MR70 router no longer able to access the Internet
Yesterday my MR70 Mesh router started displaying the amber light. I've been trying to troubleshoot this for hours but nothing is working so I'm wondering if anyone has any idea on what to try. He...
Thank you for the quick reply! I read conflicting information about the CAX30 regarding modem or bridge mode, but I found a "router mode" in the admin settings and it seems to be doing the same thing. Unfortunately that didn't make the MR70 router be able to connect. So I'm looking into option #2 now.
EDIT: how come that this problem just happened yesterday after this network configuration worked for months? Is it possible that it was caused by an ISP change, since they told me that they are doing some work on their network at some point?

If you select No, this sets the modem to modem only mode.

What version of FW is loaded on the CAX30?
Also when the CAX30 and MR are in router modes this creates a conflict between the two as by default they both use 192.168.1.1 as a IP address start. The MR should detect this and should change to 10.x.x.x though. Or you can manually change the MR to something else. I use 192.168.0.1 on my routers.
Also be sure to power cycle the MR70 OFF then back ON when changing modes on the CAX30.
