No Internet To Router
My router has been set up for 3 years with no problems at all. A couple days ago the power went out breifly and we lost the wifi connection. I logged into Netgear Genie and attempted to reset every...
I unplugged everything for the 100th time and plugged it all back in, in the order the instructions say to do it. I swear I did that already a bunch of times but today it actually worked. It has to go in this order or it doesn't pick up internet.
1. Unplug everything, including modem
2. Plug in modem and wait for it to fully power on
3. Attach Ethernet from modem to router
4. Turn on router, Internet light should turn green
5. Set up wifi network
6. Connect to network on devices
this only worked with the new router I bought though, the old one still won't work. It connects to the Internet but no wifi. I've decided to call it a loss and move on with the new router
use the PC MAC address in the router's internet setup

You mean old router is totaly dead? Unable to log in to the router, unable to ping it, etc.
