Connecting to what? Message from what?
The R6120 is a basic router. It has to connect to a modem of some sort to get you on to the Internet.
What is your modem?
Do not expect a lot from the R6120.
According to Netgear's manual for this device, not always the most reliable source of information, the LAN and WAN ports support only 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. That makes it slower than many newer internet services and most modern network hardware. This may not matter to you, but be warned that it will hobble you if you ever sign up for faster Internet, anything faster than 100 Mbps is a waste of your money.
It also slows down whatever is going on in your local network. Newer devices support at least 1000BASE-TX.Visit the support pages:
