Win10 Reports C7000 has connection issues/problems
I bought my Nighthawk C7000 just over 2 years ago and have rarely had a problem, other than not getting very good WiFi range in an apartment with relatively thicker plaster and metal lathe walls....
I've solved the problem and I will figure out the nature of keeping the extender/bridge assigned in the proper IP range.. On occasion I'd turn on an Asus Asus RT-AC88U router/extender set in extender mode to reach weak spots. It's a fantastic device and connected to the c7000 via ethernet. For some reason the c7000 began to assign it 192.168.1.1 (perhaps the extender reset) and , for reasons I cannot explain, the c7000 decided to occasionally provision wireless devices under the 192.168.1.x IP address format rather than just drawing from the DHCP server. One mobile device might connect but the Pixel just could not. Shutting off the extender and rebooting the phone now seems to connect the phone to the router.
I couldn't understand this as this setup worked so well until recently. Hopefully now we can fix this and move on. Thank you all for your prior help.
Now it is working but new devices are not provisioning or connecting to the Internet. I've got 15 wireless devices connected. My laptop now will not connect. On the 2.4Ghz I can connect but will not be provisioned Internet access. On the 5GHz I am denied a connection to the router with Windows informing me "You cannot connect to this network".
