Nighthawk and Xfinity Modem- No Internet?
I just got a Nighthawk X6S AC4000 router to replace my aging Apple Airport Extreme network, Modem has been set correclty to bridge mode and the radio deactivated, and the Extreme has been our wifi router with some devices directly wired to it as well. I tried to replace the AE with the Nighthawk, but the router would not relay the internet signal. Devices coould connect to the Nighthawk via WiFi and I had one computer wired in with ethernet as well. No internet access either way. The internet light on the Nighhawk is white and stable, indicating successful internet connection, but it is not being passed on to any connected devices. I was able to directly plug a laptio into the modem and got internet instanly, so the modem is working fine. I was also able to reconnect the AE network and that router does fine. I tried rebooting both the rouer and the modem severla times in different order. Sam issue. Cannot figure out what the problem.Solved5.1KViews0likes3CommentsVPN R7900 Connected to home, but no internet
hello, I was able to connect to my VPN home router in the USA. I have the R7900 Nighthawk. I followed the instructions from netgear and set up the client on my laptop abroad. I successfully connected to my router, at least by seeing the OpenVPN GUI showing green when I connect to my home router, so I assume that means I am connected via my VPN. After connecting via the VPN, I can't seem to connect to the internet via the VPN on any browser: Chrome, Firefox, Edge and I even tried Internet Explorer 11. I tried a combination of port triggering on 12974 and allowing from 500 to 1294? Just a shot in the dark. I don't know what I'm exactly doing, just trying anything. I am in Thailand now. I am trying to connect to my home VPN primarily to watch Netflix. Is this possible once I can connect to the internet after connecting the VPN? Thank you.Solved15KViews0likes5Comments
