Netgear R9000 nighthawk x10 internet appears offline when there’s connection
I just recently got the router. Heard it was one of the best. When I downloaded the nighthawk app, next to the image it says “internet: offline.” I tried restarting the router and the modem. Checked i...
- I accidentally figured it out. I thought AP mode is the best, which wasn’t in my case, so I swapped back to router mode. I just went on https://www.routerlogin.com to do all of that but you have to connect an ethernet cable to from your router and to a computer. Then as I swapped back from AP mode it now accurately shows the status as online from now on.

Wouldn't amaze me.

You might have been right.

And you might now be wrong.

That may correct the problem with the Internet indicator, but it may
still be a bad idea. Cascading multiple routers can cause multiple
problems. These include "double NAT", and complications in
communication between local devices which are on different IP subnets.

get the (new) LAN IP address of the R9000-as-WAP from the main router
(an "Attached Devices" or "DHCP Clients" or similar report) and use that
address.If your "ARRIS BGW210-700 modem" is really acting as a modem+router,
not as a simple "modem", then you might have less trouble with the R9000
configured as a WAP, faulty Internet indicator or not.
