New setup have connection but no internet Nighthawk X6 R8000
I have spent the last 3 hours trying to troubleshoot why my computer, android phone and TV all show connected but have no internet. I am not a techy but I followed the steps I believe. Is there anyone out there that can walk me through the steps in simple terms as I am about to send this into orbit!!

Symptom: no internet connection for connected wireless devices (wired fine) How I fixed it myself... Reset modem, reset router, set security setting on ONE bandwidth from WPA to none. Tested connection and it worked. Put the security WPA BACK on and everything still worked. Netgear support never tried that with me after an hour on the phone.

Does your computer support the 5ghz band if not you could get a usb ac wifi adaptor if you have a usb 3 port use that standard it will handle up to 4.8 gb data rate usb 2 supports 480mb data rate in a perfect world.
If your devices see the 5gz bands as well as the 2.4 ghz you can either but I would go for the 5ghz faster and less wifi traffic on it.
The netgear 18 is yor 2.4 ghz band and the netgear 18 5g's are 5ghz bands.
You may want to set up the router now you have it work in default now

Netgear18 is your 2.4GHz network radio. It is slower than the other two but it will give you a network connection farther away from the router than the other two 5GHz network radios.
Netgear18 5G 1 is one of your 5GHz network radios and Netgear 5G2 is your second 5GHz network radio. They use different frequencies (bands) and work at the same time. They give you a faster network speed but are more limited in range as compared to your Netgear18 network radio.

Unable to get an internet connection - did the update of 1.0.3.36_1.1.25 and the connection was very intermittant but now I get nothing. Reboots to no avail. Hard reboot with the help of netgear's tech help, but when that did not work, they told me I was no longer in warranty and could pay to have further assistance. I have tried the auto detect through Netgear Genie... nothing. looking for any articles to try....

You have just joined in on an existing conversation that may or may not have anything to do with your problems.
There is a good chance that the official support team is busily monitoring new conversations and may miss your addition to this one.
If you want help with your problem, it helps to check all previous stuff that may be related, but then you should start your own discussion. In this was you can also provide your own version of the information that the forum suggests that you provide.
If you do decide to ask a question, you really need to provide more details. For example, as this is a router, it helps to know what modem you are using and the various things that you have tried to fix the problem.

Ever once in a while the answer to a problem is outside the normal box of answers glad you found a answer to fix your issue from the sound of your posting.
...2.4 works fine but the 5g says no internet connection.
What is telling you that there is no connection? The router? A wifi client?
Have you been through the steps described in the solution here?
PS You have joined in on an older discussion so there's a chance that the official support team will be too busy following new stuff to find your message. It is usually better to start your own fresh discussion if you want their attention.
