The first 6 minutes of this video helped me solve a problem that being on the phone with netgear for 3 hours couldn't. Thanks
This is THE best youtube video on how to set up a Netgear router. Simple and to the point. THANK YOU!
Except no one resets or factory resets a brand new Netgear router. Why in God's name is the guy factory resetting the router!!?? Did he buy it stolen?
@@parkerbohnn who cares? It works
@@michelleprice3010 Obviously he bought it either used or hot meaning it was sold as stolen. No one on God's green Earth factory resets a router when its brand new.
@@parkerbohnn well I did and it worked lol
@@parkerbohnn It seems you are jealous!
I may not live next to this guy but Thanks for the password!
😂😂😂😂
Wtf🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hes gonna kick ur ass
Awesome neighbor
Yea I'm sure he's so dumb not to change it after posting vid. Smdh brilliant comment
This is greet to hear,small steps for big room for development on Network carrier.
You get limited time offer of 6 month or even up to a year depending on how loyal of a customer you are to your network provider, {josephbergg@gmail.com} for your bill payment and new phones with your verizon,AT&T and sprint account with Joseph Berg retail partnership store
I have experienced different faults from my verizon postpaid account but,i feel verizon just setup shop to rip me and other customers,i have met my foe with verizon,my clear opinion about them are bad and see myself not using them,except i can get the help i need with resolving the issues i have with them with my verizon unlimited postpaid account.
There are other(more Affordable)cell phone plans that’s on the verizon,AT&T and sprint network,And they all offers good 5G,which you can get also with your verizon,AT&T,and sprint unlimited plans.
I used to be in that category of verizon screwed over customer before, this is without a doubt common, however I met a someone who was able to assist me, I suppose It has some thing to work along the initial limit that's placed concerning the account when it was first made,he defined to me what was wrong and even helped me upgrade, at a pretty less expensive rate, it took him much less than an hour to clear up the problem, here is his e mail {josephbergg@gmail.com}. though do counsel him, he would possibly be capable to assist you
Thanks for the replies . I switched from prepaid mobile service to Verizon With Same insurance as my old prepaid carrier for $ 45 a Month unlimited . I obtained a $ 100 visa gift card plus free cable on my Smartphone free flex free peacock and a free streaming for the cable . I turned into looking at other mobile services, however the package deal Verizon gave me with the Help of Joseph is one of a kind....
I like how he just goes through every possible thing just to look at it. I do the exact same thing
Nicely done. Thank you. I'm online! Tip for everyone. Every so often take a small soft brush and be sure all of the air vents are clean. Pressurized air is great. This will keep the router as cool as possible and can add years to the life of the router.
Thank you!!! My bf was having issues with connecting it to the internet and was getting frustrated. I looked up the router on YT and came across your video. We did it your way and it worked!!! Thanks for the video!! Very helpful!!!
BRO!! You posted this back in 2018 and I just ran into this issue now. You would have thought that my ISP would have an idea on this problem since I am sure that it happens a lot. But, thanks to you I was able to fix it and get up an running in no time. Thanks much!!!
Thank you very much for your help. My husband is out of town and I had no one to help me connect the new router and my kids are starting online school tomorrow. It's my first time doing something like this and thanks to your video, I just followed your steps and Voilaaaa!!!!
Man your a life saver. I’m just glad I found this video 20 minutes into headaches and not hours.
Thanks bro, saved my family from the doom of no WiFi
I just bought it and seriously noticed how much faster it is while using my iPad and phone ! 👍
Does the router have to stay connected to your modem the whole time
Godsent! I just moved and my router wasn't connecting to the internet and I was troubleshooting for a couple of HOURS without avail and then I came across your video and got it fixed in 2 minutes...
I was close to bite the bullet and buy a new router, so you saved me some money!
My siblings took 3hr trying to get the internet to connect. Our problem was the Mac address and your spoofed method really helped us. At first, the internet button was still amber so I reset the router one more time and it fixed the issue. Thank you so much.
Thank you for showing us the reset procedure. Normally I used the 30-30-30 method but it looks like this router don't need it
Worked like a charm! MAC address clone👍 Thank you so much🙏
More videos need to be concise and straight to the point like this. Thank you.
thank you!
Thanks so much you have no idea how much this video has helped me out especially in these times and as a college student
This video is excellent for those of us who have never cloned Mac addresses or set up a router before! Thank you! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
@Home Network Central After reading some of these "questions", and your calm responses, I HAD to give you a like! 👍
Dude used this in 10/24/2020 and it worked thank man really never new i had to do this good stuff man appreciate it God Bless bro !!!
