Nighthawk R7000 internet connection

The Nighthawk is randomly letting devices like my IPad connect to internet and others like my laptop not. The wireless connection is good for both. I have reset the router several times, but it still won't let certain devices connect to internet. This problem started after I replaced my modem. Does anybody have any suggestions?

 

thank you

It wasn't related to the Nighthawk, but a change I needed to make in the IP address settings in the Amazon settings. Thanks again, you pointed me in the right direction!

Do you have multiple different gigahertz WiFi networks running?

Yes I do! The modem also has this.

Try turning all of them off but keep 2.4ghz on.

Re: Nighthawk R7000 internet connection

I followed your advice and had some success. I ended up turning the 2.4 and 5 off on the modem, so that the Nighthawk is the only wireless appliance. The success is that I've now been able to reconnect my laptop, but still no success with the Amazon Firestick. Any other ideas?

 

thanks for your help!
