Connection issues with FioS G3100
Pulling my hair out trying to figure out what is causing the issue here. We recently upgraded to the FiOS G3100 Gateway router and I've been able to connect my A7000 directly to the router. No...
In case this helps anyone:
I jus received the same g3100, and have the same connection issues with my A7000. However, when I configured the router, I turned on guest network as well. In the netgear genie app, it shows 3 access points - the main one twice and the guest one. Looking at the details, the main one has an 'AC' and an 'N' access point, and the guest is 'N'. I cannot connect to either of the main ones. Strangely (or maybe not), if I try to connect to the main 'N' one, it uses the 'AC' anyway - and it fails with the same issue (No Internet). HOWEVER, I can connect to the guest network. Of course, this is not ideal as I can't network with other devices in the house, but this is a temporary fix until the issue is fixed.
Disable wifi 5Ghz.
I had the same issue as everyone else here - of the solutions listed here disabling the 5Gz band worked best for me. I do notice that the speed of the connection is slower now, but at least it actually works reliably.
