Nighthawk RAX45 Doesn't connect to internet
I'm trying to install a Nighthawk RAX45 router. It appears to connect to the internet, but Firefox can't find any websites, and Outlook doesn't connect. Same symptoms with Lenovo P1, and W540, running Windows 10.
Thank you!
What modem/gateway is it connected to?
Firmware on the router?

Thank you for your reply! It's connected to a Spectrum modem. I just got it working by updating the firmware, with an ethernet connection.
Glad you got it to work, but if you hit further problems then this both will not get you very far:

There are lots of "spectrum" modem out there. For further help, tell people the make and model number.
I suspect that plemans was trying to determine if your "modem" is really a modem/router. That could explain the symptoms you saw. They may come back again. Be prepared.
