    Dynamic DNS - unable to complete the job

    Hi, I have had to reset my router, and I am setting up the dynamic DNS again - I have a mynetgear hostname, provided by No IP. When I enter the details in the Dynamic DNS page on the router, I get an error which says: "Unable to complete the job, reason:" - but no reason is given. I think I...

    "Available Network Folders" in USB Storage (Advanced Settings)

    Hi all, In the USB Storage (Advanced Settings) page, there is a section which implies that my attached harddrive has been assigned the letter U:\ and as such I was expecting it to appear in Windows Explorer on my PC as such. But no - the only way I seem to be able to access the drive from...

    OpenDNS with R7800

    Hi I concluded that it wasn't working because OpenDNS have a test page at https://welcome.opendns.com which returns a tick if it's working and cross if it isn't. I was getting the cross, but found that I could get the tick if I manually changed the DNS server addresses on my PC. I actually...

    OpenDNS with R7800

    No worries. Incidentally, if I manually change the DNS of my phone or PC, then OpenDNS does seem to work - so it does look as though there is an issue with my router not being configured correctly to pass the correct DNS servers to the connected devices.

    OpenDNS with R7800

    The WAN IP of the router is the one it gets from my ISP - so a public IP address

    OpenDNS with R7800

    Hi The 192.168.0.1 is the router LAN IP. The modem is a Virgin Media super hub (so called) running in modem only mode. As far as I know it is not in bridged mode. Thanks, jra505

    OpenDNS with R7800

    Dear all, Has anyone had any success using OpenDNS with a R7800? I'm running the latest Voxel firmware and the latest Kamoj add in. I've followed all the instructions to set up OpenDNS, and changed the DNS addresses on the router, to the ones they specify. But, everytime I visit their test...

    Unknown MAC address

    I'm beginning to think that the device does not exist and is showing in the "attached devices" screen of the router due to a bug. I've read that a lot of Netgear routers have suffered from bugs with this aspect for years. I've run an app on my phone called Network Scanner, which purportedly...

    Unknown MAC address

    Hi, Thanks for your replies, however I don't think that it is the explanation. This mysterious MAC address appears in addition to the expected MAC address for my phone, and is assigned a different IP address. If I turn my phone off, the expected MAC address disappears off the list of connected...

    Unknown MAC address

    Hi, I've just noticed a MAC address that I don't recognise, apparently connected to my R7800. According to the router, it is a Huawei phone - the same model as the one that I use, and is already connected to the router with a MAC address that I do recognise. I've searched the unknown MAC...

    Voxel Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.79SF

    Hi Just curious, has anyone had any issues with the media server stopping and needing to be reset with the latest Voxel firmware? It might be a coincidence, but it's happened to me twice now since I installed the latest firmware. Thanks, jra505
