c6300 Wifi Not Working
Just had two power outages back to back. Upon 2nd recovery, the internet had stopped working. A quick plug pull and the modem came back up just fine, but now I have intermittent connectivity. Speedtests show DL speeds up to 75 Mbps and UL speeds towards 7 Mbps but the internet kicks out every minute or so. More importantly though, the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless are no longer working. Both lights are unlit and hitting the WiFi and WPS buttons do absolutely nothing. So far I've tried resetting with the actual reset button on the back, holding it for 60 seconds as recommended by chat support, unplugging everything for awhile then reinstalling, disabling the network adapter (PC ethernet) and re-enabling it and then also tried updates to the network adapter itself but there are none. Everything was working fine just up until the two power outages so now I'm wondering if this one is just completely shot. If so, I'd rather go back to Linksys/Cisco for an all in one cable modem/router option as this NetGear was the only one that was available at the time when I went to upgrade from an Arris Surfboard 6141.I need help!
I don't know what board to select or where to start, so first off I apologize! I need a Netgear wifi modem that's compatible with time warner spectrum. The "compatible models" are: C6250, C3000-100NAS, C3000v2, C3700-100NAS, C3700v2, C6300, C700-100NAS, and N450 CG3000Dv2. I don't know what any of those mean! I see on craigslist models that have model no: dgnd3700 and also says n600? Would that work? Someone please help me, thank you so much!!Router reset without print or user maual
I forgot everything that I need for my router and I would like to reset it but the print on the side panel is ripped off and I don't have a user manual for it, am I able to still sit it up without using the print and user manual to set it up? For connecting to wifi I can't hook up to it+++++++++++ NETGEAR N450 Disconnects Once every hour on the dot - DHCP ISSUES +++++++++++++
Model: NETGEAR N450 (CG3000Dv2) N450 WiFi Cable Modem Router Firmware: V3.01.06 OS: Windows 7 Enviroment: Single Modem, no router, direct wired connection My n450 was working fine for a couple months but this past week it started having problems. Once an hour, every hour, on the dot within a few seconds the N450 will disconnect for about 5 seconds then reconnect. I can precisely predict when it will disconnect before it disconnects and like clockwork the N450 will disconnect. I am not running this on a wireless connection, I have no cable splitters, no router, just a direct connection from the modem to the PC. I have checked the cables from my computer to the modem and the cable from the modem to the wall, and even the crawl space behind the wall leading to the outside cable box, all cables are in perfect condition. I did some research and people are claiming that the issue is a 1 DHCP hour lease and that sounds EXACTLY like the problem I am having. I searched the N450 N450 CG3000Dv2 User Manual and on page 69 the instructions for modifying the DHCP state: ------------------------------------- Reserve an IP Address for DHCP Use To reserve an IP address for DHCP use, enter the DHCP server reservation settings for the private LAN under DHCP Reservation Lease Info in the LAN IP screen. To reserve an IP address for DHCP: 1.Type http://192.168.0.1 in the address field of your web browser. A login screen displays. 2.Enter the modem router user name and password. The default user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive. The modem router main menu displays. 3.In the main menu, under Advanced, select LAN IP. The LAN IP screen displays. 4.In the DHCP Reservation Lease Info section, enter the MAC address of the computer for which you want to reserve an IP address. 5.Enter the permanent IP address for the computer. 6.Click the Add button ----------------------------------- But literally on the third step these instructions stop working. There is no LAN IP button or link anywhere in the Advanced options. There are many threads on this issue for this specific modem with people claiming they are constantly getting disconnected. A common remedy people have suggested is to perform a factory reset so I did just that, but that also did not fix my problem. Here is a collection of threads that people posted with similar issues that I am having to hopefully prove this is not an isolated incident. Getting disconnected like this is incredibly frustrating as a gamer. Many of the games I play are senstive to disconnects and punish the player. For grandma browsing facebook a 1 hour DHCP timer would never be noticed. For me it's incredibly painful because not only do I get interupted once an hour, I have to sit out for 20-30 minutes to wait for the DHCP timer to expire before getting commited in a