I bought a new router R6850 AC2000 and installed it correctly and all is well now. Thank you for your help.

You have the R6400? Yes
What modem/gateway is it connected to? Twin Communications
What firmware is running on it? V1.0.4.106
Is this a new setup? No, but I had to reset the router because of a storm.
Or what changed to cause this? If I need to cconnect a new TV or cell phone, I have to reboot the router before it will work on that device.
On my main TV, it says "Connected, no Internet".

Twin communications is a company.
what gateway/modem is the R6400 connected to?

Yes, I know. They have an antenna on a tall pole on my house. It has a cat five cable coming into a small box that looks like a power supply for a laptop. From tere another cat 5 cable goes to the input of the R6400. There is no lable on their box.

Seems like we're running into a lot more issues lately with users of broadcast internet.
Not sure if its because of more companies using it or what.
If you connect a simple unmanaged switch to their box, are you able to connect mulitple devices ?

I did a factory reset and setup the router. Now all works except some iPhones and one laptop. Any ideas? I bought a R6850 AC2000 today and if we can't get the R6400 AC1750 working properly, we will replace it with the new one.
