Hello there, I really want to ask for an advise from more experienced users than myself abot L2TP internet speed. So I bought NetGear AX1800 RAX20 router (latest firmware already installed) and it seemed to work fine by delivering 100mb/s stable connection. However after I bought new xbox console I noticed that I am always getting disconnected from online gaming even though everything is connected directly by internet wires. After discussing this issue with my ISP I've been told that I need a vpn connection using L2TP which they can provide me with. After entering all the credentials in my router I got VPN L2TP connection and my console started to work just fine. However I didnt check my internet speed at that same moment. Lately I've noticed my internet speed is limited to 60mb/s while using VPN which is almost 50% less the amount I am paying for. If I turn L2TP option off - my speed comes to normal 100mb/s. As a solution my ISP offered me to try their own router (Mikrotik hap-lite 7442a-94125ND) which is significantly smaller and, on paper, less powerful. BUT using this router with L2TP my connection is basically 100mb/s. ISP explained to me that my routers CPU is not powerful enought to encrypt all the data so it limits the bandwidth. Another solution would be to turn L2TP encryption off, but I did not find this option in my router setting. Mikrotik router seems to handle this without any problem for some reason and I get 100mb/s stable connection. So the main question: is my NetGear router so bad (even though it costs 3 times as much) that it can not deliver 100mb/s bandwidth with L2TP connection or am I missing something? I would like to keep my NetGear router because it has so many features and controlling it with an app sometimes is really usefull, but this 60mb/s limitation really forces me to take Mikrotik router instead.

My usage is gaming, game stream broadcasting. Online a lot of the times. Have only a handful of wi-fi devices. I've been through many tp-link routers. Ideally would want more value for money.

I recently updated my home network system since I got a Synology ds1522+ for video editing. But a bonus I was excited about was being able to fully utilize the 800 down I pay for from Xfinity. However, when I got the system up and running I noticed that whenever I download anything I can get it to go faster than 72mbps. Testmy.net was giving me a top download of 923mbps the 3 tests I've done downloading have been from: WeTransfer: 18mbps Google Drive: 69mbps Steam: 79mbps My system is a NETGEAR - Nighthawk 32 x 8 -> google wifi router -> NETGEAR Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS308) all wiring is cat6. Im kinda stumped as to why my speeds aren't lining up. Any suggestions? -
My ROUTER is a Netgear Nighthawk AC1750 R6700v3 During my 60 minute TeleHealth session with my health provider I lose video and audio connection but my provider says that they can still see my video and still hear my audio as I reconnect to the TeleHealth session. This same disconnect happens 6 up to 10 times during the TeleHealth session. My provider is using the same service with about 60 other clients and says that I am the only client who is having this disconnect problem. Also this disconnect problem happens with both my wireless laptop and my Ethernet wired to the router desktop computer. I have also tested my connection speeds both upload and download and it is averaging 315 Mbps therefore it's not a speed issue and the ping time to the first HOP is always under 5ms. What could be wrong with the Router or Router settings to cause these disconnects in Tele-Health sessions? Is their a website to test the “Tele-Health abilities” of my ROUTER? A Diagnostic of sorts? Is this kind of issue uniquie with brands or types of routers like my NETGEAR Nighthawk? Thanks so much and please reply... -
Hey there, first post on the site, thanks for being here! So I'm connecting a Netgear ReadyNas via ethernet to my computer and have no clue what I'm doing wrong. I'm including some screenshots, see if any of you guys have any tips/tricks! Essentially, I can see the Nas itself, but it's not showing any volumes, we did a wipe of the drive, it shows up on PC, but not on Nas (on Mac), it's a compatible Nas though.

