Re: Can't get an ethernet connection in a room with only coax

said by More Fiber:

When the primary router is connected, which connection type is it using?

I have a WAN DHCP connection on the primary router. The primary router shows that the PPPoE WAN connection is disabled.

Yes, I did a reset to factory settings on the secondary router with each of several attempts. After the reset I get the orange Internet indicator when coax is connected. When I disable PPPoE on the secondary router then there is no Internet indicator light but the primary router's Internet indicator goes orange and the Broadband Connection status changes to "Waiting for DHCP Lease".

As I mentioned in my first posts, the primary and secondary routers have different firmware. Would you suggest trying both with 40.20.1? Or, would the older version be better?
