Modem has internet but the router isn't sending a wifi signal to connect to. I hard reset the router and it'll work for a couple days than it will do the same thing again. Is my router bad or is this something that cam be fixed.
To simplify it the 2.4ghz 5ghz and 6ghz lights all go out the only ones lit are the power and the internet signal. Using a wired connection the internet will work however the router itself does not send a wifi signal out. I have a nighthawk axe1100 for the router and a aeris for the modem. I was told through the provider (xfinity) that the modem can't handle the internet speed that I currently have. I decided to replace the modem with a netgear cm 1100 to see if this resolves the issue.
The axe11000 is the model for the router its the nighthawk that looks like a space ship. Literally the first image that pops up on a Google search. But I'm not sure on firm ware and all that all I know is it says it's up to date
2. That modem you have it connected to? Its not just a modem. its a modem router combo device and causes a double nat.
A double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT Fixes? There’s 3 options but only use 1. 1. Put the modem/gateway in modem only/pass through mode. This disables its routing functions. 2. Leave the modem/gateway in router mode but put the Netgears IP address into its DMZ. This forwards the data to the netgear. You can either leave the modem/gateway’s wireless enabled or disabled. Just make sure its using a different wifi channel to prevent interference 3. Put the Netgear into access point mode. This disables its routing functions. Wifi/ethernet still works but it does disable some features. https://kb.netgear.com/26765/Which-features-are-disabled-on-my-NETGEAR-router-when-it-is-set-to-AP-M...
