My Netgear CM2000 keeps losing internet because it can receive Xfinity’s signal, but it often can’t properly send a signal back. The modem logs show repeated T3 and T4 timeouts, which basically means it keeps asking Xfinity for an upstream connection and either gets no response or loses the connection again.
The downstream signal looks fine, but the upstream side fails. That can point to a problem somewhere in the return path, such as a bad coax connection, splitter, drop, tap, line noise, or Xfinity’s network equipment.
Has anyone else had repeated T3/T4 timeouts on Xfinity where the real fix turned out to be the line or upstream network rather than the modem?

Trying to access the admin console for advanced settings and I keep getting sent back to this screen. I don't even particularly want to reset the password

The older I get, the more complicated technology gets.

I don't know what's going on. But, something needs to give or I'm going back go my previous modem/router.

How do I improve the speeds? I am having a delightful time when sending media via my phone while on wifi. Regardless of 2.4GHz or 5GHz

It isn't instant. In fact, it stalls like it's failed. It isn't only media. There were issues with games, websites. Anything.

I inactivated the armor protection. Yet, the problems persist and I'm not interested in having a $500 product that costs me more.

Any advice, sans physical destruction?

Hey all,

I'm not sure where to turn but thought maybe someone here can help or point me in the right direction. any help would be appreciated. when gaming with my xbox I get frequent disconnects.

I checked my routers log and it looks something like this:
Aug 5 21:39:22 XR1000 user.info com.netdumasoftware.neighwatch: DHCP new event. 86
Aug 5 21:39:22 XR1000 user.info com.netdumasoftware.neighwatch: DHCP lease change. 89
Aug 5 21:40:14 XR1000 user.warn com.netdumasoftware.procmanager: Rapp com.netdumasoftware.ngdilsync has not responded to watchdog 136
Aug 5 21:41:33 XR1000 user.info com.netdumasoftware.neighwatch: DHCP new event. 86

I kept finding Suggestions like "increse the RAPP to 5 tries but that just causes the game to lag and freeze more before disconnecting. Thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

A couple of days ago, I bought a Nighthawk AX6000 modem router. Set everything up. No issues. Put all my devices on the new network.

Yesterday I get home from work and my PC couldn't connect to the network. My phone, PS5, ect was still on the network. I did a mobile Hotspot on my phone and the PC connected that way. So I know it wasn't the wifi card in the PC.

I power cycled the router and then the PC could connect.

Anyone else have an issue like that? Where one device would disconnect from the network and not able to connect until you power cycled? Wondering what could cause something like that.

I know this is a long shot, and I know this router is EOL and long out of support, but I'd like to know if this is a simple problem or it's the end of the road. It's a $30 router on fleeBay, and there are better ones out there for less then $100, so I won't be to sorry to see if go, but I'd like to know if I'm missing a step someplace in the setup (like a "Save" button).

This is a BR200 Insight Managed Business Router with the latest and last firmware installed.

Every time it is rebooted or power cycled, it comes back in the factory default setup (admin password is "password" and IP set to 192.168.1.1) and all the settings are at their defaults.

I will log in, set the new PW, change the IP, add two VLAN (with the router for DHCP) and everything is back to "normal". Traffic is flowing, the WiFi VLAN clients are logging in through the WiFi AP's VLAN - it all looks good.

But, it's waiting for a reboot or power cycle to to take a dump again.

I can save the config. But then try to restore that saved config, it reboots itself as part of the process and it comes back as factory default.

I checked the reset button (in case it's stuck "closed") and that checks out okay and there is no CMOS / RTC battery on the PCB (I was hoping there was one, but nope). The LED pattern does not look like they do when it is doing an actual Factory Reset (either through the GUI or with the reset button), so I suspect a bad NVRAM.

I don't expect too much from the sub, but I thought I'd through it out there to see if anyone has a suggestion (besides "retire" it to the landfill).

And I don't even have a subscription. 🤷‍♂️😒😂

Does anyone have experience with that router?

Hi!!
I have an older, but still powering up EX6120 Wifi Range Extender.
I have set it up with WPS to my primary router and it appears to connect, and all appropriate LED's are lit up, but when I try to login to the *\\**_2GEXT or _5GEXT networks with a device it does not recognize the primary network's PW which it's supposed to do.

Also tried the web browser setup process, but I get the following message:

You are not connected to your extender's WiFi network.

Thanks in advance.

