  • Your description of what issue you're having left a lot to be desired. A little better description of the problem would help us to understand the issue you're having. 

    Also, what firmware is on the router? 

    what modem/gateway is it connected to?

        That is not a router. It is a modem only device for cable Internet. This is the thing that sits between your RAX50 and the outside world

         

        You need them get them both to work together.

        Without that information it will be difficult to begin to help you. You say you have been playing with the settings. The firmware version will be at the top of the screen when you start the browser graphical user interface (GUI). Top right-hand corner, next to the logout button.

        What is that the "Smart switch" setting? It isn't something mentioned in the manual.

         

        Where can we find the box you check?
