    Moving house means that you now have a completely different internet setup.

     

    The first thing to do is to reset the router and everything else that moved with you.

     

    You may also have a different modem. In that case it may need tweaking to get it to play nicely with your router.

     

    Go back to square one and set up the network from scratch.

   Here's a radical concept:

 

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM

 

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.  Look for the
LED descriptions and "Troubleshoot".

         That's nice.  And an alert (but non-psychic) reader would be able to
      discern that from your problem report, how, exactly?

       

      > you arent very nice or helpful!!!!

       

         I'm sure that I'm absolutely abominable, but only one of us can see
      the LED indicators on your R6120, or get any information at all from its
      management web site, so who would you say is being less helpful?

       

         The "Troubleshooting" section of the R6120 User Manual has a whole
      list of things to check, things to try, and so on. The non-psychics in
      your audience can't do them, or see what happens when they're done by
      anyone else (like, for example, you).  If you expect anyone here to take
      a problem description with no more detail than "doesn't work", and pluck
      the solution out of the air, then you may be in for some disappointment.
