R6700v3 Issues with Stadia
Hello all. Thanks for giving this a read. I picked up a NetGear Nighthawk RG700v3 about 7 months ago. I picked it up to stream games on Stadia. I was using a Belkin before that which wasn't fast enou...
The firmware is V1.0.4.106_10.0.80
If a firmware update or a hotfix is the issue, is there even a way to fix that?
The modem is from Spectrum. It's just a simple modem with 2 lights on the front with a coaxial and an ethernet port on the back. I can look up the exact model number when I get home this evening. It is absolutely not a router.
I would assume that a lot of people "turn up here" because this community pops up over and over again in google searches for problems with the equipment for this community. A lot of people use netgear. I read several threads from this community before posting.
I understand that they are there for a good reason. I thought I had provided enough information to get some sort of help

Sounds like a basic modem. Many ISPs like to dump modem/routers on customers. They can make it hard to set up a network.
Yeah, updating the firmware didn't make any difference whatsoever. I didn't think it would.
However what did happen since updating the firmware on the router is that now I can't log into the nighthawk app. After several failed attempts now, including restarting everything and deleting the app and reloading the app on my phone, well, still won't let me sign in. Just spins those little white circles and goes right back to the sign in screen, then tells me logon has timed out.
That app has been reliable since I loaded it on my phone. Until today, 5 minutes after updating the firmware on the router.
