had the C3000Z in radio disable mode.
I was able to see the wireless network from my phone and other devices. when trying to connect I would get could not obtain IP. Nothing was auto connecting at this time. using my laptop and hard wired to the modem MR60 I was able to get online through it, and see the GUI and see all the settings. My security settings were set to WEP2, the reasons of none... I turned off Security and set to OFF. My phone then auto connected so did the Wife's phone. Which was weird, at this point i turned Security back on WEP2 again. (same that I was using) turned WIFI off on my phone and turned back on. The phone auto connected and all of my devices in my home from computers, tvs, phones, and smart devices all connected back to the network.
I guess it was something in the security settings?
Thank you for the help on this subject.

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
