R7000 Nighthawk - No Internet Connection
Hello...this one really has me perplexed. When I log into my router, the main page always says 'Internet - Not Connected'. However...all WIFI devices that are managed by my router ARE are connected...

Wow 3 years with out a reset. Thats probably pretty good run. Yes I would reset and setup from scratch and see if this helps, if not, Try updating FW.

Hey folks,
I've tried all suggestions, including resetting the router back to its factory settings.
I used the Nighthawk app to do the entire fresh setup.
Eventually the router connected all our devices to the Internet; after all that, the Netgear Nighthawk App (running on my iPhone) shows 'INTERNET: Online' (but when you run the Internet Speed Test on the App it says 'Connection Failed' and to reboot the router) and look at it on the PC Software it shows: Internet Not Connected. Bottom line - I'll live with it and will probably purchase a newer unit in the next year or so anyway. I'd like to stick with the Netgear brand. Any recommendations? Go with the newer 'mesh technology' units?
Thanks.

I would have walked thru the routers setup wizard with a wired PC and web browser...the NH app could cause some odd issues to be seen.
I'm enjoying a RAX50 currently.
MK80s MESH seems to be ok.
Orbi, well, there good...however, FW has been a roller coaster ride to say the least.
Any mesh systems are kind of dependent upon size of home.
