What are all the lights on the router doing?
What modem are you using?
did it randomly stop or what were you doing when it disconnected?
Can you hardwire into the router to access the gui?
Have you tried a factory reset? Push and hold reset while its powered on for 7-15 seconds. The lights should change.

the lights are on which is a good sign.
You don't need to access it via wifi. You can hardwire a device to the router. Its how I recommend everyone for whenever they're updating firmware to do it.
wifi blinking usually means data is transmitting/receiving. Which is a good sign.
Did you try rebooting both the modem and router?
Make sure to power up the modem first. give it a few minutes and then boot the router.
Many times if your wifi/ethernet are working but you're getting "no internet available" it can be a modem issue. go to 192.168.100.1. This should be the ip address for the modem. You can log into it and see its modem connections page. Take a screen snip of that and post it back if the rebooting/resetting doesn't fix the issue.

Re: R6220 Internet LED not working
Oh, I misunderstood. I have to be plugged into the modem to have a connection, so I don't think I can plug into the router at the moment. Resetting them both didn't work earlier today, and that site says it's all fine. I've seen a couple of posts specifically about the R6200 not detecting the source, though none of the solutions made any sense. Let me know if that's the wrong tab to take a picture of, lol. It seems counterintuitive for the Wi-Fi light to be the one that's on, and not the internet

No worries! Glad to help.
On the modem, click on signal. take the screen snip of that. it shows the modem signal to the ISP. Does your internet work directly connected to the modem?
Are you connected directly to the modem or going through the router?
if your connecting through the router to the modem, its pulling a signal from the modem. Then its on the modem to provide the public ip to the router.

Re: R6220 Internet LED not working
Yeah it only works through the modem, that's what I'm on now. The router is a hunk of junk at the moment. Oddly enough it shows up on my phone when searching for connections, but with no connection

Re: R6220 Internet LED not working
What firmware is on the R6220?
You can try re-installing the current firmware, factory resetting, and going through setup again. Occassionally firmware can get corrupted and a reset only removes the settings. Thats were reinstalling the firmware can help.
If that doesn't help, try downgrading the firmware a version and doing the factory reset/reinstall.
You've got some line issues. It shouldn't stop the R6220 from connect to it. If its only been online for just over an hour (from prior snip), your getting quite a few errors. If you have any splitters, amplifiers, attenuators in your coax line, try removing them. If possible, directly connect the modem to where the line enters your home. If thats not possible, inspect the coax line for kinks, bends, extended runs, wear, poor connections, etc.

BTW, the router will show up as from the sound of it the wifi is working. It just isn't getting signal from the modem. The goal is to figure out if its a modem issue or router issue causing the problem.
Also, check your ethernet cable between the modem/router. If you have a different cable, try replacing it.

Re: R6220 Internet LED not working
Firmware: V1.1.0.34_1.0.1
I'll look into the line - we had issues when we first moved into this apartment finding a connection, so I wouldn't be shocked.
Also, LOL. Resetting it and redoing the network worked. No idea why. It didn't have any new firmware upgrades. If anyone googles this, like I did, give some kudos to plemans and then reset your router. I forgot that you can connect to it without internet - would've saved me some time. You're the man. Now the question is, wtf was causing this???

Re: R6220 Internet LED not working
Not sure why the router isn't showing you the newer firmware. The .34 version is 9 versions behind. The newest firmware for the R6220 is 1.1.0.92
Potentially you're on to old of a firmware version. I'd try manually updating the firmware. Lots of bug and security fixes in that time.
download the file and extract it.
- Click ADVANCED > Administration > Firmware Update.
- Click Browse and find the file you just downloaded.
- Click Upload. Do not interrupt the upgrade while the router does this step.
Try doing this an updating the router. You might need to factory reset 1 more time after the update. Usually you don't need to but if there's enough changes in the firmware, it helps.

Re: R6220 Internet LED not working
The release notes go over all the bugs and security fixes. I know one of the more recent had a bug fix for wan/lan throughput but they don't go into specifics usually.
