    Hello. My Newifi router does not find the internet when there are power failures in my home or when I reboot the Newifi router. If I connect a laptop directly to the modem using a wired connection, I do HAVE internet from the modem. In fact, both the modem and router have Internet (globe) LEDs working, but end devices claim there is no Internet (including Wifi devices and Wired devices).

    I’ve tried power-cycling the modem and router in different order, but that doesn’t solve the problem. The only way I can solve the problem is by disconnecting all the ethernet cables, power-cycling the modem and router, and then connecting the single ethernet cable between the modem and router. For some reason that approach has worked.

    The impact is that my home security and surveillance cameras are useless when the Internet doesn’t come back up automatically. Since I may be travelling, I cannot fix the connection until I am physically back home. Please advise on how we can troubleshoot and fix this. Thanks.

    This might be an ethernet configuration problem. Does your router have setting for speed, duplex, etc. If so, try setting it to Auto. Also, while it makes no sense, possibly try another Ethernet cable just to be sure.

    Presumably you may have solved this already, but it would be great if you share the solution (if you still remember LOL).

    Thanks. No I never solved the problem. PCWRT Support was quick to help in the past, but somehow not on this post. I’ll look into see if there are any modem handshaking settings.

    @trust_in_wrt Sorry we missed your post. Do you still have the problem? Is your modem a cable modem?

    I tested powering down the modem and router several times today including disconnecting all their data connection cables as well. Power-up restored connectivity so things seem okay now. Yes, I use a cable modem — Motorola SurfBoard model SB6141. Are there any settings that I should adjust?
