AC1600 won’t connect to internet

I have a net gear AC1600 and it has worked awesome for the 10 months I have had it. A few days ago it stopped connecting to the internet (device says WiFi has no internet connection).

It works for about 15-30 minutes after power cycle. The upload and download lights both keep flashing after 30ish minutes after reset and we lose all internet.

Note: For trouble shooting I have tried power cycling, factory reset, checked COAX cables and splitters, XFINITY tech says it’s definitely the modem because everything else is working and other modems work when installed, and I believe I have the latest firmware available for it.

Please help!

  • What device do you have? AC1600 is a speed and not a model.

    From your description, it sounds like a combo device. 

    A screen snip of the cable connections page (shows upstream/downstream info) and the event logs helps us check your connection.

      It is a combo device. C6250-100NAS Is what the box says.

      How do I access those logs? It won’t even let me access the net gear nighthawk app currently.