hello all. i live in the midwest with gigabit fiber running to my house. i am hardwired to my router. I have gotten 960 mbps from my r8000 before, and i know that i am getting it from my isp. Right now i am getting between 250-400 mbps no more. i have tried everything a normal human being with no prior experience with routers can do and i am coming here to ask for help. QoS is turned off. nat filtering is off. igmp proxy is off. i have factory rest i have turned some features off and on to see if it helps and i have found nothing that works. i want to thank the fine community in advance, Tino -
Hello, My Netgear ReadyNAS RN102 didn't get up after the Update from 6.10.4 to 6.10.5, it was just blinking (probably stuck booting) indefinitely. I had an External HDD attached for backup (which always showed green, but the data is years old (yes, I know, a backup that isn't tested isn't a backup)) I’m pretty sure that the two 2TB disks are running in Raid1. I took both Disks out and tried to look at it in Linux. I see Partitions and all looks fine, but normal mounting does not work. I can provide dumps, logs if needed. So far, I tried the USB Recovery Tool, which changed the status light and got me a working ping, but nothing more after I let it run for hours. https://kb.netgear.com/29952/How-do-I-use-the-USB-Recovery-Tool-on-my-ReadyNAS-OS-6-storage-system I have no way of seeing what the NAS is doing, except looking at a few meaningless LEDs. My next step is to try the OS reinstall Option from the boot menu and if that doesn’t work, the factory reset. If that doesn't work, I want to try to mount it with mdadm. Which sounds relatively safe? After that, my last straw would be buying a new NAS and try to just plug the drives back in or get professional help. What do you think I should to next? Do my next steps sound sensible? I would describe myself very knowledgeable with IT, but I never really worked with RAIDs, and I’m a bit scared of losing my data. -
I'm looking for a reliable mesh system for a two storey building with a stone ceiling. It should be fast and reliable enough for PvP gaming upstairs. I have a cable modem downstairs at the moment, but possibly upgrading to fiber in the near future, so a bit of future proofing for the system is a plus. I'm looking at Linksys MX10 (AX5300 x3) and Netgear Orbi RBK853. Every review seems to find one or the other significantly less reliable than the other, many stating connection breaks and speed drops, etc and no two reviews seem to agree on anything... Good reviews seem almost nonexistent, really. Any recommendations for one of these or something else?

Hello all, So I recently moved places and in the new place we've got a central place where the internet comes in and gets to the rooms via wall cabling ending up in ethernet wall sockets connecting the different appliances with the router. When I route a cable directly from the wall socket in say "room 2" to a computer it works. Nonetheless sometimes after a reboot it will not find the network but after plugging it out and back in again it works. However the real problem is when I plug in the cable into a switch, to connect more to the single wall cable it gives me a "unidentified network no internet access" problem. I know the switch works however later today I can try an identical one to troubleshoot that. I'll be adding pictures of the set-up and warnings if necessary later however to give a schematic overview of the setup: Direct connect variant: DSL connection point --> Router (Fritz!Box 7590) --> Ethernet Cable (Cat 6) --> Wall Cable (unknown cable spec) --> Wall outlet --> Cable --> PC --working-- GS105 Switch variant: DSL connection point --> Router (Fritz!Box 7590) --> Ethernet Cable (Cat 6) --> Wall Cable (unknown cable spec) --> Wall outlet --> Cable --> GS105 Switch --> Cable --> PC --not working-- -
For love of all things holy!!! Please, please, please, make a video about how terrible Netgear has become. I brought a nighthawk after watching a Netgear sponsored video some time ago. I’ve had many Netgear products in the past, and I was excited to support the brand that support LTT. But, over the past few years Netgear has grown into the absolute worst big name router company. To be clear I’m not upset about the recommendation to buy Netgear products and it turn bad. Im a grown adult and make choices then have to live with those choices. To be fair the nighthawk was great for the first year or so…then the firmwares happened. They would either slow the router way down , or just completely brick the router forcing to factory reset. I don’t claim to be a networking power user by any means of the definition, nor should I or any customer need to be when buying a residential grade product. But I know enough to be dangerous and I know enough when I call to get issues fixed that the technician is either not fixing the real issues or reading a script and ignoring the customer completely. All of that is to sadly be expected nowdays, but Netgear then went ahead and went full superbaddy evil villain. The now only offer 90 day support for any issues. After that they will only start to even entertain questions about issues if you pay for their gearhead support. So currently they are providing broken firmware updates, that auto download unless you really dig into the interface and tell it not to, that cause your device to have issues. The real kicker is that you can only go so far back with the old firmware because then stop support at a point. They are breaking their products then forcing their customer to pay them to fix it. Wow….great business model. Guess you can’t fail when you pull that kind of heartless policy to make money. So please Linus I beg of you, look at the boards and even Netgear’s own community to see how bad this all is, maybe think about making a video to shed some light on this issue, maybe even save some people from buy a product from them. At the very least please use your resources to see if what I am saying is true. Who knows, I could just be the Ahole here. If that’s the case please tell me. I would like to know. :/

I brought the refurbed model with one satellite speaker. The router had the orange light on vs the blue light on the satelite. The MAC address was starting with a 10, which the ISP tech told me "it's acting like a bridge". The connection is from the outside ISP provided modem to this router. There is a post here to change the DNS server. I did that, no joy there. Any help is appreciated.

