    Failover Option for Netgear X4S R7800?

    Thanks, that does make it harder. Any idea if Voxel or custom FW will offer it? Rather new to Netgear (and not really a fan yet). Makes the Synology a better option it seems? Though it is $60 more [emoji848] Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

    Failover Option for Netgear X4S R7800?

    Didn't realize that Netgear was going to have a new UI. Their current UI is definitely not appealing. Have they done a beta or shown what it will look like? Any idea on the failover option for the R7800? Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

    Failover Option for Netgear X4S R7800?

    Hello Was wondering if the R7800 has a failover option? Contemplating between this and the Synology AC2600 and hard to believe that they have very similar specs even though they launched almost 2 years apart! Any suggestions which has the better FW/SW? Coming from an ASUS RT-N66U which is...

    Switches Not Connecting at 1000Mbps

    Looks like I found the issue: it was the cable that was connected from primary switch to the wall port that would then connect the secondary switch. Switching that out helped. Just a bit more information as a lesson learnt as to what I did to troubleshoot: I took the secondary switch from...

    Thank you so much for all these feedback. Was going to try the suggestions but then we got 8 inches of snow :( Will give this a try and report back here. Thank you so much for all these feedback.

    Switches Not Connecting at 1000Mbps

    Good Day I have wired the house with Cat 5e ethernet cables. My cable modem connects to a WiFi router that connects to a TP-LINK TL-SG108 switch. This switch then connects to other devices, routers that have been converted to switches and switches. The issue I have is the connection...

    u and l channel

    Good Day I'm rather confused about the 'u' and 'l' channel in the Wireless settings for Control Channel. For example, I see some channels like Channel 1 only have an 'l' beside it while others like Channel 11 have a 'u'. Other channels like 6 have an 'l' and a 'u'. If I want to be on...

    Not Seeing GRO Option?

    Good Day I am running stock firmware (3.0.0.4.370_172) on my RT-N66U but I do not see the option to enable/disable GRO in Advanced Settings > LAN > Switch Control. Am I missing something?

    What do I lose if I move to DD-WRT?

    Hello I just got the RT-N66U and am contemplating installing DD-WRT firmware. I came from a Linksys (E2000) which had DD-WRT because the stock Linksys firmware just didn't include sufficient features. The N66U seems to come with a lot of stock features built-in which seems to do what I...

    Question about Cloud Station

    Good Day Is there a way to specify which folders I want to back up to Cloud Station? It seems to remind me of Dropbox where it creates and syncs only 1 folder. Please tell me I am wrong :)

    Is this possible?

    Thank you for the feedback on this. What is this feature called so that I can check? Does the QNAP TS112 and Synology DS212j have this feature?

    Is this possible?

    Good day If I have a 2 bay, would it be possible to set up shares on which disks I choose. I guess what mean is, could those 2 disks function as 2 separated disks?

    Out with the old, In with the new. Need advice on QNAP and Synology

    Thanks for the heads up Tim. The only Pogoplug feature I want is the ability to seamlessly switch between LAN and WAN access when needed without my intervention. It seems that Cloud Station on DSM4 does just that :) Do you know if QNAP has a similar 'Cloud Station' or 'Dropbox-like'...
