recommendations (e.g. delete snapshots, remove certain apps, special user group configuration steps, etc) to lessen the chance of encountering an issue after the upgrade? Any special considerations based on platform/processor type (i.e. arm vs x86)? I do both a data backup and configuration backup before an OS upgrade. Any other precaution suggestions?3.9KViews0likes8CommentsHow to enable SSI on ReadyNAS OS 6.4.2
Using ReadyNASOS 6.4.2, the instructions on the following topic got me most of the way to enabling server site includes, but I just wanted to post the solution that works for me. Here's the previous topic: https://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=73204#p408144 Here's how I enabled on OS 6.4.2: SSH into your ReadyNAS. I have sudoers set up so have to sudo all these commands. If you don't, then SSH as 'root'. Make sure that the include module is enabled: a2enmod include The virtual host configurations are now loaded from /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ I just added the following in the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-fv-http before the close </VirtualHost>. Note that I had to use <Location> instead of <Directory> because the frontview configuration file /etc/frontview/apache/Shares.conf uses Location and overrides Directory. Substitute your url for "your-site" (ie mine is "/web"), and I didn't bother editing 000-fv-https because I don't need https for my test sites: <Location "/your-site"> Options +IncludesNOEXEC addType text/html .shtml AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml </Location> restart the web server service apache2 restart So far, frontview hasn't been overwriting this edit and I've tried enabling/disabling http. So far so good, and it's an easy edit. I just wish I knew where the frontview configuration is for these settings so that we could include them with that (so that frontview writes it into /etc/frontview/apache/Shares.conf) instead of trying to hack around frontview.3.5KViews0likes0CommentsSatellite lights turning on constantly
I find that the satellite lights (on top) are constantly on. The good news is that most of the time, it is blue, but this is happening often. It can be especially annoying at night. And yes, it does flash amber occasionally. I will normally re-sync or reboot. I just did not know if this was an issue. Thoughts? Thanks!Tips for Using New NETGEAR Community Pages

I need some community help. I really want to buy the Orbi system to cover some of the dead zones in my house, but the recent reviews on Amazon and the community boards about the router losing its connection to the modem and requiring a physical reset really concerns me. Has there been a fix for this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
