Hi. I have a
Cox panoramic Wi-Fi modem
ASUS RT-AC86U Router
I actually got it working (once), kind of.
Here's the steps I did to get it to work the first time.
From then on, the WAN light would always be red, no matter how many times I reset everything, the order I booted everything up, or whatever.
I have internet access only to router.asus.com, which is what 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 redirect to when my desktop is plugged into the router.
When I set up the new Wi-Fi network from the second time onwards, ASUS can't auto-detect my connection type. Instead, I have to manually tell them that my connection is automatic IP.
When I go to router.asus.com, I can see that there is only one device connected: my desktop.
Also, router.asus.com tells me that my ISP's DHCP does not function properly.
I've looked up how to fix this, but I can't seem to figure it out.
Thank you.

Here's the steps I did to get it to work the first time.
- Turned modem to bridge mode
- Unplugged modem
- Connected modem to WAN port of router
- Turned on modem
- Turned on router, (WAN light is red)
- Ignored the red light
- Went to router.asus.com
- Clicked 'create new network'
- WAN light turned white as ASUS auto-detected my connection type: automatic IP
- ASUS detected that I needed to download new firmware, so I let them
- finished setting up my network
- entered in a password that was over 16 characters for my router account
- Wi-Fi now works, but now I can't login to my router account at router.asus.com
