[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.

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 ...

OnePlus 6T - Android 10 (OOS 10)

Its been more than 3 months since August security patch update. Out of curiosity I checked Oxygen Updater. To my surprise, Oxygen OS v 10 (based on Android 10) is available. Since this is a stable release, i went head and updated it. Its ended up being a buggy release. For those of you, who didnt get update over OTA, its better to wait for OOS 10.1. Here are the list of issue and the workarounds. Issue #1 :  Phone randomly restarts and then goes to boot loop Workaround : when the phone stuck in boot loop (with OnePlus logo animation), Press Power Button and Volume Down button to restart it Issue #2 : Google play wont work Work Around : Booting to recovery and clearing cache is expected to fix this. will update after testing To booting to recovery, Firstly, turn off your phone: press and hold the Power button for a while or press the Power key once and choose ‘power off’. Once the switch off process is completed start pressing and also holding down the Volume Dow...
