    Not sure what you are referring to when you say wanlan conflict?

    However here is the definition of 401 error code:

    The 401 Unauthorized Error is an HTTP response status code indicating that the request sent by the client (YOU) could not be authenticated.

    401 Unauthorized Error indicates that the requested resource (THEM) is restricted and requires authentication (PASSWORD or certificate), but the client failed to provide any such authentication.

    Does this happen on all websites? And you have or do not have internet access?

    Can you plug a PC or laptop directly into the Spectrum modem and see if you have internet access? Apologies if I asked these questions already, too lazy to read back through thread.
