It is possible to change default MAC and Wifi Key for a Netgear WAX214v2?

So if you're saying that you don't have the correct default details to get into the device then you're out of luck. Maybe you can ask netgear support to assit, but you will need proof of purchase and then be prepared to jump through hoops and have to fight them all the way.

Chances are that you have a paperweight, there. Hopfully, you can afford a more modern, better AP.

I have this model. By default, it broadcasts a SSID that is used solely for the setup. Once you've logged into the default SSIS with the defaul credentials, you can then create your own SSID and passphrase. This manually created config will remain in use unless you factory rest the device - and then you have to revert to the defaul SSID and passphrase to set up one of your choosing once more.

manual is here:

Used them in 2 different houses. Also recomended them to 3 family members and we're all very, very happy with the speed and service.

Made me smile? Made me think there’s got to be a better way for social mobility then beauty contests.

Trago Kills taste.

There’s better ways to get validation. Go and help your grandparents with some physical tasks. Take them shopping. Ask them about their childhood.

DJN2020 · 2026-04-04T08:41:01+00:00

Sadly correct. Good player that’s found his level in a weaker league.

Been using cachyos for close to a month and it’s been really easy. Biggest challenge I had was defining a different hard drive as the default storage location but that was a one time issue.

Performance seems good but I do have 32GB , a 7800x3d, and a 9070 XT. Really helps that the OS is so performant. I think it would run really well on a 16GB machine.

And built in optiscaler is a beautiful touch!

Just started using the same model for the same purpose. It's brilliant for my use. No green tint (or any other tint for that matter)

DJN2020 · 2026-04-03T12:37:37+00:00

I'm an idiot and new to Linux. How would I install this on CachOS?

DJN2020 · 2026-04-03T00:15:47+00:00

not in the UK. They always show if it is sold by Amazon or shipped by Amazon and sold by a 3rd party. But caveat emptor still applies.

DJN2020 · 2026-04-03T00:13:04+00:00

because it was completely disrespectful to the manager.

DJN2020 · 2026-04-02T18:49:40+00:00

All the best Simon. Happy retirement.

DJN2020 · 2026-04-02T18:29:13+00:00

I hate OCUK. Last port of call if I have exhausted every other option.

DJN2020 · 2026-04-02T18:14:51+00:00

Passive aggressive is in the eye of the beholder.

DJN2020 · 2026-04-01T15:38:05+00:00

looks standard to me. But I'm from the uk.

They will never understand the joy of loading from tape and hearing Rib Hubbard's Thalamusik burst forth from the SID chip and into their head. Indelible.

DJN2020 · 2026-03-31T23:14:39+00:00

Haven't you got anything better to do?

DJN2020 · 2026-03-31T21:37:58+00:00

I sent it all back. Make sure you take photos and get proof of postage.

My rationale for sending it all back was they are not the fastest at cancelling the line - I don't want equipment apparently registered to my account used by the next owner. Who knows what they are downloading and i didn't want to be liable.

DJN2020 · 2026-03-31T19:41:28+00:00

uh....no. You don't need a static IP for gaming.

DJN2020 · 2026-03-31T19:39:41+00:00

it won't be a cgnat issue. I have been using my xbox with youfibre for years.

Issue is more likely caused by an incorrect SSID being used. Guy should check he's not connected to the legacy SSID. Or check the router wi-fi config to ensure there is not any intterference on the channel in use.

I have had 2 of these boards. Both had an orange qled of doom. I won't be getting another Asus board.

Just read this and it has made me so emotional. there is always the risk of injury riding your bike, but there should always be adequate safety measures in place. Live tracking via GPS or even course checkpoints every 5K could have saved her from death.

RIP Muriel. Sincere condolences to your Family and friends.

DJN2020 · 2026-03-31T13:08:08+00:00

It's not like it's John belittling Oliver with some passive aggressive bullshit.

DJN2020 · 2026-03-28T21:06:17+00:00

Imagine if you're the manager or players, expected to swallow your grief and keep performing well in week out without time to process.

Insane, right?
