[SOLVED] - Netgear Router R7800 - Access control


Issue:

Netgear Router R7800 (firmware version V1.0.2.62) with access control by default blocking access to new devices, is blocks access to new devices but when we allow access to newly blocked device, Router wont allow access and still blocks internet access to device.

Solution / Work around


1. Access "Access control" itself is a challenge as Router keeps asking for authentication. Solution is to navigate to "access control" page from Advanced --> Security --> Access Control. This wont prompt for authentication again




2. Once you connect a new device, it will be blocked by default. Currently allowing access though the "Allow" button doesn't help.



3. To connect the device follow below steps

  1. Turn off Wifi on new device. It disconnect the device from Router and moves the entry of the device to "View list of blocked devices not currently connected to the network"
  2. Copy the mac address of the new device and remove it from this list.
  3. Now go to "View list of allowed devices not currently connected to the network" and click on Add Button 
  4. It will be giving an option to add device by MAC address. enter earlier copied MAC address and a device name. After adding, new device will have access 
  5. Turn on Wifi on the new device to have internet access :-) 


 If you need further clarification or found helpful, please let me know in comments.

My algorithmic Trading journey

Like many i used to manually watch and trade stocks, ETFs. Its non-productive and involves our emotions in trading decisions. So I wanted to automate trading. Initially used Trailing Stop and Limit orders. But they can automate only in a prescribed way. I started thinking about a way to trade programatically, where we have more control. My quest pointed to Zipline, a python algorithmic trading library. It support backtesting (testing algorithm with historic data) and most importantly supports live trading In this blog, I will walk you through my algorithmic trading journey. Zipline Installation From  https://www.zipline.io/index.html , I see it only supports python 2.7 or Python 3.5 Since python 2 was sun set on Jan 1 2020, there is no point in trying it. I went ahead with Python 3. For programming, installed latest Ubuntu 19.10 in a virtual machine . Ubuntu 19.10 comes bundled with Python 3.7.5. You can check your python version by typing python3  -V ...

Artist got automated

Here is my first Tensorflow run to convert images to different styles of famous painters I am using the code that is available at  https://github.com/lengstrom/fast-style-transfer It uses specific versions of below libraries !apt install ffmpeg !pip install tensorflow==0.12.1 !pip install numpy==1.11.2 !pip install scipy==0.18.1 !pip install pillow==3.4.2 I started with latest version and that triggered failure after failure. If you are like me, add below changes to their respective files #This is to make tensorflow behave as if it is in v1 File : evaluate.py and ./src/transform.py import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf tf.disable_v2_behavior() #Image functions are removed from scipy.misc module. so use imageio instead import imageio scipy.misc.imsave(out_path, img) --> imageio.imwrite(out_path, img) img = scipy.misc.imread(src, mode='RGB') --> img = imageio.imread(src, pilmode='RGB') Refer this post on more details on imageio changes Here is the ...

BIG ONE COMING ?

On July 4 morning, a mild earthquake measuring 4.0 rocked CA at about 10 AM. Personally I didnt experienced it and came to know about it only when another earthquake measuring 6.6 hit. Since moving to CA, it isnt my first earthquake. I experienced few before.  Just like before, googled to see whats going, enjoyed fun in Twitter and continued with my day as usual. Next day evening,  I experienced something bigger.  This one is different from previous ones. It keeps shacking for a while. By 9 PM PT, it's subdued but a ton of questions racing through my mind..  Its night time and we will be in middle of sleep. Will it be safe going in ?  This one is differently bigger than yesterday. Will the next one going to be bigger ? If yes, how soon ? I started searching for answers, but all i can see is " WELCOME TO CA " messages. I am not new to CA and living here for a while. This isn't felt normal. So I started se...