Hello! So I've been plagued with some issue with my home network the last few weeks after attempting to fix some DNS/wifi drop issues my roommate was having. Since attempting to use Google DNS and to modify the wifi settings so that it's consistent, I may have caused things to be worse so I'd like your wisdom to help me set up the router to play nicely with Destiny 2 and to help our DNS Lookup errors from plaguing us. I enabled UPnP on our router, and put the time to live in hops to about 50, and set the DNS server to Google's (8.8.8.8) (8.8.4.4) This is using a Netgear R8000 Nighthawk Router in a small apartment with a Netgear Modem. Our bandwidth heavy devices are wired in, especially after the wifi drops, and I've changed the broadcast frequency on the wifi radios to collide less with the nearby networks. So. If I factory reset the router and Modem, and set up port forwarding for Destiny and our other games, what else can I do to help with these DNS errors? I can handle a computer okay, but networking is something else. Thank you in advance, need more info feel free to ask. -
Hello friends. I recently purchased the Orbi AX4200 (Rbk750) from Costco. This is the WiFi 6 orbi router with 2 additional satellites making a 3 piece set. I’m running a gigabit plan through my service provider (Cox Communications, 1000mbps down, 40mbps up) but I’m getting maybe 200mbps on the satellite that is hard wired to my PC, and around 150mbps on both myself and my girlfriend iPhone 12 pro when standing directly in front of main router. Living in a 1700 sqft 2 bedroom apartment. The layout is as followed: Arris Surfboard docsis 3.1 modem (capable of up to 2000mbps) hardwired into router which both live in the living room. 60 feet away is the satellite in the office which is hardwired via a cat 6 Ethernet cable into my PC. And the other satellite 60 ft the opposite direction in our bedroom. Things I have done: Cox has had a technician come to my place and confirm advertised speeds are coming directly from modem. Also placed all brand new wiring and splitter. Exchanged entire orbi system with brand new set up from Costco sealed in box. Factory Reset orbi. Flashed new firmware directly onto router from PC. Attempted to change channels within router settings. Hours of tech support both chat and phone with net gear support. All of this to no avail, don’t know what to do. After exchanging 2 systems in a matter of 3 days I have lost confidence in the product and I know it’s not the service provider. Does anyone have a suggestion?

I'm looking for a new Wifi router for my 700 sqft apartment
Mad-Baron93 posted a topic in Networking
I'm trying to decide on a new router for my apartment. I currently have the ISP's inhouse modem router combo, which I hate with a passion. I have a Netgear CM1000 on order and I'm trying to debate on which router I should go with. My Current internet Speed is 500Mbps Down and 10 up. The router is basically going to site in the open front either wall mounted behind the TV stand or sitting front and center on top of the TV stand itself due to the limitation of my coax keystone drop location. I live alone and have about 10 devices wired and about 10 devices on wifi. I'm currently using 3 8 port Ethernet switches, 2 are daisy changed and one is stand alone. The Daisy chained ones are basically running a raspberry pi, 2 smart TVs and their sound bars, so nothing really major on those switches. I would personally like to give each switch a home run to the router and take my desktop off the stand alone switch and direct homerun it. I also have a raspberry pi server with a external storage drive connected to it. I also do some online gaming like GTAV, Call of Duty, World of Tanks, etc on console and PC. What I'm trying to debate on is which router I should purchase. If I go with front and center, I'm leaning towards either the Amplifi Alien, mostly due to its looks and reviews I've seen, or the Netgear RAX70-100NAS If I go with the wall option, I was thinking of going with an ASUS RT-AX88U or Netgear RAX48-100NAS If you have a better recommendation of a router than what I have listed, feel free to add it. -
We have multiple computers with Call of Duty (Modern Warfare and Cold War) and we always run into NAT TYPE STRICT errors. Port-forwarding on one computer will fix the issue, but Netgear does not allow port-forwarding the same UDP for multiple static addresses. Does anyone know how to port-forward to allow multiple computers on the same network to allow NAT TYPE OPEN for all computers, or have solutions on how to fix NAT TYPE for all computers?

