OMG GUYS! FINALLY DID IT!!!!!!
My netgear wifi was giving me issue and not connecting to the 5ghz. And I had to restart my pc and or disabling the connection so it could connect withouht issue.
I did the hardcore reset. (as one of you guys mention)
This was my step.
1. Turn off everything and disconnect everything entirely, and connected again with the cables.
2. Turn the Arris modem and reset it.
3.Turn off the Netgear and reset.
4. Turn the Netgear and reset it again.
5. Connect the yellow cable to the main modem
6. Wiat for everything to boot up and issue solve
Guys thank you SO much for all the help, even though it did took me a lot to figuer it out and or understand this issue. Thanks for the advices and the ideas, they help me also to understand a bit.
I din't have to do nothing inside the Arris gateway. Now I can acess the gateway of my netgear. And din't think with logic, I just wne bananas and disconnect and did the hardcore reset. Now I will go and watch a guide to set up everything on my netgear from the gateway.
P.s. Finally! honestly thanks, thanks. I'm happy.
Do you think Genie does things you can't do manually yourself on any router? From now and then I come across Netgear routers. I never bother using Genie, not even once.
Well, the thing is that I do not know any other application or any other way to access and monitor my connection speed and who conects to my router.
Just popular speed test by Ookla is not good for you? Try Jperf then you can test speed realistically. You know what things like Genie makes people lazy IMO. It is like on a math calculation, instead of knowing steps to arrive at an answer it is like just wanting to know the answer.
I just shake my head when I go to a bank, seems like tellers can't even to a simple algebra in their head, they need a calculator. What if calculator battery goes dead? At age nearing 80, I still fix laptops, desk tops for neighbors, set up their home network, surveillance cameras, repair my son's friends vaccum tube vintage guitar amps, etc. I gave my next door kid(grade 6) a refurbished IBM Thinkpad. He promised me to cut my small lawn for this summer. Busy life is happy life, LOL! I know I am old fashioned!
Excuse me... but, do you know the features of genie?
Because it is more than verifying if your internet bandwith is in a good, excellent status etc. And yes, I do know and I am aware of the sites that can show you how fast your internet is at any moment, but that is not the only thing as to why I want to monitor my routers behavior. Verifying my wireless settings, Network map, Trafic meter... etc, etc.
I really want it to work and be compatible with my router.
