Glad you got it working well.
You might mark it solved so others aren't trying to continue to fix it.
Hope the new router works well.

Thanks for the information. I need to buy a new wi-fi router. My internet service plan with (measured) download: 300 Mbps+ and upload: 11 Mbps. Do you have any recommendation for a good, economical Netgear wi-fi router serving a 1500 s.f. single story home?

With so many routers available it is hard to say which is best for a particular user.
Try plugging your needs into the filters on the product pages:
Wireless Routers for Home | NETGEAR
and
Orbi: Whole Home WiFi System for Better WiFi Everywhere | NETGEAR
Then check back here for reports on the things you are considering, but remember that people turn up in this community with problems, not compliments. So look at reviews on Amazon, for example.

Thanks for the info. I checked with Best Buy tech and Spectrum and bought a Netgear AX1800 router. It works well. My old modem/router do not work with the new internet service plan. Thanks for everyone's help.

That's good.
If you need to come back for more help, note that AX1800 isn't a Netgear model number. AX1800 is not a reliable guide to model number. Many devices come with an AX tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and other brands, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
Look at the label on the device for the model number.
In this case, it is probably one of Netgear's WiFi 6 devices.Depending in which one you bought, user to user self support probably happens in one of these places:
Nighthawk Routers with WiFi 6 (AX) - NETGEAR Communities
Orbi WiFi 6 (AX) and WiFi 6E (AXE) - NETGEAR CommunitiesWith luck, though, you won't need help.
