Last June of 2020, I replaced my ARRIS Motorola router with my current Netgear Nighthawk R7000P. With Spectrum internet, I am on their 30 Mbps data plan. I hardwired using Cat6 Ethernet cables, from my Nighthawk directly into each of the two TV'S. With 30 Mbps, Spectrum tells me I can use up to five devices, at a time, but usually, it's either my netflix, or Prime, and seldom is my android connected to same network, so basically, my Smart TV.
Spectrym told me today, that it's not a very good practice, or good for the router, to be forced to power on, power off my router, everytime I want to steam a network app. With my TV's both hardwired, why do I also need to sign onto my WI-FI?
I might need to update the firmware on my netgear, but ran into problems trying to update my EX6100 Extender. Ive downloaded the latest version, but need to find out how to upgrade to, 1.3.2.134 version.
My router is powered on 24/7, but at times, whenever I start watching netflix, or another network app, I get the streaming problems, and I get freezing issues, and very slow response from the remote, then, I'm dead in the water, UNTIL, i have to go back into my router, shut off, or disconnect cable, wait a few minutes, then have to go into network settings, sign into my Wi-Fi network settings, then also sign into my WIRED connection, then I am able to watch another movie or two, before this happens all over again. Although I have 30 Mbps, My speed test shows DOWNLOADS @ 35.16 Mbps/ UPLOADS @ 4.69 Mbps, Ping @ 11 MS.
Everyone keeps telling me that doing this every day can cause problems with this router, IF SO, what the heck can I do to fix this, since Netgear does not care at all, about their customers, once they get their money? Not even one year old, and I can not contact support!!! This is BS!
Had I known about the one to two hour wait times, calling Pakistan, or the Phillipines, even though, they have one office in San Jose, Cal. then have difficulty trying to undersatnd their broken english, I never would have bought this router, and will never buy another netgear product knowing, what I know now! What makes this router so great?
I can not simplify my issue, to understand, I truly need to explain. I am NOT talking about my EXT6100 Extender, I am talking about my Nighthawk R7000P, and after watching a few network apps, or streaming movies, the signal starts buffering, slowing down, the remote is not responsive, then I have to refresh my wired/WiFi signal by and powering the router OFF. I wait for a few minutes, then power back on
on, then I need to go to TV's menu, click on Wifi and Internet settings, and click on my network (SSID) it does not work, so then I need to clock on WIRED, click CONNECT, and then I am able to continue watching my movies. My data plan gives me 30Mbps, my speed states I am downloading @35.16mbps. You, or someone mentioned I do not need to click on BOTH Wifi SSID, and WIRED, but this is why, I need to get into my Router settings.
I getting looped into having to answer my two questions, over and over, so I tried to do a hardware reset, puched in the RESET on back of router, went into my Router login.net, asks for my S/N,then my email, and password, then those two questions again!
You said, "One or the other, preferably the wired connection. It is more reliable and almost certainly faster." This was why I need to see if any router settings are misconfigured. if I choose WIRED CONNECTION, an error pops up telling me, "FAILED, I am connected to the Internet, but not to my network."
trust me, the only way I can get to the internet to watch a darn streaming Youtube, or Netflix, I need to go into my Internet Settings, then I need to DO BOTH, (WIRED AND WIFI) in order for this to work. Spectrum said they are not to blame, that my router must be configured properly, and if you tell me that I do not need BOTH WIRED and WIFI, then it must be my router settings.
But I can not get beyond those two nagging questions like which netgear product did you buy? EXT6100, then another only answer to the second question, and I never changed these, so why does netgear feel the need to change these for me?
If password recovery is enabled, but you have not set the answers to the questions, it keeps sending you back to the beginning of the process. If you haven't already given the thing your personal answers, they are not in its memory and it has no way of knowing if they are correct.
The fact that you keep getting these messages suggests a messed up configuration at your end. It doesn't help if you just flail around turning things on and off. Instead, go through the set up process methodically.
What firmware version do you have on the device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
It might also help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
The reason for asking is that a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.
Midway through "Movie 43," I knew the day had come. As the credits rolled with the inevitable blooper scenes of actors breaking character and inexplicably laughing when nothing funny is going on, I swallowed that pill, hoping to erase instantly all mental images of what had just transpired.
As the ads for "Movie 43" promised (threatened?), you can't un-see this thing, so please: Stay away. Even if you might think that sitting through "Movie 43" would be an adventure along the lines of experiencing "Showgirls" or "Howard the Duck," you'll be filled with regret five minutes into this atrocity. There's camp-fun bad and interestingly horrible bad, and then there's just awful.
We've been hearing about this movie for some four years, as producer Peter Farrelly somehow coaxed more than a dozen A-list stars and talented character actors into appearing in a series of aggressively tasteless scenes loosely strung together as proposed elements of a movie that Dennis Quaid is pitching to Greg Kinnear. So whenever a Gerard Butler or a Johnny Knoxville or a Jason Sudeikis or an Uma Thurman became available and/or were blackmailed, Farrelly would bring in a director, and they'd shoot a scene. Unfortunately, the shooting was never fatal.
And it seems "Parks and Recreation" star Chris Pratt and real-life spouse Anna Faris were only too happy to play a couple who plan to consummate their love by having him consume mass quantities of Mexican food before defecating on her.
Apparently Emma Stone believed in a script that has her playing a trampy, foul-mouthed scamp who exchanges insults and cringe-inducing sex talk with an ex-boyfriend in a grocery store as their exchange is picked up by the PA system.
