    Have you tried a different dns provider? Or enabling ipv6? 

    Try a different DNS Server. Here's a few for ipv4. Also remember to change the ipv6 dns server if ipv6 is enabled
    CloudFlare 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
    GoogleDNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

     

     

    Does it connect to the wifi but just not find an internet connection? 
    Did anything change with the router during that process?

What rowing machine is it? 

What modem/gateway is your router connected to?

    It’s an Aviron Impact rower, the modem is an Arris TM1602 through Spectrum.

      Are you using IPv6? 

      Any netgear armor or parental controls? 

      Or access controls?

        I'm using IPv4, no armor or parental controls.  I was using access control with it allowed but I also tried turning access control off, it still doesn't work.
