How is the R7800 connected to the cable modem?
What gives you the offline error message? A mobile app?
What do you see in a web browser and the graphical user interface (GUI)?

It is more like something from an operating system or software. Maybe even a browser? According to Google, those words seem to afflict just about everything in IT land.
Which browser did you use? Do you have an alternative that you can try?
You say that you have just moved things around physically, but sometimes something goes amiss and you have to reset the while network, including the router.
- Elmer157Nov 30, 2023TutorMoved everything back to original location. Same error messages. I use my iPad and iPhone w same connectivity issues. I use safari. I have no connection issues at work just home. Similar issues with my smart tvs. Cannot connect to the internet. Xfinity is my internet provider. Beginning to wonder if the router is bad. Hope not. I’m convinced that the solution is right there.
