Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 7, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 7, 2021 Could you post a screenshot of what the Settings look like once you've entered in the identifiers but before you press save please? I'm not checking to see if you have put it in correctly but rather something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echo one Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 Before pressing save after they go off I noticed it enables upstream dns I’ve tried it with a n without and I’ve tried using separate dns nothing seems to work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 7, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 7, 2021 Can you try clicking reset MAC and then click save, then enter the IDs then save again and see if they save properly. Did you do a factory reset after upgrading to .179 initially? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echo one Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 I’ve tried that I’ll do it again just to be sure Yes I’ve done a factory reset after upgrading the firmware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echo one Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 Still nothing unfortunately I really want to get this working do you want to perhaps do remote control of the router so you can see I’ve done it and it’s not connecting ? 18 minutes ago, Netduma Fraser said: Can you try clicking reset MAC and then click save, then enter the IDs then save again and see if they save properly.

echo one Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 cant try now dude people in my house complaining about not being online. been 2 hours today i know your busy trying to help everyone i get that i do but i cant really be waiting 40 mins for reply's in this house they cant survive without internet for 10 minutes im the only person with patience. i know if i was with someone other than sky it would probly be working im prob going to just get another asus and flash it again i was really excited for the geo filter perhaps it will come to other routers that support sky in the future. hopefully we can try remote access so you guys can see its not working before i have to send it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 7, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 7, 2021 I've just noticed something on your router, the date/time is completely wrong, in the top right of the interface click the 3 dots icon go to Advanced > Timezone and then re apply the timezone correctly and then apply it. Reboot the router, then enter the identifiers in Settings, click save and I have a feeling that will work. I can't remote in as you don't have internet to the router and I don't think there is anything else I can add than what I've just mentioned. If it doesn't work then we can sort out a replacement/refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echo one Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 Man I’m disappointed really wanted this router this is just total stupid that is doesn’t work is it the ui not saving properly or is this just a background bug ? I’m set up right I don’t get it either way can’t do this all night dude that’s for the help for you know if the netgear routers with duma suffer from this kind of stuff ?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 7, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 7, 2021 It's still saying the wrong date there, set timezone to elsewhere then back to the UK daylight savings off then on, then reboot. I think only one person has had this issue and that was early on. Do you have the Sky hub you can use instead of the modem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echo one Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 typical that i would be the other guy nothing is going right for me this week. ill try that and yes i still have the sky hub but i dont want a double nat and the idea of having to port forward twice isnt something i like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echo one Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 is there a modem issue with the r2 ? specific modems not working i mesn ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 7, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 7, 2021 To avoid a double NAT all you would need to do is take the WAN IP from the System Information page on the R2 and input that into the DMZ on the Sky hub interface. That's safe as the R2 has its own built in firewall. No specific modem issues that I am aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echo one Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 I’d still have to port forward twice tho wouldn’t I ? For the sky hub and the r2 ? would this allow me to be able to use geo filter and qos ? without issues also if the timezone is affecting connectivity wouldnt using it off the sky hub fix it then possible putting back into the config i have now then work. if im honest im unsure how that would make it work but im out of most idea at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No port forwarding required on the Sky hub when using the DMZ. Yes absolutely you could use both those features with this setup, would recommend connecting all devices to the R2 for maximum effect. That's certainly possible, as it probably needs access to the internet to determine the correct time so that could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
