Nighthawk R6700v2 - No internet from modem - Gets IP for a few seconds then WAN link goes down
Hello everyone, I've read every(!) post about the R6700 and no internet connection. I've tried all the suggestions with no avail. So hopefully someone can help me with my specific setup.
TL;DR...
If your older router works fine, Probably your R6700 is bad. I would go to a local store with NG routers and a good refund policy and check out out for a few days.
Also need to check your network adapter card as well. Make sure it's able to connect to a router, modem and a switch at 1000mb and not 100Mb.
What is the mfr and model# of your PCs network adapter card? Does it support 100Mb max or 1000Mb max?

I have a very old BIOSTAR TH67+ LGA 1155 Intel H67. Yes, it's max is 1000mb/s. Also, I was recieving ~400mb/s before all this trouble started. Good thought.
So when this PC is connected to the modem directly, your only seeing 100Mb? Happen to have another PC to test this with?
Possible that the WAN port on the modem isn't giving 1000mb speeds.

Correct.
> Happen to have another PC to test this with?
Yes I have a MacBook Pro I can* test with. I'll do that as well when I get home.

I know with at least two of the modems (a modem-only, and a modem/router comb) I was only getting 100mb which leads me to believe there is something wrong on my PC. Also, the modem/router combo was putting out 400mb/s through the WiFi, but my computer was only getting 100mb/s.
