As stated in my reply post ISP is Comcast. Firmware is V1.4.10.8. I’ve contacted ISP and they've checked the signal as good. I’ve asked them also to provision the modem correctly. The feedback I get from them is that they don’t have the router/modem schematic so they can’t provide support. There is a small cable piece between the coax coming in and the modem/router that they call a splitter but that’s the first time I’ve heard that these are not allowed. Comcast says it’s a necessary device for them.
As far as setting the channels, I haven’t customized any of the settings on the device. It connected fine when it was first installed by the Comcast tech. Worked great. This is the first time that I’ve dealt with a modem/router that failed to come back online and connect all it’s subordinate devices. Don’t know at this point if it’s the device (hardware/software) that’s not truly compatible with it or if Comcast is making it more difficult for outside devices to work with they’re internet. Unfortunately, I think I may have to succumb and get Comcast’s fully supported hardware to avoid dealing with this mess every time this nighthawk needs to be rebooted.

Not sure why but my reply was deleted. I’m having the same issues as you. My modem/router failed to come back online after a power outage. Was wondering if you’ve made any headway on this or any other solution to fix this issue. Thanks.
