Hey, my Dlink DIR-825 isn't letting me get on the internet.
I just got a new cable/internet provider (I switched from Comcast to WOW) and installed a new modem. The problem is, my router doesn't seem to be connecting properly with it or something of the sort. I have it plugged in correctly, even swapped around ethernet cables and I can't get a working wifi connection or even an ethernet connection through the router. I'm currently using my desktop plugged into the modem (Arris TG862) itself which is working normally.
The blue lights in the front indicate that it has both a connection to the internet and wifi.
Even the laptops and tablets indicate that there is a strong signal (all 5 bars when moved close to the router) but no matter what it either says "limited" or "no internet access"
This is pretty urgent, so I'd really appreciate a response.
Thanks for your time.
