r7800 cannot connect
Hello I have bought a r7800 set up and turned on and I can't connect using said WiFi password. Did factory reset still can't connect. And sometimes power led goes solid orange
I think the problem lies within not being able to connect at all.
Once I enter the WiFi password it just hangs on connecting.
When I click on information it says connect awaiting IP address and that's as far as it gets it never ever connects and says connected to the SSID
And on ethernet it just says not connection.

There can be various reasons for that.
What says "not connection"? What is the exact message?
From what? A PC? Windows?
And the colour of that power LED?

Connecting from what wifi client and with what? A browser? An app?
Troubleshooting needs these things is a systematic and methodical approach, taking one step at a time in the right order.
- Power light is now white constantly
When I get on laptop and phone there is a small I by the connection. When I click that it says connection status obtaining IP address and that's as far as I get.
It doesn't say like usual connected to Netgear router as it should. And it doesn't show as connect to router on laptop or phone
And sometimes the router isn't even picked up by my phone or laptop wirelessly or ether net

The Windows notification area?
Have you tried the Network Troubleshooter in Windows?
- It's on the WiFi menu next to routers name when it displays. A small I.
Yes tried ethernet trouble shooter says no problems đ
