• Should which adapter I get for R8500

  Evening. Should what wireless adapter I get for my R8500 nighthawk. I have 10 64-bit windows.

• Nighthawk R8500, USB 3.0 Flash drive not recognized USB 3.0 Port, Port of only 2.0

  My Nighthawk R8500 router with the latest firmware, V1.0.2.54_1.0.56, does not recognize my SanDisk Ultra Fit 128 GB USB 3.0 Flash drive when it is connected to the router USB 3.0 Port. The Ultra Fit is formatted in FAT32 and works fine when plugged into USB Port 2.0 router or my laptop.

  At first, I thought maybe USB 3.0 Port on my router wasn't working at all, but it recognizes my SanDisk 16 GB Cruzer USB 2.0 Flash Drive that is also formatted FAT 32. Unfortunately both my laptop have USB 2.0 Ports, so I don't know if the problem is with the router or the Ultra Fit Flash Drive. Everyone knows about this problem of their Flash 3.0 player is not recognized in USB 3.0 Port their router, especially with a SanDisk Ultra Fit? This problem can be resolved through firmware? I'd really like to take full advantage of the speed of USB 3.0 as I like to share files through my router via ReadyShare and ReadyCloud.

  Thanks in advance for any help, Carlos

  Technical support with me. Installation of a updated firmware, V1.0.2.64_1.0.62, which became available shortly after my post, solved the problem. -Carlos

• Nighthawk R8500

  Do not buy the router R8500 Nighthawk. He does not live his expectations of covering 4,000 feet. He will not even a good signal at 30 feet with only half of the walls and hallways. It was the most expensive and I don't have any lucj with her or the Gearheads support group. they keep just change channels, it was very disappointing.

  Thaks for your answer. I agree now that a single unti will not cover 4,000 square feet. NETGEAR should re think their marketing and they present on their packaging. I paid more than $400 and I expected much better performance. I added a Netgear Access Point WNDPA620 and two Linksys R6500 extensions and I now have a little coverage at very high load. I hope that the new Orbi or routers to come Google change the WIFI coverage.

• info on the new R8500 or r8000

  These new routers still have problems with ipv6?

  I can't speak for the R8500 personally, but the answer is Yes for the R8000 and issues with IPv6. You can assume that the R8500 done as well since they act on the same kernel packages in the source code. I guess that since you ask about these two models, you want a router with two radios. 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz [I do not call tri-band routers Netgear way because a real tri-band router would be 802.11n (2.4 GHz), 802.11ac (5 GHz) and 802.11ad (60 GHz)]

• Firmware R8500

  After trying all the same beta firmware versions and questions (wifi stall, having to set every day so he can do whatever it is) and now started to happen with the original firmware, I decided to try a firmware open source for the first time. So far, it seems to work, the only question that I have is not being able to build a network of comments up and running, probably just do a little more tinkering (darn newbies like me). in any case if someone else is as frustrated as me, here is a link http://myopenrouter.com/

  No problem and it looks like once more I am satisfied with this firmware open source... mainly because it is more stable firmware then netgear which sucks because I've always used netgear products and always liked their firmware... Ah well, until the firmware is stable and able to do everything what they advertise without causing headaches, I use open firmware source even if it's above my level of experience as well... bottom line: netgear firmware is easy to use but unstable on R8500 and dd - wrt open source takes a lot more knowledge , but seems to be stable... Hope this helps

• R8500 disorder connect through C1100Z modem (Qwest)

  I'm having difficulties to keep the connection or sometimes even to make connection through my modem. (the modem) works on its own, but I bought this router on Ebay non-recorded. Any help appreciated.

  Finally had time to try this, I went all the way to clone the mac address of the cpu and well. Thank you

• Recent firmware for R8500 translates into automatic channel permanent 2.4 GHz

  After update to the last couple of updates of firmware, for example 1.0.2.64, 2, 4 GHz does not accept the selection of channel 1, 6 or 11. Instead, a wifi scan will show something random like 4 or 7 transmitting it as in mode auto-canal, in contradiction with the channel that it is attached to in the settings. A reset to default settings and manually enter new values, does not seem to solve this problem.

  As a work around, I will return to the beta firmware released around Christmas 2015, which served well.

  Any thoughts? Someone else with the same problem?

  Discovered a work-around, recently I wanted to mention. Turn off for 20/40 MHz coexistence in settings wireless advanced while execution of the band of 2.4 GHz in 433 Mbps mode will allow the router to disseminate the appropriate channel.

• R8500 Firmware MU-MIMO

  The recent firmware has no option to activate MU-MIMO. This option is only with the firmware.28

  and the beta version I have.

  I am told that the latest firmware has indeed HELPED MU-MIMO.

  Is this true? or did the version having the box turn on in

  advanced wireless settings who have it.

  PLEASE PROVIDE DETAILS

  CC

  Our engineers are aware of the unavailability of the MU-MIMO in some firmware.

  It will be fixed in the next version of the firmware.

• R8500: QOS is terrible on this router for $400

  So before you get this router I was using a $20 off of eBay refurbished Linksys router E6500 running DD WRT (Yes, you can run it on this router if you know where to find the firmware for this). In any case, the flow was not the greatest, but I never had problems.

  I have a ReadyNAS RN516 to my office and the backup on my Mac using the time machine office nas. I also have the Charter which gives single 4mbps upload (it's slow, but once he finished the initial and subsequent backup backups are fine). In real life, it's more like 4.75mbps. I have QOS value 3.75 to ensure that my modem is not bufferbloat and kill my connection.

  My problem is however that often my devices slow to a crawl (if more than 5 Ghz wireless or wired) whenever I am downloading. On my other router I just put 4 Mbps as the download limit and all devices than 4mbps equally, and I never had no problem with slowdowns or high pings and lag. No matter what I put the download speed at... He accuses just out for no apparent reason on this router.

  If someone can tell me why free DD WRT software works better than the software on a router for $400? Just curious?

  The new firmware seems to have helped. I changed a few things as well, and it seems to work very well.

  Regarding the comment of routers figure 3 and 4 routers in figure, there must be an improvement on the 2 figure routers and routers multi-3, otherwise what's the point?

  I'm trying the test of the future a little, that's why I chose this router. It doesn't matter if I take it right back and stick with my $ 20 DDWRT router. I do not have the latest and greatest tech (2012 macbook air and several iPhone 6 more ' and a room above the router and I can not even through any speedtests 60mbps (run through the gigabit mac that is wired and I move 65mbps each time.)

  I don't have a fast enough home nas box, but I'd be curious to see wireless local area network speeds. I wonder if I can break even 100 Mbps with this thing...

• V1.0.0.56_1.0.28 slow Wifi R8500

  Trying to resolve the wifi problems slow speed. Everyone has problems with the last update of the firmware?

  Wired Speedtest:

  Troubleshooting suggestions?

  Indeed, my router has been replaced, however, this does not solve the problem. A beta firmware has finally solved the problem.
