    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?


    Has a reset and setup from scratch been performed with a wired PC and web browser pointed at 192.168.1.1?

      This was my reply via email on 10/29/21.

       

      Thank you. I am back connected to the internet. I downloaded the latest firmware and was able to get it loaded with my laptop using my phone as a Hotspot. I then reset my router and rebooted the modem. I don't know what step it was that fixed the problem but it is working now. Thank you for the help. 

       

      P.S. I did reboot the modem and the router as usual when I first realized that I had a problem. Up to that point there was no problem with my internet service and no notification that I needed to update the firmware on my router.

        Don't expect much, the WNDR3400 dates back to 2010. The "latest" update was in 2016.
