As it stands, the ISP can see the new modem I set up and claim they are having no issues communicating with it.
The internet indicator on the router is flashing white (as it should?), but I can't get internet through either a LAN connection nor wireless. I have tried the setup wizard both through the router itself and the Nighthawk app. The router wizard just can't find the internet and asks me if I want to try again. The nighthawk app can't connect either, and something strange is happening.
The app has been connected to the router wirelessly through my phone(Pixel 3A of it matters), but I'm forced to "sign-in" (wireless settings menu on the phone) to the SSID which redirects me to the Spectrum modem activation page that I've already gone through. Then I have to select to use that network in the app for it to work. But, even after all that, I can't reach the internet aside from Spectrum's activation page.
Also, to note, I did a full reset of the router just to make sure it was a clean install with the modem.
I connected the modem to the 1G port on my motherboard. I figured that had to be the correct port (vs. the 2.5G) because it had 600+GB of traffic in the last month.
It's coming up as an unidentified network. The troubleshooter is telling me that it doesn't have a "valid IP configuration."
This new tech told me the first two had set me up wrong (essentially) on their end. My lord. If you're going to advertise compatible products, you should understand how said products work.
