@atiyabham Please take screenshots of these pages and send to [email protected]:

1. pcWRT Status page.
2. The Device List page on the NVG510.
3. The Firewall – IP Passthrough page on the NVG510.
4. The firewall – IP Passthrough page with the Passthrough Mode dropdown box expanded.

That is the right way to do it, and the list of domains seem sufficient. Maybe, add fbcdn.net to the list?

But I don’t see how the Calendar setup can affect your passwords on the phone. Maybe that’s an unrelated problem. To be sure, you can assign the phone to a profile with parental control disabled and see if the problem persists.

How was this set up? With a Calendar? Where were the domains listed?

[support]

Great suggestions!

Indeed the Calendar GUI is too tall to manage – we’ll make it shorter. In the mean while, please note that you can also enter time slots in text mode, which is more convenient. The GUI mode is mainly used to display multiple calendars on the same chart.

Generally, when the pcWRT is out on the Internet (such as being the DMZ host), and with UPnP enabled, the Xbox test should detect moderate NAT. Can you check these two items?

1. The pcWRT has a public IP address:
* load the Status page in your browser, look at the Internet IP address at the top left corner.
* Enter http://myip.dnsomatic.com/

The IP addresses reported by the above two methods should be the same.

2. UPnP is enabled on the pcWRT.

Currently there are several used ones available – returns from customers who bought them thinking they were stock TP-Link routers. New ones will be available in a couple of weeks.

1. To take advantage of the 5Ghz band, your device hardware needs to be able to send and receive 5Ghz signal. Newer phones and tablets usually support 5Ghz. But check the Apple website or call Apple for your specific models to be sure. Not all devices need to have 5Ghz support, but you need to switch some from the 2.4Ghz band to alleviate the congestion.

2. You need to have the Airport on the same network as your streaming devices in order to stream to it. As suggested before, you need to configure it as an Access Point.

3. This is our current dual band offering: https://www.amazon.com/Archer-C7-pcWRT-SafeSearch-Management/dp/B01GLOKHAG/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=pcwrtcom-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=a2917b2d60d52a5652fb823a679b47c8&creativeASIN=B01GLOKHAG

@rjager That’s a valid concern. If WiFi is the bottleneck, then switching to a dual band router will help. But make sure your devices can take advantage of the 5GHz band. In that case you can turn off the WiFi on the Airport and use the WiFi on the dual band.

Glad it worked out!

You need to white list gstatic.com also.

Sure. Will create a post soon.

You may want to set the pcWRT as a DMZ host in the Arris router. The option is usually available under the Firewall menu.

Some routers let you specify the DMZ host by MAC address. Others ask for an IP address. For the latter, you need to assign a static IP address to the pcWRT, then enter that IP address for the DMZ.

[support]

One more question. Is the pcWRT connected to a modem directly or through a modem/router combo as those provided by AT&T uverse and FiOS?
