Help setting up new WiFi router
Hello everyone, please bear in mind that I have minimal knowledge of networking. I recently just bought an AX1800 WiFi 6 router to replace my old AC750 router which was becoming very slow and lasted...
Out of curiosity, what is the ethernet port on the wall of your home connected to? I assume there is a gateway device somewhere in the house as ISPs don't usually just drop an ethernet line to home environments. Assuming there is a gateway device, it may be bound to the MAC address of your old AC750. I'd find that gateway device, power it down, unplug your new AX1800, plug in the gateway device, wait a few minutes, then plug back in your AX1800. This is pretty general advice, knowing more about your specific networking environment in the house would be helpful.
