    Couple older r7000's ...keep or go Orbi Mesh?

    So transfer a file from one device on wifi to another? e.g., two laptops running on the same 2.4ghz wifi? What do I use to check the speed of the transfer?

    Couple older r7000's ...keep or go Orbi Mesh?

    Okay, so...: Wired: - wired directly to the basement modem or the basement r7000 I'm getting 591/30mbps - similar speeds wired to the upstairs, actually speedtest is reading 801/41 from upstairs (weird...why would it be higher than the modem) Wifi from upstairs router (again, basement router...

    Couple older r7000's ...keep or go Orbi Mesh?

    Thanks.. Yes the slow speeds are the problem. If I was getting 200-300 on wifi I'd be pretty happy. Dropping to 100ish from a few feet away and 30 from maybe 20-30 feet is ridiculously slow. Hence why I was wondering about a Mesh system, but I would think a wired AP system would work better...

    Couple older r7000's ...keep or go Orbi Mesh?

    So here is my setup: 1. Rogers Internet via Hitron modem, gateway turned off so just used as a modem not a router, at homerun location in basement. "Gigabit" claimed speeds. 2. Single r7000 hooked up (via WAN) to the Hitron noted above. Running xVortex with an OpenVPN server that I use so I...

    Samsung Galaxy S6 Android 7.0 and OpenVPN Issues

    Just for fun I tried the same app settings in my Galaxy S8 and guess what? The same settings cause that phone to stop connecting to OpenVPN. Just plain weird.

    Samsung Galaxy S6 Android 7.0 and OpenVPN Issues

    Well...figured it out, only took a couple days and a ton of trial and error...ha. In case anyone else has the same issue, in the OpenVPN app on Android I had to go into preferences, and then in VPN Protocol I had to specifically select "UPD" instead of the default "Adaptive". Also, had to...

    Samsung Galaxy S6 Android 7.0 and OpenVPN Issues

    Also googled and saw this post from someone with a similar issue: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/openvpn-android-client-cannot-access-lan-network-or-services-rt-3200.36879/ So set my LAN DHCP DNS 1 server to 192.168.1.1 which is my router IP address, and then DNS2 to 8.8.8.8 as suggested...

    Samsung Galaxy S6 Android 7.0 and OpenVPN Issues

    Still at it as it's driving me crazy. I've compared the log in files when connecting to OpenVPN from my S8 (which works fine) and then connecting with my S6. Save for the individual IP addresses of the phones themselves, the log files are identical. Oddly, when I connect with the S8 file, I...

    Samsung Galaxy S6 Android 7.0 and OpenVPN Issues

    So tried a full factory reset on my wife's Galaxy S6. Checked again that all battery optimizing features were off, reinstalled OpenVPN, setup a new profile on my router and exported a new OpenVPN file to the phone. Same issue. OpenVPN connects on the phone just fine. But trying to connect to...

    Samsung Galaxy S6 Android 7.0 and OpenVPN Issues

    Yes, I disconnect the wifi from the S6 before I connect via OpenVPN. The app shows a connection, but when I then go to a broswer and try to access a local IP address, it won't connect to anything (or occasionally does but takes forever).

    Samsung Galaxy S6 Android 7.0 and OpenVPN Issues

    Hi All, I recently implemented OpenVPN on my Asus firmware router. Main thing was to ensure proper security when accessing my IP cameras remotely using an app like iVMS-4500. All works fine with my Samsung S8 phone using the OpenVPN app. However, I simply can't connect to anything on my LAN...

    WAN or LAN port when using router as access point?

    So I have two netgear r7000s, one of which I want to setup as an access point and use the same ssid. The Netgear instructions say to plug into the wan port of the router to be used as an access point. But elsewhere I've read to plug into the Lan port. What is the right method and or does it...

    Netgear R7000, DD-WRT firmware, USB Share Ext3 Issues...

    Hi Guys, Looking for some help with setting up a USB share drive on my Netgear R7000 which I've flashed with Kong's DD-WRT firmware. I am trying to setup a share drive (3TB Seagate) attached to the USB 3.0 port on the router. After reading a bit online, it seemed that the ext3 file system...

    Odd issue with Netgear R7000 and Hitron CGN3

    Figured I'd drop back to close the loop. Turns out all I had to do was connect my laptop to the router, then in the Internet Setup section of the Advanced setup routine clone my computers MAC address instead of using the router's address. Not sure why I didn't do that the first time around...

    Odd issue with Netgear R7000 and Hitron CGN3

    If this works, could I then disconnect the switch and connect it directly, or in your experience do you have to leave the switch connected? Thx!

    Odd issue with Netgear R7000 and Hitron CGN3

    That is what the ISP tech guy did. I actually did it myself the first time (turning off the wireless function and the Gateway functionality puts the Hitron into Bridge mode), but when that didn't work I reset it. Called up Rogers and they put it into Bridge mode to try it as well with the same...

    Odd issue with Netgear R7000 and Hitron CGN3

    Hmm.. Doesn't appear that option exists in the Hitron menus.
