Cannot Connect to R6100 Router
AC1200 WiFi Router Model R6100 (wasn't an option in the model section)
Today, setup Spectrum modem, verified it's working, connected the router and nothing can connect to it via wifi or etherne...
- Dec 09, 2018Yeah...idk what happened but it works now...i guess i hit the correct number of factory resets cause apparently the third time was the charm...after the factory reset, gained access to routerlogin somehow and followed the setup wizard which required toggling power to the modem one last time, then everything worked

The modem is a technicolor dpc3216. By diagnostics, i meant the windows diagnostics for trying to find and resolve network issues. The issue is that even though I can see and connect to the wifi network on any device (phone, laptop, tablet), it will say no internet access. I've tried resetting the modem, resetting the router, and both at the same time and factory resetting the router, all result in no internet over wifi. I just tried connecting to the router without the ethernet connection to the modem and i still can't access the routerlogin.net ( connected through ethernet) I've tried other ethernet ports and a different laptop, same problem can't connect to routerlogin, browser just says cannot find site

Congrats. It is always a simple fix. The question is, how many simple fixes must be tried before the correct one is found?
