C7000v2 works for certain devices
I bought this Netgear Modem Router but it only works on my iPhone and MacBook, not my Roku stick or TV. I have Skywire (DirectTV) internet they said it's not the service it's the router. Please help I...

Skywire? the C7000 is a modem/router combo device.
I didn't know that skywire had coaxial service.
Did it work when you were using cox?
What error are you getting?
- Jamar27davisAug 17, 2022AspirantAttached is a picture of the setup (Ethernet from wall to modem and coax from wall to tv). Cox gave me a router I didn't need to buy one (I was just pointing out that I never really had to deal with this)... however I just bought this Netgear one from Walmart because I was told to. The error only comes in with my ROKU tv which needs wifi to watch Netflix and such as of now I can only watch regular live TV: "It's showing up on my tv as a network but once I put in the password it says the network cannot connect reset router or check password"

Well, I don't see a photo.
But like I said, the C7000 is a coaxial modem. Meaning it needs a coax input from your isp. If you're isp's signal is coming in over an ethernet connection, its not compatible.
