Where to find cable connection information R90000?
my old modem was a netgear c7800 and i could go into the firmware and check the cable connection and it would show me the signal strength from the cable company the dbmv. i cant seem to find this information with me R9000 modem is it hidden somewhere?
issues resolved they are back working factory reset seemed to corrupt the firmware and i couldn't access the configuration software i was getting a 404 error on both devices. i ended up doing a 2nd factory reset and the error went away and i was able to configure both devices again. just frustrating when things don't work as they should. i guess i should have done the 2nd factory reset before complaining.

Your old C7800 modem was a modem/router. Your new R9000 is not a modem, it is a plain vanilla router. It needs a modem to get an Internet connection.
If you still have the C7800 you could try using that as the modem front end for the R9000.
Cable modem/routers do not make this easy.
i do have a netgear modem ahead of the router is there a way of connecting to the firmware with out unpluging the router?
