C6250-connected to internet but cannot load any web pages

I am posting a reply in case anyone run across this thread in the future.  The only resolution I can find at this point is to buy another device.  I am not an IT person, but am generally pretty tech savvy.  I have spent days searching online for assistance and gotten nowhere.  Someone on the COX forums mentioned that new Netgear products will not allow you to connect to the internet until you go to the admin site.  I have been to the admin site over and over, looked at every setting i could think of and made no progress.  I did a factory reset and changed the password, thinking that might help, but no luck. I've no idea why this device is blocking access, but it appears to be doing so very throughly.  

I am going now to buy a new modem/router.  I will give this one to goodwill with a note about the problems I had.  Maybe someone else will be able to figure it out.  Honestly, this is the worst experience I've ever had with a device.  I've setup countless phones, routers, laptops, modems, smart tvs, tablets, etc for myself, friends, and family.  I've never hit a brick wall with a problem like I have here.  I should have know that this was a poor product when Netgear was only willing to offer support for 90 days.   I will never own another netgear product again.  This is my very expensive lesson. Please learn from my mistake and return your product as soon as you can, if you experience problems.
