C6300 DNS issue
Modem-router worked perfectly for nine months, until I (unwisely, it turns out) decided to turn it off for a month when I went out of town. When I came back and turned it back on, I found the modem was still getting a signal from the ISP (all lights solid), and the computer (Mac) was still getting a signal from the router (both via ethernet cable and wifi), but the computer was unable to access the internet. Multiple reboots of all components, resetting modem -- nothing helped. Finally I discovered that running a ping test with an IP address was successful, but doing the same with a domain name failed. Hence likely a DNS issue in the modem. Any ideas, suggestions? (A different modem works fine with the same ISP and computer, so the problem is in the Netgear modem.)No available Firmware for Netgear C3000
I'm having issues with poor connectivity with this combo wifi router. My currect firmware version is V1.01.11, but I've read theres an update available V2.02.08 and nobody seems to have it. My ISP(Time Warner Cable) doesnt have the update so they gave me the # for Netgears techincal support department. I call Netgear and they basically said they dont have it either, nor is it on our support site so "call your ISP back".... GREAT! After speaking to my ISP for the second time, there is no resolve and im stuck with a POS router that i never should've purchased. I know the issue is not my internet connection cause I ran a speed test, which was fine, and its not the brandnew Iphone6. All i know is, Im about ready to sell this POS router and never purchase anything from this company again. To describe the issues, Im constantly getting the wifi disconnecting symbol and getting disconnected for all games that i play on my phone and the videos/Clips are constantly buffering. Does anyone else have this problem?
