If we connect directly (wired) to the router we can get on the internet, if we try wifi on the tv, cell phone, computer etc.... we can get connected to wifi but no data flows via wifi. We had some power outages and the internet company came out and said the modem was bad, hooked a new modem up and it worked fine, but same issue with the router....is it possible the wifi part of the router got fried or is there some setting that I can change to have data flow via wifi???
You mean you can connect a lan cable from the router not the modem correct and have the internet ?
You have done reset of the router and reset it up and the prolem is still there correct ?
If a firmware problem have you tried to reflash the the firmware on the router ?
Possible something was damaged in the wifi but you said the wifi transmitting with no internet content so part of the wifi circuits have to be working.
Would make sure every thing else was working correct before I would say the wifi was circuits were damage
Did you reboot the network in order after the modem replacement, modem first let fully boot, router next let fully boot and lastly let the your devices boot on the network ?
