CAX80 not working: port lights solid, all others flashing

Modem router has port lights solid but all other lights flash. I have tried resetting, unplugging power and WiFi signal has been verified good. The network does not pop up which means I can’t connect to the decide via its IP address to do further troubleshooting. Any suggestions?

The power LED?

 

Checked the power adapter? Do you have a compatible spare lying around?

 

Port = Ethernet? They usually flash to denote traffic. Likewise wifi LEDs blink on traffic.

Does not pop up where?

 

While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

Cable Modems & Gateways - NETGEAR Communities

You might like to search there for messages related to your issue.

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

Check for various troubleshooting tips.

You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
