newly reset router can't connect to internet
Okay, I have a fibre optic box, a modem/router and originally a r4600 router, if I remember correctly. The original router worked fine. I had the optic box plugged into the wan of the modem/router ...
Hi, I did what you suggested with the staggered off and then on procedure. Did not help :(. But then I realized something, sigh.... I had put the security at wap (?) 3 and windows 10 could not handle it. I put it at 2 and 3 and it worked! I don't know what caused the problems at the beginning, when I had not used my phone to access the nighthawk app and changed security to 3. However, all's well that ends well. I so appreciate your time in replying, thanks.
Hi, I will get the information you asked for. However, all of a sudden, it started working, shrug. Not sure why, very confusing. Then it showed up on my cell phone ssid list but not on my computer (after being on there before, unconnected to internet and then connected). I am still working through these issues, checking with my internet provider since something is going wonky now with the modem/router. I will report back after I have some answers from all this! I really appreciate your time in helping me.
I had a similar problem setting up a brand new Netgear RAX20.
It was frustrating to say the least until I thought perhaps it does not like the VPN running on the desktop that I was trying to connect from. I turned the VPN off and then I could acess and login to the router without being redirected. I will have to adjust my VPN settings to take care of this.
To the moderator: By the way why is the RAX20 not in the Model drop down? It is an WIFI6 (AX) router.
