I use Windows 10 computer connected to my R7900P with ethernet and wirelessly. While the wireless is fine my ethernet does not connect to the internet. It says Unidentified network.

What Firmware version is currently loaded?What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? What CAT# lan cable are you using between the router and this PC? CAT6 is recommended. Ensure the ethernet drivers are up to date on the pc as well. Does a different PC experience same issue? Have you powered OFF the ISP modem, router and this PC for 1 minute then back on in the following sequence? Modem, Router then PC? Is the LED on the router ON when the ethernet pc is connected to the ethernet port on the router?

The PC that I was working on regarding this issue has died so thank you for your reply but for now this is a mute issue.

I have the same issue as described here. I have the same issue with my Laptop and Desktop. R7900 Connected through ethernet to am R6300 then from the R6300 to my PC. It used to work up until a couple of weeks ago. I have not initiated any changes

So remove the R6300 from between the R7900 and your PC? Your replies are not understandable. You say the problem went away and now your have another problem?

Sorry, I had worked on this issue, and in the middle of that, I had to reinstall Win10 so that computer became inoperable. I have the R6300 connected to the R7000 using Ethernet to extend the wireless range. The R7900 is connected to a Cable Modem out to the Internet.
