C6900 - no RF signal XFINITY

[fakky]

Tried to swith out an xfinity arris to a nighthawk c6900.

Kept getting no RF signal ..... even though xfinity apparently activated the new device/MAC and reset.

Plugged the old router back in .... jhad them go back to that MAC and reset - alls good.

So - any ideas ?

I really want to move to a modem router that Im not paying $14 month for. But at the mercy of xfinity to a degree on the settings on their side also.

   Did an Ethernet-connected device work?

   You might start with an oft-neglected resource:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.  Look for the
LED descriptions and "Troubleshoot".  Pay particular attention to the
"WiFi On/Off button with LED".  Did you press it?  Further reading might
not hurt, either.
