    Having trouble with dual wan on RT-AX89X & Netgear CM2000, only works if you unplug the ethernet

    My issue seems to be discussed in this thread also https://www.snbforums.com/threads/dual-wan-watchdog-failback-not-working-as-it-should.32581/ (from 2016)

    Having trouble with dual wan on RT-AX89X & Netgear CM2000, only works if you unplug the ethernet

    I've experimented a bit more, the problem (disconnecting from the running failover secondary) happens only if the primary has link AND is able to get an address somehow. This can be either a static or DHCP address. My cable modem starts an internal DHCP server when the cable is down (for...

    Having trouble with dual wan on RT-AX89X & Netgear CM2000, only works if you unplug the ethernet

    I have a new RT-AX89X (A2, running current as of 3/11/2021 firmware) attached to a Netgear CM2000 cable modem (via 10g port) and a cellular modem (ethernet) in the wan port. Failover works fine if you unplug the cable modem ethernet port, but if you just unplug the coax it doesn't. If you have...

    RT-AX89X

    I'm just guessing, but maybe the router draws 10W, so adding another 3W should still be within it's safety margin. The fan on mine seems to be vastly overpowered even on low. Maybe I'd be worried if there were electrolytic caps next to the SFP slot, but otherwise it is probably OK. I...

    RT-AX89X

    I had my 89 for two weeks and just started having problems with ntp not syncing and the network map showing the wan port as disconnected, it was after I went in and started trying to get dual wan working (but I turned it back off). I tried downgrading to my previous version but still had the...

    Has anyone confirmed a working copper SFP+ for the AX89?

    HomePlug AV2 Head-To-Head

    Yes, it would be strange, but that was my guess from looking at the boards. Maybe I can take some photos and upload them.

    HomePlug AV2 Head-To-Head

    I'm looking at the Zyxel now. It's 99.8% identical to the Allnet and is clearly made by the same Taiwanese company. Looking at the design more closely, it appears to be missing an optoisolator between the "line" section and the "analog" section that the Linksys has, in addition to a bunch of...

    HomePlug AV2 Head-To-Head

    Thanks, I had read that. I apologize if I don't get the "level" right on this question, I'm a firmware engineer working on small home net devices (and in the past larger ones like routers and switches), I don't know your background so I'll just have to wing it. Let me try to clarify a bit...

    HomePlug AV2 Head-To-Head

    AV2 comparison article Thanks for the review, I have a few questions/observations that may be relevant. Please note I haven't actually tried the Zyxel, but it appears identical to the Allnet which I have tested. I do have the Zyxel on order and will likely test it this week. Regrettably...
