What error do you get?
Are you able to connect to the wifi but it says "connected, no internet"
What actually happens?What modem/gateway is the router connected to?
- Crypto87Aug 07, 2022AspirantPhone and camera use the wifi and I have only 2 bars with the cell so I'll notice nothing loads while on the phone. Had a Cisco modem and just upgraded to an unknown modem from both from Spectrum. Same issue with both however.

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?Be sure the wifi button on top of the router is ON. IF thats OFF, press it for 5 seconds then release. Wifi LEDS should turn ON for 2.4 and 5Ghz.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

Try a different firmware for that router and see if that helps it. Maybe upgrade or downgrade the firmware depending which firmware it has.

Firmware Version is V1.0.4.84_10.1.84
i think the modem is EU2251 from Spectrum. Just upgraded from a Spectrum Cisco Model DPC3010. WIFI internet cuts out with both. Wifi is on just connected with no internet. I have not done a factory reset.

Did you have wifi problems with the old modem?
Did you reset the router when you changed the modem?
That tells it to forget settings inherited from the old modem.
