Firmware is current I believe. Not sure how to verify.
Router is Netgear CM700
Modem to computer works fine.
Router does not connect to the internet nor does wifi work.
Open Chrome and click on bookmarked site and I get the message "Your connection is not private" and "NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID". message.
Open Edge and click on bookmarked site and I get a default Netgear screen that says I should download the Nighthawk install app. I got a flip phone so that won't work.
No other computers or devices attached.

The CM is a modem only, no router here.
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.

Are there any LED indications on the top of the router?
Factory reset the router by pressing the reset button?
If nothing seems to work to correct the router, I would make contact with NG support and ask about an RMA:

Lights look normal.
Show red for 2.4 Ghz and green for 5 Ghz wifi.
Tried 3 of 4 ports. No difference.
Did all the plug and unplug routine Modem, Router and computer.
Just found the receipt. Costco. They'll take it back with no issues. Guess I order another one. Will see what they have in the store.
