R7850 cannot connect to the internet

I have model number R7850. I was working from a VPN and kept getting a error that it would reconnect so I unplugged the modem and it wouldn’t reconnect after that. I’m not A computer expert. Help! I work from home and really need to get back to work.
Model: R7800|Nighthawk X4S AC2600 Wifi Router

Re: R7850 cannot connect to the internet

What modem do you have?

What firmware is on it?

 

Try this method.

power off both devices and disconnect everything from both.

hook up coax to modem. power it on. give it serveral minutes with nothing connected.

then connect it to the router. 

power on the router. 

give it a few minutes.

 

does it work?

Re: R7850 cannot connect to the internet

Have tried all the disconnects, and resets but have not tried a different cable....Its really strange i am on the old router now and everything is fine.  I'm thinkin may be a speed issue...i have 50Mbs think the R7850 needs more
