Last night, the area was hit with a nasty lightning storm. All my stuff is surge protected, as evidenced that I still get Internet connection, but ONLY throught the Cable modem/router (My R9000 is connected to the cable modem/router.
After the power was restored, I no longer had the Nighthawk connection, but still had the cable modem. When I shut off the R9000 and restart it, some lights flash, the lights labeled 1 through 6 flash ORANGE, and in the end only the two leftmost light are illuminated.
I've tried unplugging it several times to reboot it, but the results are the same. I can't image the R9000 was damaged when nothing else was. The R9000 is about 1 1/2 years old, and the manual that came with it was very general, saying just to plug it in and it connects. Any help is appreciated.
Appreciation to everyone who pondered this. The problem was with the cable provider's modem that I had the X10 connected to. I'm almost pleased that I had this problem because in fixing it, I was reminded that the recent iPhone X I got is 5G capable, and I wasn't connected to the Nighthawk's 5G network.
Maybe it was down to the order in which things started. I have seen this after a power cut. The modem just connects too late, after the router has kicked in.
After a power cut be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
