Just purchased a new RAX40 wireless router. After downloading the app and turning everything off and on multiple times, the Router can't detect the internet. I did a LAN connection to my laptop and it worked fine.
I am using a modem from Charter. I finally got it to work by doing a factory reset on the router. Then going through the steps again for the 5th time on the Nighthawk app.
It was very frustrating since it was brand new.
Also, spent 4.5 hours on hold with Netgear only for them to tell me by voice automation that they were having technical difficulties and then hung up on me.

I'm sure they're doing their best but how many companies had the capacity for that large or a surge or even keeping their employees healthy to be open or even take calls?
