Nighthawk AX6 won't connect to ISP or DNS
My Nighthawk AX6 AX4300 6-Stream WiFi Router (Model RAX45 : Firmware V1.0.2.66_2.0.42) won't connect to my ISP.
I don't get a dynamic IP address and I can't get DNS address.
If I plug my old Netgear R6300 in, it easily grabs those numbers (IP and DNS) addresses in seconds.
Why can't my new Nighthawk router do the same?

- The only was I can get this router to work is to use the old R6300 to connect to my ISP and get the IP, gateway, and DNS numbers.
I then can manually input those numbers into the Nighthawk as static numbers.
I just don't understand how my older router can get the dynamic numbers from my ISP, but the newer router cannot.
Is my new Nighthawk router faulty??Hi Paudav,
