R6400 No internet

I activated a CM700 modem with spectrum today and have internet when directly connecting the modem to my laptop. I cannot get an internet connection from the router. My laptop will say it is connected, but no internet. I cannot even get into the router settings with my laptop hardwired to the router.

I have restarted all multiple times, starting with disconnecting everything and working up from the modem.

    Factory reset did the trick. I had tried that earlier but did not hold it long enough to truly reset. All good now!

  • Is this an R6400 that you had already?

     

    Did you factory reset it?

     

    Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:

    • Turn off and unplug modem.
    • Turn off router and computers.
    • Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
    • Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it connect.
    • Turn on computers and rest of network.

      • That's good news.

         

        You are not the first person to have had problems getting a router to reset.