Hi good job that's netgear company to make a video how to setup the router, they should pay you for that excellent show and tell work keep it up
Thx bro spoofed worked nicely.
Awesome! How are you enjoying the router so far?
Hey I tried the spoofed, and it didn't work for me 😓 any other way to get the internet connection.
Thanks
I just got this router today, and it is by far the best router I personally have ever owned. 👍
Matthew Clark I’ve plugged it through a BT router and it’s been shit :(
What if your just try to reconnect your route to a new modem. I updated my mondem and now my night hawk dosen't want to connect to internet. But I can hook up straight to my computer. Help!
Antoinette Gonzales just break it
I’ve tied this three times now
Adrian, I followed the steps a few times as well with no luck. Then I unplugged the modem for 20 seconds and when I plugged it back in, the router connected to the internet. Hope it helps.
@@LANTONIOR80 what if we don't have a modem
shadow killa then you have to call your Internet service provider. The nighthawk only works as an add-on to an internet modem (it’s a router only). Netgear does make modems that also double as a router.
Can I use this router without a modem?
Sumeet Gavade no
Thank you
You save me alot of time. Man I love you. I was PUT on hold with Ethernet customer service. Man Thank you.
BRO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HELP I LOVE YOU MAN!!!!! KEEP DOING GOOD!
I haven't tried it yet but I'm sure you just saved me a lot of stress 😅
If you input the old mac address, say from your Verizon modem/router and the light does not turn white; go back and select Use Computer Mac address and click apply. That worked for me.
Perfect - I just purchased AC1900 R6900. Using Netgear instructions, I couldn't connect to internet coming from fiber optic modem. This was a simple guide and solved my issue! Thanks. (Note: It was also necessary on the internet setup screen to click the buttons allowing the ISP to assign the Internet IP address, and the Domain Server address. Factory default was set to static address.)
Glad it worked out! Also thank you for the extra info to help the rest of us out!
Where’s the IP address I tried this and mine still won’t connect to the internet I have to manually type in the up address where it says (use these dns servers) then?
Your Teleportation effects were fking mind-blowing! Thanks for the throrough setup steps.
Thank you so much! I got a new router cause my old one provided weak connectivity and I don’t think I needed to do a MAC address clone, but I did it anyways. All of my devices are now connected to WiFi. Hopefully, my Netgear Nighthawk AC2300 Smart Wifi Router provides a stronger connection and better download speeds. Your instructions are clear and to the point. Keep it up.
You put the MAC address from the new router box MAC address stricker shown . Put that into the setting of your new router? Cause I had Ac1750 previous but Best Buy protection exchange for the AC1900 cause firmware update interrupted
So idk if the Mac I have Right now in routerlogin is from my old router Or that the Mac that should be Default
You are a life saver!!!
Thanks so much! Your video helped me get connected!
Appreciate such a simple and to the point type of video
When it comes to the MAC address can it be the MAC addresss of a current router
No the old mac first than the new mac ok sammy
Thank you good sir, I appreciate your assistance.
If this did not work, use the computer max address and accept! This worked for me.
MAC spoofing worked. Thank you for the detailed video!!
When I tell you I’m so thankful for you bro thx so much 😊
Thanks Eric. I am getting ready to set up my new Netgear ac2600 and I have very nervous about it. Your video is the clearest and easiest to understand that I have found. Thanks again. Great video. I subscribed.
Jeez why do they make the routers so user-hostile? Thank s for tip brother I'll try it
Good video, super fast and ease.
thanks..
Thank you man helped me out a lot the phone company said the nighthawk was messed up they need to hire you lol
I gotten a nighthawk 2g Internet for my birthday
:)
So beautiful! Not just the usual plastic white boxy boi...
I bought this router from someone, reset it to factory. . Turned off all my devices. . unplugged modem, switched out routers, hooked this one up, went through and set up as new, and it worked. There is no need for mac address spoofing.
Hey Eric thanks a bunch from another Eric .CA....I’ve got a Mac desktop tried for 2 days to get it connected...yikes..in the end followed you install instructions did not have a MAC address from a previous router so I used the MAC address of the Mac Mini ..voila lights tuned from orange to blue ...I was in ..
👍👍👍..you the man.
Thanks, Eric! Glad I was able to help!
Awesome instructions (i.e., very clear and easy to understand)! Thank you for making this video.
This video is very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you! I needed to reconnect my router and nobody would help every app and phone number gets you to some guy with hindu accent that wants to get money from you. I did what you indicate and it worked! Tks!
Thank you for this video! Helped me out a lot
Glad it helped!
figured it out, realler helpful video. needed to get to the routerlogin.
