I managed to get to a T2 and talked over my issue and since it's intermittent and didn't occur while I was on the line they weren't seeing any issues. I have another tech coming out Monday evening to see if they can help me but I would like to ask for other avenues for the tech to investigate if they do not see any problems again. Modem worked fine for about 2 hours then went right back into the unpredictable connection routine. He thought maybe it was my old coaxial cable and provided/installed a new one. I already had a tech out early morning on Saturday and he was unable to see any problem with my modem or the line. This issue persists if I remove the router from the picture. This is a brand new modem but I was having similar issues with my old Arris SURFboard before I switched to this. Sometimes I have to reboot the modem for it to actually reconnect to the internet. When I lose connection to the internet the upstream light is blinking and if the issue doesn't resolve the modem will cycle downstream/upstream until it connects. Upstream light on my modem should be a solid green.
Link typeĭisplays the current link type: wired, 2.4GHz or 5GHz.I seem to be having connection issues whenever the upstream light on my modem starts blinking rather than remaining solid. Link rateĭisplays the current link rate of the device indicating the maximum possible data speed with the current connection. Signal strengthĭisplays the wifi signal strength of the device.

Switch that lets you Allow or Block a device on the Network.įor this entity to actually Block the device, “Access Control” needs to be turned on in the Router settings. Connected device entitiesįor each device connected to the NETGEAR router the following entities will be available: Device trackerĭisplays if the device is currently connected to the router (Home) or not (Away). Utilization sensorsĬPU and memory utilization sensors in percentage of available resources of the router. The Ethernet link status sensor indicates if the router is currently able to connect to the internet. The speed test interval is chosen to be 30 minutes to not put unnecessary load on the network. If these sensor entities are enabled they will first show as Unknown since the first speed test does only happen 30 minutes after the integration loads, previous results will be restored on subsequent restarts. The “Average Ping”, “Downlink Bandwidth” and “Uplink Bandwidth” can be tracked by performing a speed test every 30 minutes. Log into your router > Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Traffic Meter > Enable Traffic Meter check box.
In order for these entities to display the data (instead of 0), the “Traffic Meter” should be enabled in the router settings. The total and average amount of downloaded/uploaded data through the router can be tracked per day/week/month.

This option helps prevent false alarms in presence detection. iPhones will occasionally drop off the network and then re-appear.
