January 31, 20233 yr Hello, hoping someone can help me with this. I've installed a HG612 fibre modem and connected it via ethernet cable to a NightHawk R8000 router. All my devices can access the server and internet via LAN but the server does not connect to the internet. I tried the DNS settings and default gateway address but couldn't figure it out.

February 5, 20233 yr Community Expert Are you sure your server has the correct date and time? Those diagnostics are several days old according to timestamps
February 5, 20233 yr Author Solution They were correct at time of posting, now a few days old. Trial and error has resolved the issue, my default gateway was set to the modem and not the router. 🙄
February 6, 20233 yr Community Expert Best approach is to let all devices on your LAN use DHCP, then for any that need fixed IP address, reserve that IP by MAC address in the router. That way everything is managed in the one place that really matters.
