Netgear ORBI showing connected but no wireless connection
My ORBI RBR850 WIFI 6 has been working flawlessly for 6 months and all of a sudden I am getting no wireless connection. I performed a facotry rest, reconnected and yet it shows my wireless SSID. I am getting no signals on my devices even though there supposly connected. I have taken the usual steps rebooting the modem/router ect. I am at a loss for my wireless connection right now. Did my $700 router break? Any help would be great
I have this paired with a Netgear CM1000 which I do have an active internet connection just no wireless
Well it looks like it was infact my Netgear Modem CM1000. I am not sure exactly what was wrong with old one but new one is working. I suspect old was faulty or Comcast somehow deregistred my MAC or altered something because after they removed the old modem and registred new one my ORBI started working and I had wired connections again. Man that was frustrating, easily spent 10-15 hrs doing work arounds and it ended up being a possible broke modem........... Having no internet during covid with kids in house is no fun. Thanks for the help
