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

I unplugged my router yesterday because it said it wasn’t charging for battery longevity. Plugged back in and now won’t turn on at all

It turned back on after I took the battery out and left it out for a while thanks for the help

Netgear Router: Do I hook OnHub before Netgear router?

Fri, 20 Jan 2017 11:17:20 -0700

I have a Google OnHub router

and a Netgear Nighthawk x10 router.

I have connected them up with

the Onhub as the primary device and Netgear as secondary.

I have also reversed it as

from Modem to Netgear then to Onhub.

In Reno Nevada using Charter Business plan

I get about 65 Mbps download and 5Mbps upload

using Speakeasy Speed test on both arrangements.

Each of the company's recommend I hook up theirs first.

Is one router limiting the performance of the other using them in any particular order?
