CAX80 won't work at all on WOW Internet; firmware update ruined it
Here's the deal. I just got in the mail today a replacement from Netgear for my CAX80. (Hindsight says I may not have needed it, but here we are.) I am with WOW Internet as my ISP in Columbus, O...
yes, you can get the CAX80 working on WOW if you put it into modem mode; you lose all of the router functionality, but it works perfectly as a modem.
Factory reset device, plug it into WOW cable and plug in the power cable, wire into one of the LAN ports on the modem, as it's booting up, keep trying to get into 192.168.1.1 and as soon as you can, speed through the setup process and when you reach the router GUI, flip router mode to NO. The device will reboot and will come back online without wifi/router functionality, but it'll work. I've run mine this way for months without issue.
