Hello all, my netgear nighthawk r6900p says it isn't connected to the internet even though the modem works. I have cycled the power multiple times to no avail is there anything I can do? This is the first time I'm using it

All the picture shows is that you have a LAN port with a 100 Mbps device plugged into Port 1. All the other LEDs are fine. The Internet light shows that it is connected. Just another user with time on their hands.

Both my phone and smart TV say that there is no internet when connected over wifi and my desktop also says it when connected via ethernet.

There is something on these devices that gives that message. Take the desktop, is it a browser? Is it the operating system? Can the mobile devices see the SSID for the WiFi? Just another user with time on their hands.

Both the phone and TV can connect but when I check the signal in the wifi settings it will say "connected without internet" on the computer it's says the same for the ethernet connection in the wifi settings
