Nighthawk R7800

I was trying to update the firmware for my router but kept getting a couldn't connect to the internet error so did a hard reset but now Netgear is showing as wifi but not connecting to the internet at all. 

 

Any suggestions please?

    That's a bit thin on useful details.

     

    What modem/gateway/ONT sits between the R7800 and the Internet?

     

    What is "showing as wifi but not connecting to the internet".

     

    To update the firmware start here:

      Thank you

       

      There's only a Foxtel box and the Nighthawk router.

       

      All our devices are showing as ' connected without internet' 

       

      I will try the link you provided.

        What is that Foxtel box? What is that Netgear router?

         

        Model numbers?

        What are these devices? How are they connected? Wired> WiFi?

         

        Where they say " connected without internet"?
