Can't get Spectrum ET2251 internet through RAX70 router

I just replaced ATT with Spectrum internet. For over 4 years, I have been using a Netgear RAX70 router and EAX80 extender with the ATT modem with no problem. The new Spectrum modem with its own router works fine. When I connect the RAX70 to the Spectrum ET2251 modem, I can connect to WiFi but don't get internet. I've tried clean re-boot of modem and router...same thing: connected without internet. Is there a configuration of the RAX70 that needs to change? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Success! I rebooted again, first the modem, then the router. Once those were connected, I reconnected the extender. I did get a new message regarding an update to the router's IP address, so maybe some sort of reconfiguration happened automatically. I can now access all through a browser or the Nighthawk app.

Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
