R6300-AC1750 Router doesn't connect to CM600
My R6300 Router will not connect to my new netgear CM600 cable modem. The internet light remains amber. I've done the appropriate power down/reboots on the modem and router with no success. I've done ...
I started thinking about firmware after my last post. I did some testing and found that if I reset the reset the router to the factory settings and then reverted to the previous firmware for the R6300 (1.0.2.76) the Router would then connect to the DHCP on the CM600. 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
Try a 30/30/30 reset and then do a reflash. The 30/30/30 is continuously holding the reset button down for 30 seconds with power to the router on, keep pressing the reset while powering off for 30 seconds, and keep holding for another 30 while powering back on. After the reflash, do the same 30/30/30 cycle and see if the DHCP works.
If you have a R6400 and select the dd-wrt route, be sure to look for the specific firmware release for the R6400. Check out their website and wiki before you take the plunge.
