Dude, you nailed it for me!!! 2 weeks ago, my home WiFi stopped working with my xfinity modem and I reset, troubleshoot, power cycled it, but only the 3 lights came up and I have searched for videos on how to fix the modem, but every other person out there is talking jack about how to connect routers and modems or expanding your home WiFi signals and all that mumbo jumbo, yet nobody talked about what to do when your xfinity modem has just the power, us/ds and online lights come one without the WiFi light blinking or coming on,,,,on the computer, it shows you are connected to the network, but does not show that you are connected to the internet. This video makes me understand that the router inside my modem went bad, and need external modem!!! Thank you soooo much for making this video!!
Subscribed for my future need and found yours to be the "best" detailed on how to establish a router. I got it!! Have you done a video on how to setup a wireless printer, that is my other need that I am not totally sure of. Thank you
so i went to spectrum and seems like i will only have ethernet, does this work for me if i want to have wifi? b/c i dont even have a desktop computer and i dont want to connect my laptop every time i want to search something so does this work? they told me to buy something but they didn't said any specific names
So Im in the process of turning the storage unit that I rent into mancave. I have everything I need in there. Couch, lazy boy, space heater, flat screen, xbox, microwave, mini fridge, etc. Only thing im missing is the internet because it doesnt have any coaxial or ethernet outlets. Any alternatives to this problem?
You have to subscribe to an internet provider and setup a plan with them. The provider will most likely sell/rent/give you their gateway device which includes almost always includes a modem, router, and wi-fi in one unit. Depending on your provider and/or service, you may be able to buy your own equipment.
I have a question. I'm trying to set up a wifi connection cause I just purchased a smart tv. How do you connect this router to a pc too? I have my pc downstairs on my desk and the smart tv is upstairs?
With Smart TVs, all you have to do is worry about setting up WiFi. Because once that is done, you can go into your menu or settings on your smart TV and you can just connect to the WiFi. It's just like connecting to WiFi on your phone. You just go into the settings and go to WiFi
What if everything is connected and the LED is still red/orange on the modem? I plugged the new ether cable and kept the same coax cable. I tried using the new one and nothing. The internet LED on the front was white/clear, which is how it is suppose to look like. But the LED on the ethernet (the back) is still orange/red. I'm frustrated at this point.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to get a modem with the router. However some routers are made today without the need of a modem. If you don't want to use a modem, I would do some research online to find routers that don't require a modem. But most cases, you would need a modem.
How were you able to turn off the wifi setting on your modem? I sign into my IP but it seems to have it blocked or something. I enable it the page refreshed and it doesn't do anything. Did you have that issue with your modem?
@@youngboythecartoon1641 Yessir. The router will create a WiFi network that you and your family can all use. And routers are what you want for gaming so you can connect to the internet with either an ethernet cable or through your WiFi
Thank You for this video cause I am totally new to the internet jargon and setting up stuff. Your video helped me to understand how to set up my router when my own internet company wanted to charge me to set it up but when the guy came out to set it up,the guy was no help at all!! After every thing was plugged in/up, he told me that was all that had to be done. He didn't even go on my computer to set up my router info. I was so ticked after seeing your video and I called my internet company and complained about the guy. I hope they fire him. Thank you again for your help.
No you don't. You can set up your WiFi, to use for your LAN network. If you just need a tiny bit of Internet. Tethering your cell phone to act as your internet provider.
i said this b/c im myself, going to post INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS showing how to most easily do JUST THIS...get a router, and in 10 mins, have it connected and wirelessly done....and all set ready to go....hes BOORRRINNGGG
Unfortunately this happened to me to because if you have a Xfinity router all ready and you try to use that as a modem that wont work for it I would recommend getting a Netgear Modem and using that to hook up to your router and then you will have to look up a video or call your service provider and tell them that you have a new router and they will help you set it.
Not the best place for your router, also, if you already have wifi seeing how that's a two in one not just a modem. That will cause the two networks to conflict with one another, you would need to actually disable the 2g and 5h on the two in one before adding a standalone router.
Darren Huynh the cable modem sometimes has WiFi but not up to speeds of 2019 and if you have a large family slow speeds ....so you buy a newer router and basically piggyback using a newer router that can manage the traffic and provide better speeds
you need an ETHERNET CORD...the yellow cord similar to a phone cord is that what you meant? I CAN have you up and running in 10 minutes and not even a 5 step process....let me know
I got a problem my WiFi doesn’t work when I try to go to some sits it says file not directory can’t download nothing on my phone but I can play online like RUclips I need help
dont MOST PEOPLE, NOW in december of 2017- HAVE THE ROUTER/MODEM IN 1 ? i didnt think anyone wanting to learn this would want to have extra confusion, not to mention an educational video showing how to do this....THE OLD AND HARD WAY.....JUST SAYING
itsjus me I don't know if your Dad or Mom is using your account, or it's just you. But I prefer the Modem and Router being connected in a cable. It is not old, it still works perfectly. And the 2 in 1 router and modem fails sometimes. I doubt you can make a better video, kid.
I prefer the two router and modem separate. I like to keep my router settings if I ever switch my provider. You said you where going to make a video? Where is it I would like to see it.
Jaymie Lynnn wireless internet. Router in one room while you in another room providing you with internet without having cables connected to your device
Bad idea you need to get your wireless router off the floor. Dude cell phone towers are towers for a reason I bet your wireless sucks move you're wireless router to the first floor and as high as you can get it run a cat5 from your modem to the wireless router upstairs is it a house with cat 5 in the walls or cat 3 for phone service I would use a couple pairs of that to get my ethernet connection rookies lol

