Can't get internet connection (MR60 mesh router and CM2050V cable modem)
This is really weird. We have Comcast with the CM2050V cable modem. Connected to that is the MR60 mesh router. The the mesh router is all the connected devices. This has been working for ...
Try this.
Factory reset the MR60. Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while its powered on.
After it resets, don't reinstall it. Power it back off.
Power off the modem as well and disconnect everything from both devices (even coax from the modem).
Wait 2-5 minutes.
then connect the coax back to the modem and power it on.
Give it a couple minutes to fully boot.
Then connect the modem to the MR60 and power the MR60 on.
Give it a couple minutes and then attempt setup on it.
try that first as sometimes it takes that IP getting released by the ISP as well as something could be corrupt in the settings after a storm. If that doesn't work, Try reinstalling the firmware to the router and re-running the process above. It could be corrupt firmware and not just a bad setting.

Thank you!
I decided to take it in a smaller step and unplug both routers while out walking the dogs so there would be enough time. That worked!
I spent so much time trying different things, but that was so simple and effective.
I can't thank you enough after days of frustration.