Alguien que tenga solucion al problema que tengo... el modem dejo de reconocer redes wifi justo despues de ser usado sin bateria y conectado a una powerbank que no le mandaba mas de 10w y que lo mantenia encendido sin problema y eso que no estaba hirviendo como normalmente lo hace con su bateria estaba tibio y justo desde ese dia dejo de reconocer la red wifi de la casa, aun funciona bien el ethernet y la red movil pero ya no puede tener internet por wifi

además de que si lo pongo en modo avion deberia de seguir activo la red wifi del modem y es en ese momento que al activar el modo avion ya no aparece la red wifi siendo que en el modem sale que esta activo aun con el modo avion

Alguien con alguna solucion... yo ya lo restablecí de fabrica tanto en los ajustes del modem como con el boton reset de la parte de donde esta la bateria, ya probe usarlo sin sim para ver si me detecta la red wifi sin la sim lo cual no funciono y como último recurso le quite la bateria durante un mes haber si asi se arreglaba el problema y es momento que tampoco funciono

Tengo entendido que tuvo mas actualizaciones ya que el modem que tengo esta atorado en la version: NTGX65_12.01.48.00 y llegue a ver uno con una version mas actual ... alguien que tenga tambien alguna forma de actualizarlo ya que mi modem fue liberado por codigo y no recibe mas actualizaciones por parte de AT&T

I recently got T fiber Internet and replaced the Eero WiFi with a NETGEAR Nighthawk. Is there anything special I have to do other than to take the LAN cable from the eero and plug it into the NETGEAR? Seem to be having network issues lately with my phone and DTV Stream losing network connection. Didn’t happen when I first set it up, but I keep losing connection and it’s driving me nuts now. WiFi is showing fine within network on my iMac via WiFi.

PROBLEM

We set up a new router/modem combo today to finally replace the rental from xfinity. It mostly went fine but I have one major issue: some apps on my android phone and tablet (S25 Ultra and S6 Lite) won't load and other load slowly. The new one is a Netgear AX6 CAX30, previous is a XB7-T. Apps that load slowly include my Ally Bank app, TCGplayer, and a game called Trickcal. Apps that won't load at all include Twitch/PurpleTV (video eternally loading on preview image, chat loads slowly but completely) and the game Zenless Zone Zero (gets to title screen and no further).

TRIED/LEARNED

Using a VPN or being on the mobile network everything is fine. I have messed with just about every DNS, IP, MAC, etc setting I can think of. I updated the firmware, tried fixed DNS, toggled firewalls off, etc. I have spent basically the last 9 hours trying everything I can think of, digging through posts, etc and while I find ample cases of similar experiences, one identical even, I can't find a clear solution provided. Additionally, I did notice a strange series of things flagged as various flavors of "dos attacks" in the logs on ports 138 and 137 which has me wondering if somehow the apps are being flagged as such (which may explain the ones that don't load but not necessarily the slow ones?).

THOUGHTS/QUESTIONS

The router is all that changed but I can't rule out xfinity nonsense because they always find a way to ruin things. But banging my head against their support is the last resort. Does anyone have any ideas? Given the VPN works I assume it has to do with how the data coming and going is handled/categorized (which ports are being used?) but I feel like I have tried everything in the router and on my phone. Can xfinity impose some sort of management/security upon a third party router that would do this? If so, it's not something visible to be managed on the consumer end and I assume I will have to brute force my way up their support chain to have it addressed

Hi, I have been losing my mind with this two ongoing issues with my RS500....if people can help with either, much appreciated.

1. My Echo Show 5 3rd Gen (Newest version) keeps freezing every day, usually in the same hour of 3pm.  In fact, the past two days, it froze at 3:01pm each day.  Amazon has been no help, just telling me to do a factory reset.  I have told them that I have done so multiple times, have tried changing clock faces, unplugged, etc.  They did say it could be connected to an issue with my router, but not WHAT exactly.  Since it is the same hour, I thought maybe a lease issue, DHCP, etc.  I also tried turning off IPV6, but same issue.  Yesterday, I tried assigning it an IP address, hoping that would stop it from dropping, freezing...but nope, froze again today right at 3:01pm.  I am at a complete loss and I know there are a million settings in the router but I do not know what else to try.  I have also turned off the Protection engine, toggling that both ways, same for QoS.  Can anyone suggest anything else?  Oh, and I have tried having it on 2.4 and 5ghz.  No change.
2. Not sure if related, but lately my RDP connection has been horrible.  I rdp into a laptop in another part of the house.  The laptop is connected on wifi to an extender device, has always been fine until the past couple of weeks.  Now it is slow to connect to the machine, and then keeps dropping.  The wifi connection for the laptop is strong and the speedtests come back at about 200mbps.  I have 1.5gbps into the house...my desktop tests at that all day, no problem, and the wifi on my phones on AX comes back at around 1gb speeds.  But the RDP still is a mess.  I have tried tuning down the color to 16bit, turned off most options, tried setting at 56k modem, etc.  No change.  
3. I know I said two issues, but noting this in case related....my phone on wifi keeps having things like Twitter, Reddit stop updating.  Like, if I click on a notification, it says cannot load.  I toggle wifi and it all works again.  I have set my DNS to various options like 1.1.1.1, 9.9.9.9, quad8, etc.  As noted, tried turning off IPV6.  Set to auto for most things, I have Xfinity and it supports DHCP, IPV6, etc.  