Can I do this to a gaming router separately? I have an xfinity modem and I want to get a gaming router can I do this?
Fifth grade English wow what a nice walk through..and one handed too!!!
I will take this as a compliment, thank you. I tried to explain as simple as possible so all ages can understand!
Thx dude I found the problem I did and now the internet is back up
I have a question can I just buy like a modem and pick up a Xfinity signal ensign into the whole prepaid Internet would that work?

Does the storage unit company offer any type of internet?
@@AppleDeviceToday No they dont.
Did you use a coaxial cable on the modem? What is the name of the modem
brother works out of the coverage area of the united states here in brazil i can use cox panoramic wifi modem?
Thank you so much I learned a lot from you
So to set up wireless WiFi all I need is a modem and router? How will I get billed every month

That modem is a gateway it has a 2.4 and 5 band already built inn, so why are you hooking up a router to it?
Thank you for this video. Super helpful and super easy to follow. I really appreciate you taking the time to help us newbies!
No problem, glad I was of help!
HawkyT just curious to why you need a router if you have a modem? I just can't figure it out? Is it like an optional type deal.
@@AppleDeviceToday how do this if my router has optic fiber port instead of internet WAN port?

Ya I am trying too get my New Charter Spectrum Modem hooked up.
What if everything is connected and the LED is still red/orange on the modem?
I plugged the new ether cable and kept the same coax cable. I tried using the new one and nothing.
The internet LED on the front was white/clear, which is how it is suppose to look like. But the LED on the ethernet (the back) is still orange/red.
I'm frustrated at this point.
if i’m buying a router do i have to have a modem to get lan cable connection?

HawkyT thanks for replying have a wonderful day ❤️
Wouldn’t it be better to have router in a clutter free area higher off the ground?
Is this vid about how to setup WI-FI?
You didn’t really show where all the cables go. It’s been awhile since I’ve had to buy one. Since losing my house.
How were you able to turn off the wifi setting on your modem? I sign into my IP but it seems to have it blocked or something. I enable it the page refreshed and it doesn't do anything. Did you have that issue with your modem?
Thanks!
I Already Have Internet with my provider Comcast xfinity Does they charge extra For useing a router ?
No they should not! Routers generally do not come up on internet bills.
@@AppleDeviceToday Are that router good for gaming online/ live streaming ?
My router and modem can my family be on the the modem And I be on the router can you do it they way ?
@@youngboythecartoon1641 Yessir. The router will create a WiFi network that you and your family can all use. And routers are what you want for gaming so you can connect to the internet with either an ethernet cable or through your WiFi
How is it wireless if your using the ethernet cable to connect it to the modem?
Provides wireless internet you can use anywhere in the house without cables.
Jesus Christ just have a guy come out and do it for you...
Can you still play online gaming that way via PlayStation or Xbox?

How to make rg 45 to rj 11 cable
Do you need a cable box or computer to get WiFi from the router.
The internet signal has to come from somewhere before it can be cast out via Wifi
No you don't. You can set up your WiFi, to use for your LAN network. If you just need a tiny bit of Internet. Tethering your cell phone to act as your internet provider.
The Arris router doubles as a modem and router!
@Zurje Mhm, you dont need a modem

Is that Arris 2472 a good modem?
It's weird how people are saying g that the modem alone works as a router. Is that true. I bought a belkin router for nothing.
If you have a wifi router, no need to get a modem, the router has both, I use only a router and it works fine without a modem
Don’t forget to bridge mode that modem router combo. You DO NOT want double NAT
RedLight GreenArrow what is double nat?
Pixieut If you do not know what double NAT is, you shouldn’t be doing this. It’s where you’re pretty much behind two routers!
Is this work for TV,Phone,PS4?
its a router, it should work for evrything on the internet
Is it necessary to plug the Ethernet cable into the router and the modem?
Yes
Can you disconnect the modem afterwards or no
No
Very helpful thank you.
how do u reset
Reset what exactly?
Lol the Cox Cable box had a WiFi code on the bottom u don't need to hook it up to another WiFi box to get the wifi
You are a swell guy😁
very good
Can u use netgearAC750 with century link internet
Yes
Yes, if you have an all in one put the CL modem in transparent mode
I would disable wifi from the arris so it doesn't interfere with the linksys.
I don't know why you need the extra router since the the 1st one is router & moderm combination already.
Darren Huynh the cable modem sometimes has WiFi but not up to speeds of 2019 and if you have a large family slow speeds ....so you buy a newer router and basically piggyback using a newer router that can manage the traffic and provide better speeds
