Netgear USB control center

Gavin78

I've recently purchased a Netgear 6400 V2 router. I've connected the printer to the router and used the Netgear USB control center to power the printer.

However the computer wont go into sleep mode since install, even changing the power options in windows 10 doesn't do anything

As a last resort I did a clean install and just installed the control center again and it's doing the same thing. the monitor goes off but the computer won't sleep and is still running but hitting the keyboard and mouse does not wake the monitor. I have to do a hard reset.

Anyone else know about this problem?

No, but does the router allow the printer to be shown as a LPT or similar TCP port network printer. Sharing USB over network hmmm check the virtual USB port in device manager and check that the PC is allowed to turn off/sleep the device, guessing on this of course

I checked the router settings and there is a choice under VPN which default was UDP so I changed it to TCP and it was saying in the control center that it was waiting for the printer to connect to I ended up switich back to UDP.

Will check V, ports if I can find them
