Netgear Router: Netgear CAX30 Cablemodem/router stopped working

Tue, 21 Feb 2023 12:53:53 -0700

I have a 14 month old Netgear CAX30 Cablemodem/router combo that recently locked up. Only the ethernet lights remain lit. All the other light on the front panel are dark (power, LAN, 2.4, 5,g, , etc). I have attempted a reset multiple times, removed the power multiple times for 24+ hours.

When I plug the power back in, all that happens is the white ethernet lights (1-4) come on (even if nothing is plugged in) but nothing else happens. It does not go through a startup routine and it is not broadcasting a default wifi. I cannot access the unit via the ip address and it does not register with Spectrum (cable provider)

Is this unit "bricked" or is it repairable/recoverable?

Thank you for your input

Netgear Router: What's going on with my Netgear WNDR3300 router?

Tue, 03 May 2022 05:59:04 -0700

Ok I have a fully updated Netgear Router WNDR3300.

My problem started last night when for no reason it stopped working.

So since I have a very good understanding of tech I tried to fix it with no results.

When I attempt to login to the router wirelessly via:192.168.1.2 I get text that says "IT WORKS!" and nothing else.

When I plug the router in via Ethernet and try to login I get the same page. The problem with ethernet is that the computer will not recognize the router is connected PC & Mac.

I tried to hard reset it by holding down the "reset button" for 10 seconds and also 30 seconds and 1 minute.

I also unplugged it and plugged it back in.

I am quite positive this is the result of malicious software so if anyone has any ideas on what to do I would appreciate it.

I have not been able to find any info on this on google or any forums I have been on.

Netgear Router: Wifi randomly turns off

Sat, 26 Mar 2022 13:09:56 -0700

So my parents recently got a nighthawk wifi six router (I believe the RAX200). For the most part it runs fine, but randomly the signal will drop.

I’ve already tried updating the firmware, and I’ve already reset it once. They all resolve the issue for a a while, but it does comeback every now and then.

It doesn’t happen that often, but since my parents are using it for their business, they don’t want to risk it dropping during work hours.

Can you please let me know how to reset the netgear WGR 614v9 manually without reset button?
