Netgear AC1750 new setup, shows connected, no internet
New set up. Connected to Spectrum modem. Netgear Genie, Macbook Pro, iPad, Iphone, Roku, all show connected, but will not connect to internet. I have unplugged modem, and rebooted. Have unplugged...

So here is what I did, and now it’s all working. Unplugged everything.
Plugged modem back in and waited 2-3 minutes, all lights stable. Plugged Nighthawk
in, plugged yellow cable to WAN, to connect with modem. Waited 2-3 minutes
for lights to stabilize.
Only thing I did differently on my 10th attempt to connect, was to NOT plug Roku box in.I went to Netgear genie to verify it was connected. Then I connected each device. IPhones, iPad, MacBook.
After all were connected and verified connected to internet, I plugged Roku in, went to settings, connected Nighthawk. Everything is now working. I don’t know if hooking Roku too soon caused this problem, but it was the only thing I did differently. Thanks for all the help!

Standard modem. Not, as far as I can tell, any "routerting".
The first message is not clear on what you did.
then plugged Netgear back in
is not right.
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug modem.
- Turn off router and computers.
- Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it connect.
- Turn on computers and rest of network.
Maybe you did that. It isn't clear.

I tried it again and did exactly what you instructed me to do. The Nighthawk Netgear 60 appears to be connected with excellent stregnth in my Netgear genie, Roku, iPad, iPhone, Mackbook Pro. But when you try to get on the internet, no connection.
I am trying to replace my old Netgear (N600 WNDR3400). Each time I can't get connection with new Nighthawk, I can plug the N600 up and it comes right back on like a champ. It is just too slow anymore for streaming on Roku.
