AX3000 Model RAX40 will not connect to internet

I just purchased an AX3000 Model Rax40 to replace an older working router. When I try to set it up in Nighthawk, I get an error when it checks for an internet connection. I confirmed that the Internet is DHCP.

 

I have removed all connections to the router, power cycled, and then power cycled the AX3000 with the same error no internet connection. I don't know how to check the firmware level. Nighthawk is v 2.33.0.3504

 

I put the old router back in service and have a good connection.

 

Suggestions please.

 

Thanks.

 

Bill

  • What modem/gateway are you connecting it to? 

    What's the old router?

      The router is attached to a Spectrum Cable Company cable modem. The existing router is a Netgear AC1750

        Neither of those are models. 

        spectrum has a ton of different modem and modem/router combo devices. 

        and AC1750 is a speed, not a model. 

        Not trying to be sarcastic but when helping on a forum, specifics are key since we aren't there to see what you're doing or have.
