CAX80 Not Saving Settings Upon Reboot
When I reboot the CAX80, it loses its settings and I have to do a reset. How can I get the CAX80 to save settings upon reboot? I am running firmware 2.1.5.2. Thank you!

Thank you for your reply! I had done everything except changing the IP range pool to 100 - 200. That helped to some degree. I changed to IP range from 192.168.1.100 through 200. Now, upon router reboot, the internet connected (can connect to WiFi on the phone) but I had to run the router setup with the Netgear app. At least I didn’t have to do a total reset with a paper clip on the CAX80 modem/router. Now, how can I reboot the CAX80 and have it come up without having to do the router reset each time through the app?

I would avoid using the NH mobile app and set up the modem using a wired PC and web browser.
How long have you had the modem for?
Who is your ISP the modem is connected with?