ranked match. https://community.netgear.com/t5/Cable-Modems-Routers/N450-disconnects-every-hour/td-p/1025699 https://community.netgear.com/t5/Cable-Modems-Routers/N450-WiFi-keeps-disconnecting/td-p/978900 https://community.netgear.com/t5/General-WiFi-Routers/DHCP-Lease-Length/td-p/466827 https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/Why-is-there-no-DHCP-Lease-settings-on-a-200-top-tear-router/m-p/1118769#U1118769 Please do not suggest returning the product, it's just insulting because I spent like 100$ to fix my internet problems by purchasing the n450, returning the product would mean 1 week+ with no internet and another 100$+ for another modem. Again I want to repeat what is so frustrating about this issue is that this router was working fine for months, and only a few days ago does this DHCP issue manifest.NETGEAR AC1750 / C6300 wifi cable modem router LAN connectivity problems

THANKS.Nighthawk C7000-100NAS AC1900 Modem Router Proper Optimization
Does anyone have any optimization suggestions for setting up the router? I'm with Time Warner and because of the many devices we have connected in our home, we're getting low speeds even though we have 200mbps. I know we won't get close to this with wi-fi, but we can't watch tv without seeing the rebuffering circle every few minutes. Called Netgear and they want to charge a service fee for supporting their own equipment. Um, no...so, I'm reaching out to the community. Also, have a question about why my single network shows up as 5 when we look to change the internet channel because of interference. There could be no other network on a channel I switch to, then, poof! There's 5 all of a sudden. Why? Thanks!.Connect Netgear WNR 1000v2 to comcast technicolor tc8305c gateway to extend wifi signal
Ok People, I only know enough to be dangerours and Comcast is NO HELP at all so please go easy on me. (Completely different topic that I could B*#^@% about for Days). Anyway... I have Poor Wifi in areas of house from comcast technicolor tc8305c. (tc8305c is in lower level of house and it's pretty much going to be very difficult to relocate and signal is very poor on second level addition to home) I have run ethernet from the tc8305c up to an old wnr1000v2 in order to extend or repeat the wifi signal. I have been able to get this to work using Lan from gateway (tc8305c) to wan port on wnr1000v2. In that configuration, both have seperate SSID. This does work, but wondering if some of the laging issues are due to double NAT I've read about. The gateway (tc8305c) to internet uses an ip of 10.0.0.1 while the wnr1000v2 uses 192.168.1.1 Both have DHCP enabled. In reading about this, it appears if I change the ethernet from Lan to Wan over to Lan on Gateway to Lan on Wnr10000v2 and give the wnr1000v2 a static ip address and disable DHCP that is supposed to work. However I cannot figure out what the static address should be. DHCP for the gateway is set Beginning at 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.252 and I believe the wnr1000v2 needs to be set outside that? (So 10.0.0.253?) I don't care if they have 2 seperate Ip address, however I have also read that going Lan to Lan, if I change the SSID on wnr1000v2 to match that of the gateway, then everything is "supposed" to flow seamlesly and would use whatever signal is strongest depending on where in house you are. This apparently would also make a wifi network (Work)? Hope this makes some sort of sense. If the above isn't possible, what is the best way to get the signal to reach all areas of the house using an hard wired ethernet connection from the gateway up to addition. Anyway, "ANY" help would be much appreciated. I'll send out for Scotch ! (Or Whiskey, whatever gets this thing working). Thanks Very Much Macdevice does not have wifi signal c6300
I purchased the netgear c6300 wifi modem router combo, everything is installed and up to date, cable works just fine. the wifi works upon reboot for anywhere between 30 seconds to a couple hours but without a doubt fails. when i say it fails i mean that the modem still has every wifi setting turned on, enabled, lights are lit up, modem says that wifi is active, but there is no actual wifi signal appearing on any device, on either the 2.4 or 5g bands. I have already replaced the device once and continue to have the exact same issue. how can i make this a stable connection?C6300 WiFi randomly turns off... often.
I keep losing wifi. My wired connection keeps working when the wifi drops. LED lights on will be: Top "lock" LED off Green wifi LED on Green Power LED on Green Down LED on Green Up LED off Green Internet LED off Green 2.4 GHz off Green 5 GHz off Green Network LED on USB LED off We have to unplug the C6300 for about 5 minutes and plug it back in to get wifi to work again. Seems to be a common netgear issue, but I haven't found the fix for it.
