Hi ceanderse,

 

Good day!

 

Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

 

First of all, we do apologize for the inconvenience of not getting back to you immediately due to the backlog in the system. Do you still have the issue? Does it happen to all your devices( wired and wireless) connected to the router? Did you test your modem's internet connection by plugging into the modem?

 

Please do not hesitate to let me know if you need further assistance. 

 

Regards,


Oliver
