MR80 Won't connect to the Internet anymore (yes it is the router)
After wasting 4 hours of my day yesterday and now seeing that NG only provides support for 90d on their products. I thought I would write a post here. Long story short, I needed to move my cable modem and router location yesterday. Unplugged them, moved them to a new location, powered them up = router refuses to see the Internet anymore.
It worked flawlessly for months in its old location and all I did was move it. I wasted hours trying to blame Cox because let's be honest, they are usually the problem. However, when I finally patched 4 x12' ethernet cables across the floor modem > desktop the cox modem is working just fine it is the M80 that refuses to see the working internet.
Tried:
Numerous reboots
Factory reset it
= It still won't find the internet
I plugged in my old AX8 router into the modem = boom works immediately.
I plug my M80 into the AX8, still no internet.
Factory reset the M80 again, = still no internet during the setup wizard.
I have a box of old routers, I have never seen this kind of BS ever. Is there a real cause here? Any reliable way to fix it?
