Hi, I am looking for a new router that allows me to do these: 1. Block internet access by schedule per device bases on Mac address. 2. allows the controlled mac addresses above to access some domains. 3. all other devices are not affected by the rules above. I want my son to access school...

I assumed you schedule to turn on and off the guest wifi. when it slows down like that, do you have to reboot the router or you just turn off then turn on the radio only? if the later then you can schedule to turn off the radio a short period for example as the workaround. Mine is running great...

Did you check the memory and CPU status when it is slow? what is the lease time for DHCP clients?

Hi Guys, I was using the WNDR3700 with DD_WRT installed. I love the flexibility of the DD-WRT but then the performance is really bad. Then I got the Asus RT-N56U for free but it doesn't have guest wifi and parental control. I set the Asus as the AP only which boosts the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz speed but...

I found the TP-Link routers also provides good parental control. thanks

Hi, I have WNDR3700 loaded with wrt-dd which give me a lot of controls but the performance is terrible it stops assigning ip addresses to the devices that are connected to the bridge. I am looking for a new router that gives me the same or similar access control like the wrt-dd firmware. I want...

Hi guys, I have a refurb netgear WNDR3700(v1) and it was working great at first ( great coverage, fast) but then occasionally it couldn't get the IP address from ATT dsl modem. Then my brother gave me his WNDR3700(v4)(bought new) that he stopped using for the same reason (he has comcast modem)...

Hello, I found the work around for my issue. I re-enabled the router function of the 2Wire modem and let it handles the PPPoE connection with ATT. The 2Wire router has subnet 192.168.0.* with DHCP enabled. I connected the WAN port of the Netgear router to the 2Wire modem. The netgear is still...

I built my freeNas for data storage and dLNA server. 2TB raid 1 for important files and 6TB for movies and music. Video files from camcorder and raw photos are quite large so I want fast transfer speed.

I used to have NS4300 and then NS4600 and they both drove me crazy. The last problem was the power supply died. I managed to get a replacement thanks Alibaba expess :) to but the NIC stopped working so I was stuck. Luckily my brother has one so I can borrowed and spent a week to play with it and...

I didn't realized the new AC is all about 5Ghz. I need to visit this site again. I would have a second thought about my current setup if I knew about the new AC router . However, the WNHDB3004 works well since it has 4 ports. Tim, have you ever tested the ac router by streaming both bands...

I have a NAS and couple wired PCs so I don't need to say more about it ad many have pointed out. I found many new routers have dual bands and that the factor that drives the cost up. How many users really need 5ghz ? There are not many clients support 5ghz and the range is so bad that It is...

I had a similar problem with my Netgear switch GS108 when using Cat6 cables. It works fine with Cat5e.

I have a netgear WNDR3700V1 which provide really good coverage in my 2 story house. I stayed with Netgear after trying DLink 655 adn 825 and both failed to reach the corner. The problem is the internet stops working after 3-4 days and I have to reset the router. I can login the router, wired...

My Promise box PS failed and I couldn't talk to it after trying hard to find a replacement PS and boot it up again. It's really suck that they advised me to get a new one in order to retrieved my data (another $300? no thanks). I managed to borrow another unit NS4600 but it couldn't import the...
