CM3000 direct connection to port 1 or 2 from laptop and says no internet
Just installed my CM3000 this morning and I’m waiting on my RS300 to arrive tomorrow so temporarily hooked up to my old Linksys EA9500 wireless router. It is hooked into the yellow multi-gig port and ...
Power OFF both CM and RS router and modem for 30 seconds then back ON with the modem and then the RS router.
Give about 1-2 minutes. The front LED on the RS Internet globe should turn WHITE.
Thank you. That makes sense. One more question then, should I just plug my RS300 into the multi gig port then, and not worry about the whole aggregation thing? That is definitely new to me.

Yes.
When your new router arrives, be sure and disconnect all Ethernet cables from the modem and restart it by pulling/inserting the power cord. Once it is fully booted and connected to your ISP, then connect your new router to the 2.5 Gbps modem port and power up your router. Be sure and use a good quality Ethernet cable. Cat 6 STP type is recommended for this application.
- Well, I definitely appreciate the help, but I am not getting internet on the router. I even went through the routers set up with the Nighthawk app. It shows cables connected then tests internet connection and says not connected

After you restart your modem and let it connect and stabilize, does the white globe internet indicator on the modem illuminate?
