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.Solved5.1KViews0likes3CommentsSlow WiFi Speed on Nighthawk R8000
Hello, i have Comcast Blast Internet 150MB. My setup is a Netgear N600 Modem/Router with wifi disabled and my Nighthawk R8000 plugged into that. My direct connect wired connection to the N600 gets 180 down, wireless on the Nighthawk is 23-25 down. I have changed channels and used multiple devices (computer, ipad, galaxy, iphone, and xbox) and get the same results. Any suggestions to get the speeds I know this router is capable of?Solved12KViews1like11CommentsR7000 Speed issues
Good Afternoon, I have noticed that over ther past month my WiFi has been dropping and the speed is not what it should be. I have Xfinity 75/10 speed. When I checekied today I was getting between 3-18 downlaod speed.The odd part is that upload is always 12. I reset everything and it did not improve. I thought a firmware update would be the best choice. I was unable to do an automatic update. The online portal kept telling that it could not connect to the netgear servers. I downloaded the file from netgear and I am now on Firmware Version V1.0.7.10_1.2.3 I still have the same issues hardwired to the router or via WiFI. Direct connected to my modem I get 80 d/l speed. Are there any setting in the advanced section that I can changed to pass through the full speed? Thank You JamesSolved5.3KViews0likes15Comments