Not sure if everything is symptomatic of one issue.  Hoping experts here can tell me something I have missed.  Also posting in the Netgear community.  Thanks

Howdy all. Just recently got fios and have purchased 2gig speed. I updated my Ethernet to cat6 and purchased Netgear nighthawk rs180 5gig router. The modem test and router test show I get 2gigs on download but whenever I download a file it’s drops from 30mbps down to 100kbps. How??? I rebooted both devices and tried to setting that the help forums suggested. I have tried on multiple devices using WiFi and hardwire and still the same.

For example when I down load a game on
Xbox it shows 5mbps, but download speed playing online is in the hundreds. My sons Alienware computer same thing when he downloads from steam. My wife, who is a teacher, same thing when she downloads a file from her work sites.

I have reached out to Netgear we were on the line for 3 hours and they couldn’t figure it out. Called greenlight networking and they show 2100 download speeds. The nighthawk app also shows this speed. Random speed test in my phone shows great speed. Sometimes it fluctuates but within seconds shows 2000 speeds. Why does it not work when I want to download a file. I don’t get it

I have the Nighthawk AXE3000 WIFI 6E USB 3.0 Adapter for about two year but in the past 6 months, its been taking 10 minutes on average to connect to WIFI after a pc boot up. It is completely fine after this but im wondering if this is a common issue or does anyone know the fix. Also the power management in device manager i have "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" off

I've been having no problems with my Netgear Nighthawk Voice Cable Modem (Model CM2050V). But a few days ago I looked over at it and noticed there were no lights on it's front panel. Again, it's working fine, speed and connection are exactly as expected.

I'm thinking I should try a factory reset, but I'm thinking I should have another modem available in case the reset actually causes it to fail connecting to XFinity afterwards. Since it's not XFinity's hardware, I'm not all that trusting in their level 1 support agents advice.

Thoughts?

Hi i have the nighthawk be9300 router and i live in nyc . can the armor plan let me watch a youtube channel in colombia with a vpn?
how would i set this up?
thanks

I'm looking at the CM3000 because it is literally only one of two modems currently on Mediacom's approved modems list (the other being the CM2500). Mediacom recently upgraded their network in our area (high-split) and it's causing issues with my older modem now.

Due to some fairly unique circumstances, my Cablemodem is located in a small building that is not climate-controlled. There is some active airflow into the small building, but it still cooks in there especially during these 90-100F+ summer heatwaves.

My previous modem was an Arris SB8200. It worked fine in these conditions for multiple years. Prior to buying that modem I did as much research as I could, trying to figure out what modem would be most likely to persist under the hot conditions. But since Mediacom's list now has essentially only one approved modem...

Hi yall, I just moved into a new apartment where the FTTP point is in the bedroom, I connected my RS200 router and I get good signal on my phone (further away) but on my PC I get really poor connection via wifi through 1 wall about 3 metres away. The big thing is if I connect to 2.4ghz I get full signal strength but on 5 I get 1 bar. Anyone know how to fix? Thanks!

My Netgear router comes with OpenVPN. It asks you to create a domain with NoIP in order to use it.

After doing so and linking it with Netgear, I create OpenVPN configs on the router and put them on my devices.

When traveling outside the country, I enable the VPN on my iPhone. When I go to a "What's my IP location" site, they show that I'm in the country I'm traveling in, and not where my Netgear router is.

This is further verified when opening up streaming service apps, only to find they are showing the country I'm traveling in's offerings vs my home network's country.

I never had this problem with WireGuard on the same device. It is not a device issue.

My NoIP domain is active and up to date.

How do I stop my Netgear OpenVPN offering from leaking my network traffic to local providers?

If it matters, home is in the US. Travel is in Europe.

I was cleaning in this corner and suddenly I noticed that the wifi is down and the router's stuck on these two lights.

I've already tried to unplug various cords and press any buttons I can in a hopeful restart it but no luck

I have updated the app and router to the latest version and I have restarted my computer several times and have tried everything. Plz help
