Unable to connect new RAX50 to internet
Cannot get internet connection on new RAX50. [Netgear tech was unable to help >3 hours]
Am replacing a [working] old Linksys router.
Am connecting to fiber service via wall plug. [no modem - cable from ONT only]
The old router will connect readily to internet w/o any special settings on my part. So will my desktop pc if I connect it directly to wall outlet from ONT.