What if I still don't have connection? :'(
Go in on your computer
@@2recklezzfouru798 I gave up on it and sold it back 😂
When you connected your router to your computer I got lost. I have a MacBook at well it doesn’t have that port but I do have a USB port. Could I still connect the router to my MacBook with the USB cord. Or would I need a adaptor.
Do I need to use MAC address from existing router? I’m not changing out the router. I’m connecting Ethernet cable from router to the nighthawk. So do I need the MAC address from the main router?
Are you plugging your router into someone else's router to get internet from them?
Hi, may I know why you prefer to enter your old Mac address? (of your old router)? What is the benefit of it? Would I be better to use the new R7000 MAC address?
Thanks for the help
Mine didn't get connected after the update still
Most Macbooks no longer have the ethernet port. Can the USB 2.0 port be used?
What if you never had a router before and this is your first then what do you do?
Thank you so much I wish I could've at least tipped you like $10k! Lol! Now I feel confident installing the new netgear I purchased. Once again thank you for your generous video..
Thank you for the kind words. $10k tips are always welcome :D
My internet port seems to not work when I load up the genie it says connect to Ethernet make sure cables are input it is but shows it’s not
Heading to the store to pick one up is there a diff set up if ur just replacing ur old one
O sorry just heard it thanks
How was it? Are you able to play games while others are streaming?
@@shelbylaguerre6486 i have verison dsl im tryin to get a modem/router i bought the r2300p i think it was but i brought it back
@@shelbylaguerre6486 i wanted a good one for my ps4 pro with my vr
@@newwavepressure6478 so you didn't buy the router in the vid? cuz you didnt answer any of my questions
Hi . Question. I have a wirles hot spot only. Can I conect mi nighthawk router? To the wireless hot spot? Please help.
Super helpful video mate.
Hey some of you may need to call your service provider and give them the MAC address on your modem if you are switching to a new modem as well as a new router at the same time.
This saved me 😩 thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you. This helped me.
So my router only has the orange power light on how do I fix it??
I got this from the Netgear website:
When the router is turned on, the Power LED lights amber for about 20 seconds and then lights white. If the LED does not light white, the router has a problem.
If the Power LED is still amber one minute after you turn on power to the router, do the following:
Turn off the power and then turn it back on to see if the router recovers.
Press and hold the Reset button to return the router to its factory settings.
If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem. Contact technical support at www.netgear.com/support.
I have a modem but it’s all the way downstairs but I have a router upstairs?
Can you run a cable between them?
Hopefully you enabled smart connect...it will eliminate having 2 SSID names
my question was... are all the lights supposed to be blinking? I did the reset but the last light will not come on
Superb, so helpful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Awesome job man, thank you! Helped me out
Peace
Thank you for the kind words. I hope the router works well for you!
Thank you so much for this video
Will this be compatible with the Spectrum modem router? For wifi6 Also wanted to ask what’s a good modem compatible with Spectrum
Bro your network info it’s in the video
Mate - you are a legend! very good video
Thanks a lot!
Major help! Thanks so much!
YOU TAUGHT ME A LOT! thank you so much, dude! You are fucking amazing! You got my vote if you run in 2024!
My Nintendo switch unable to conect everything conectes
Get the LAN adapter and connect it to the router.
I have Xfinity for internet. What should I do if I buy this NightHawk Modem/Router?
I also have Xfinity. You should be able to screw that black coax cable in and plug the power in and for me at all just worked from there.
Home Network Central ok
This vid helped so much thanks
Does the netgear nighthawk need to be away from the main router or doesn't matter?
You saved the day!
Thank you so much for the help🥰
Very informative thanks bro!
I had a router and talked to my ISP who said to disconnect that router and use the modem they gave me as the router. So do I go with "Computer MAC address?"
Excellent teaching style both for this video but also the video linking 2 modems together. Thank You.
So it worked! I’d like to understand how uses my old routers MAC address worked though.
Your ISP grabs your devices MAC address and uses it to identify you as their customer. You could also just call them and tell them you got a new router. They can reset it so you don't have to use MAC cloning. Either way works.
I just got it few months, but first 2 weeks is working fine. After that every few days it keep disconnected by itself and slower. I have to power off then on again to make it work. Some how that you can helps. Thank you
Lifesaver! Thanks for the information
Happy to help!
Thanks for the help man
How do you make this router a extender or a bridge because I get double nat on my xbox.
Where is the coxial outlet I need for my Xfinity cable?
Thank you I love-you so much god bless I was playing fortnite and then it stoped but now thank you my internet but now it is working
Great video. Question I have would be how to add spectrum voice to a netgear router. Thanks
So this thing has to be hard lined to the internet?
