kenny Reel Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 So my isp came out today cause i wasn't getting my full speeds an it was just a cable issue but the guy replaced the modem instead an before he did that both my modem an router was perfectly fine just not gettting the speeds cause of a faulty cable but he decided to replace the modem an when he did that an plugged it into the router all the sudden the router can't connect to the internet but when i plug it from my modem to PC there is internet, i tried rebooting the router a few times, i even factory reset it an still won't connect to the internet, so i have no clue whats going on, the guy did more harm than good it seems when it was just a faulty ethernet cable that i literally told him that needed to be replaced so if someone could help me figure out why it won't connect that would be amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 6, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 6, 2021 Unplug the router from power for 10 minutes, while you're doing that reboot the modem, plug in the R2, wait 2 minutes then connect and access the interface, see if you have internet. If not check the WAN IP on the System Information page and see if it has one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 6, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 6, 2021 Are you able to access the modem interface? If so I don't think there are many options you can change but there is one called Energy Efficient Ethernet I believe, disable that then reboot the R2 and see if you get internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 11, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 11, 2021 Showing it as connected to the modem there so they recognize each other - the cable is limited to 100Mbps so I would recommend you switch that out otherwise any device connected to the R2 would be restricted to that speed. Can you provide a screenshot of the System Information page please? Also can you do a Connection Benchmark test and post the results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says WAN IP disconnected, when I have the Ethernet also plugged in from my router to PC it says no internet access also with not letting my house have wifi. When I called spectrum tech they even told me it’s not reading the modem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 12, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 12, 2021 Glad to hear that! So as mentioned, whatever cable you're using to connect the R2 to the modem is limited to 100Mbps. If it's Cat 6 then it may be faulty and you should replace it with another, then it should be resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re both brand new cables an both of them from the modem to pc are getting 400/20 so they’re working perfectly fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 12, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 12, 2021 Take the one from the LAN port on the R2 and connect the R2 to the modem with that one, then do a Connection Benchmark on the R2 does it go over 100?