Hello dear community, We have a full 10Gbe network in the office for our video production. Unfortunately I noticed that our systems with Threadripper 1950x as well as 2990wx only manage ~300 MB/s max in reading (writing is double @~700)+. Our NAS is a Synology FS3400 with 18x4TB SSDs. Connected to a Netgear M4300 x24-f24 via 4x10Gbe LACP. Our Windows Server 2016 with 4x10Gbe LACP is the only one that can nearly max out the full 10Gbe in both directions at CrystalDiskMark. Our Threaripper 3990x and all Intel systems also manage ~700mb here. Only the "older" Threadrippers do not. With iperf I don't get over 6Gbit/s in both directions (more than one thread). The bottleneck when reading is about the same as the performance with iperf with only one thread on the loopback. Could it have to do with the fact that the Aquantia agc107 which is installed onboard or also as a plug-in card in the form of an Asus XGC-100C only has 4x PCIe Gen 2.0? All PCs use this card, but the TR 1+2 Gen have deficits with it. I have now ordered a Mellanox Conect X 4 with RJ45 transceiver for testing. The card has PCIe Gen 3. I have also tried all settings in the network card. As well as other PCIe slots and drivers. I have also found two forums on the net where users describe this problem in connection with Windows 10 Pro 2004. For me, however, the problem exists with 1909 as well as 2004 and Windows 10 Pro for Workstation. I am open for ideas. Thanks a lot!

I am attempting to add a Unifi AP to my network and through it set up multiple VLANS. I understand how to create the wireless network and add the VLAN tag. I (think) know how to set up Pfsense to handle the VLAN traffic but I am unable to get the traffic from the AP through my Netgear GS724T Switch. I am not sure of I should be tagging or untagging the incoming traffic and where I should one sending that traffic. One thing to note is that port 1-4 are one LAG. Any help would be great. I am stuck.

Okay, so I got a NightHawk MK62 mesh network kit 2nd hand from family a while back. For the first couple months of using it, it's been okay, spare a few minor bugs. But THIS. THIS has broken the experience! So the other night, I upgraded the FW from 1.1.7.132 to 1.1.7.134. This is the result: Pausing internet for individual devices is now locked behind a f**king paywall (Screenshot 1, from the app, yes device names are blurred to avoid being doxxed), and it introduced a bug which prevents me from seeing which devices are online (as seen in screenshot 2, from the desktop control panel)!!! I know for a fact that at the moment there should be listed in the 2nd one: 1 laptop (the one I took the screenshot from) 1 satellite unit 2-3 phones 1 smart speaker, and 1 TV media player Why just those when there's more in shot 1? Well the web interface doesn't show devices not presently connected to it. I am not a tweeter, so I can't complain about it over there (the sitch looks pretty bad for them at the moment as well so...). So I decided to vent to the community here. If someone were to @ them over on Twitter though and link to this tweet, that would be great. Sometimes the only way to get a company to unf**k their mistakes is to generate lots of clout.

Is it just me or is TP Link as a brand severely underrated? From their Switches, to their CCTV Cameras, to their Wifi Mesh Pods, they seem to get a bad name for some reason Can anyone spread some light as to why? I've used netgear, linksys and TP link stuff in my home before, the TP Link stuff has smoked them both, from a price point, to a features point and a quality point

Does anybody know a custom firmware for Netgear N150 DGN1000B? I can't find one for it. I want to use it as a Repeater, but i can't do without a custom Firmware -
I just got the RAX120, but when I went to set it up, I found that I can't see the 5GHz band from any of my devices. I have multiple devices which support WiFi 6, but they can't see it either. I've checked that it is broadcasting and tried changing channels and modes, but I haven't had any luck. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'd really appreciate any help -- thanks in advance! Here are the 5GHz settings: Firmware version: V1.0.1.118 Model: RAX120|Nighthawk AX12 12-Stream WiFi Router

Important information: I have frontier internet (fiber) 500/500mbps Current router: Netgear Nighthawk X6S - Model: R7960P All tests were done on hard-wired internet Problem: So in the past whenever I downloaded games they would download at 45-55mb a second. Recently when I download games they hover around 20-30mb a second which is pretty much half as before. So I decided to try the router Frontier provided and all of a sudden downloads went back to 45-55mb a second. Obviously I want to use my Netgear router because it just simply has better wifi performance. So what am I doing wrong and how do I fix this problem? Update: still slow

Can y'all get Linus to respond about Netgear and the issues with it's WiFi 6 routers? Its been a long time since I've seen people complaining about missing features,firmware update issues and hardware issues and these are going unnoticed for a long time.
