RAX49 connects to Ethernet but no wifi
Comcast shut me down for "upgrades", when it came back up my AX5300 no longer worked. For a while an old network extender SSID (that I unplugged 3 months ago) showed in the wifi list (on my Mac) but...
Thanks for your help!
But already saw that in the manual and have turned it on and off several times. Still no joy. Other ideas?
Thanks

What country are you operating this router in?
What is the brand name and model number of the modem/ONT that is connected between your router and the internet? Look on the nameplate please.
You might try to re-flash the current firmware over the top of what is on there now. Only use a computer connected to the router via an Ethernet cable. If absolutely necessary, use a computer connected via Wi-Fi. Stay far away from the mobile application.
The WPS should time out and stop flashing after several minutes as long as no one is trying to use it to connect to the network.
I’m in US, but firmware is from region Canada for some reason.
Hooked up to Netgear CC3000 cable modem.
I am connected directly to router with ethernet.
Have tried to stop WPS button flashing by pushing it and using router admin app, no luck.
Somewhat hesitant to try upgrading firmware just yet.

When and if you get there, be sure to do it manually with a computer connected to the router with an Ethernet cable.
A firmware default (factory) reset is also an option to try before updating the firmware.
OK, tryed the reset button twice plus resetup,
and uploaded the latest firmware and resetup again.
Still no wifi, guess I’m going to have to brick it.
Sigh ...

That is not a Netgear modem model.
Do you mean CM3000?
I ask because there may be a CC3000 from another brand.
