    NETGEAR "Stealthily" Releases the Nighthawk X6S R7960P

    Unlike Netgear's consumer routers, UPnP is disabled by default on their business class routers. It had to be specifically enabled on this router. I believe @e38BimmerFN has it correct that switching the 'NAT Filtering' option to 'Open' (ultimately enabling Full Cone NAT) is the key to your...

    NETGEAR router with link aggregation

    It's the RAX120 that supports both but are mutually exclusive :( What's weird is that the R7960P supports both by using the LAN4 port (far right port) to aggregate with the WAN port (far left port) since the LAN1 and LAN2 ports are used for LAN aggregation. I'm curious why they didn't do the...

    R8500 has it as well, but only on the LAN.

    NETGEAR router with link aggregation

    Custom firmware build for R9000 v. 1.0.4.30HF/1.0.4.30HF-HW

    @Voxel I see you changed the TCP Congestion Control Algorithm to Westwood+. Did you happen to perform any benchmarking, testing, etc between some of the different algorithms? Do you happen to know what flavor Netgear usually implements in their routers? BIC, CUBIC, YeAH-TCP, etc?

    Netgear R7960P (Costco) covert to R8000P?

    Take a look here to compare all of Netgear's Nighthawk routers. You will see that the R7800 is Qualcomm-based and the R7900P/R7960P/R8000P are Broadcom-based. It's really like comparing apples to oranges. Pro and Cons to each. https://wikidevi.com/wiki/List_of_Netgear_Nighthawk_Products

    Netgear R7960P (Costco) covert to R8000P?

    R7960P is better than the R7000P/R8000P as it supports WAN Aggregation and Circle with Disney... neither of which will be supported in the older models, AFAIK. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/netgear-stealthily-releases-the-nighthawk-x6s-r7960p.56063/ The only thing I can find that the...

    Issue with DNSCrypt-Proxy version 2 & R9000 & V1.0.4.29HF

    All you are supposed to do nowadays is: nvram set dnscrypt2=1 nvram commit and then reboot your router

    Netgear Router Hidden Pages

    Thanks, but unfortunately the contents were uneventful :( It seems the RAX80 and RAX120 have a long way to go. They seem to contain a lot less software features than "normal". The R9000 is feature rich in comparison, but it wasn't always like that. Netgear usually pushes out their new...

    You might telnet into each router to see what's available: telnet 192.168.x.x cd /www ls *hidden*.htm* -l (lists all the "hidden" pages) ls *.htm* -l (lists ALL .htm/.html pages) For example, here's the output from my R9000: root@R9000:/www# ls *hidden*.htm* -l -rwxrwxr-x 1 root root...

    Which do you feel is the better router ATM? The RAX80 or RAX120? Based on software features, compatibility, and stability... not based on specs alone.

    Would you mind posting screenshots of the debug.htm and hidden_cpu.htm hidden pages for the RAX80? The RAX80 is actually supposed to have dual quad-core CPUs: "Nighthawk AX8 is powered by a 64-bit 1.8GHz quad-core processor designed to transfer multi-gigs of data with almost zero CPU load.An...

    @avtella Please post a screenshot of the debug.htm hidden page for the RAX120. I am looking for support for 802.11k - Smart Roaming. I know the R7800 (inside debug.htm only) and R9000 (officially, inside Wireless Settings) support it.

    Is the stock Netgear R7800 QoS really this bad?

    My ISP is Cable ONE, and I'm on their GigaONE asymmetrical gigabit plan (1000/50). Although they haven't upgraded to DOCSIS 3.1 (they JUST finished upgrading their infrastructure in my area to support gigabit over DOCSIS 3.0), they have implemented QoS which provides me with consistent A+...
