New setup have connection but no internet Nighthawk X6 R8000
I have spent the last 3 hours trying to troubleshoot why my computer, android phone and TV all show connected but have no internet. I am not a techy but I followed the steps I believe. Is there any...
- Symptom: no internet connection for connected wireless devices (wired fine)
How I fixed it myself...
Reset modem, reset router, set security setting on ONE bandwidth from WPA to none.
Tested connection and it worked.
Put the security WPA BACK on and everything still worked. Netgear support never tried that with me after an hour on the phone.
A new day and a new start I reset everything and tried again. I have internet but I do have a question.....why is it that the network Netgear18 shows on my PC but my phones, tv etc have Netgear18 and the 2 Netgear18 5G 1 and Netgear 5G2...which ones do I connect to? I know stupid question!
Does your computer support the 5ghz band if not you could get a usb ac wifi adaptor if you have a usb 3 port use that standard it will handle up to 4.8 gb data rate usb 2 supports 480mb data rate in a perfect world.
If your devices see the 5gz bands as well as the 2.4 ghz you can either but I would go for the 5ghz faster and less wifi traffic on it.
The netgear 18 is yor 2.4 ghz band and the netgear 18 5g's are 5ghz bands.
You may want to set up the router now you have it work in default now
