Thank you for your response.
- Yes I have tried powering off the cable modem and router for upwards of 30 minutes.
- I have attempted to factory reset both the cable modem and router.
- The NIGHTHAWK DOES NOT obtain a WAN DHCP IP address when connected to the ARRIS TM822 (CABLE MODEM).
- The TP-LINK (DD-WRT) DOES obtain a WAN DHCP IP address from the ARRIS TM822 (CABLE MODEM).
- My PC (ETHERNET) DOES obtain a WAN DHCP IP address from the ARRIS TM822 (CABLE MODEM).
- The NIGHTHAWK DOES obtain a WAN DHCP IP address when connected to the TP-LINK.
Internet Provider support did mention that they had issues with Netgear routers. Not sure if that means they have a permanent ban on them somehow but replacing the MAC on the WAN side should resolve that issue.
