Do a factory reset. There's a Reset button at the back of the router. Press it in for 7-10 seconds, then release. You'll have to set up again everything. If you have a backup of your settings, you can safely load it and bypass setting from scratch
- I reset it and it gets all the way to the spot that says checking cable ✔️.. then checking internet and icon spins for a while then it says no internet try again? And I tried again but same result.
