F...
Yep, SMTP was never designed to last as long as it has and should have been binned years ago (haters don't give me a hard time as I'll just ignore your ready wit)
Using smtp.gmail.com and port 465 or 587
Deliberately used wrong password
[email failed] -5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted.
Correct password
[email failed] -5.7.9 Application-specific password required
https://developers.google.com/gmail/imap/imap-smtp
The outgoing SMTP server, smtp.gmail.com, requires TLS. Use port 465, or port 587 if your client begins with plain text before issuing the STARTTLS command.
Sorry for all the mesages on here on this.
FWIW, IMHO I recommened you
- Follow the original post from Furrye38 (at the top of this chat). Follow the steps word for word. Appreciate the early heads up in this forum for that Furry38
- Then do a factory reset after the upgrade (or you are wasting your time)
- Then rebuild your Orbi setup from scratch, do not load a previoulsy saved config. Yes I know this is a pain, trust me I know, I have to add over 50 devices back each time I rebuild the darn thing. Keep an Excel spreadsheet or text file with all your device details and then copy & paste is your friend
- During my rebuild the only non-default step I took was to disable Upnp and disable 20/40 MHz Coexistence
- Hopefully, your wifi drop outs will cease or reduce considerably
If anyone knows how to get the Remote Access option back, from firmware v3.x, and that can survive a factory reset please let me know
Anyone got logs emailing to them and/or DDNS working?
Yes, I have spent a fair amount of time on this POC and I get your point, but I think it's misplaced IMHO.
Anyone that is here reading all these posts is here because have no other viable option of getting assistance with their POC and are desperate. You'll only ever get this type of help in a user forum, you have to pay for anything better.
I'm simply posting what has worked for me and I appreciate it won't necessarily work for anyone else. But, it might or may point them in another direction or worse case console them that they are not alone in the struggle.I will never ever buy or recommend Netgear routers in future and will actively avoid them like the plague. I have had issues with the previous 2 Netgear routers that I have had and now know better. They used to be one of, if not the best platform, but those days now seem a very long time ago. The only way Netgear can keep me as a customer is to give me a brand new system with firmware that works 100% out of the box. Other than that, I will go elsewhere when I get my next router, as I suspect pretty much everyone else in this forum will do.
My final 'Doom and gloom point' for Netgear is simply - "You reap what you sow!" If you don;t fix this disaster it really won;t matter in the longrun (which will be short)
No offence meant to anyone or anything in the above
Keep the faith - This is the way :smileyfrustrated:
