RAX50 seems to startup normally but no internet
I could really use a hand if anyone is able to help! I have a Netgear router I picked up a few years ago that mostly stopped working about a week ago. We lost internet on all devices wired and wir...
Got it fixed. The bootloader was getting stuck and not finishing startup, but it's working now.

Power cycled first just the router and then modem and router in order, but no change.
The correct order is:
- 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.
What do the router's LEDs look like after a reboot, especially the power LED?
I tried re-flashing the firmware through Windows with tftp and nmrpflash, but no luck there.
That is a boilperplate response that is no real help if the firmware is not corrupt, which the power LED would show.
I tried a factory reset a few times, but there doesn't seem to be any response from the reset button, and the same SSIDs are broadcasting, so I know it's not doing the reset.
So these are the SSIDs that you set?
Can you connect a browser to the router with these SSIDs and the password you set.
Another thing to check is the power supply, the mains adapter. These can also go bad.
Just another user with time on their hands.
