R6300-AC1750 Router doesn't connect to CM600

I started thinking about firmware after my last post.

I could then update to the current firmware and still retain the internet connection. If I applied a saved cfg file to the router from current firmware I could replicate the problem with the internet connection. The repair process was repeated: clear the cfg settings by resetting the router to the factory settings, revert to the previous firmware and then update to the current firmware. Everything was fine with the internet connection with the CM600
