Hello
I'm the "network administrator" for our home. I set up a Netgear R6230 router with 3 access points around the house and it's been running smoothly for years. I bought a second R6230 as a backup and, to the best of my limited knowledge/abilities, configured it identically to the original. But when I switch them out, there is no data throughput with the second router, either on wifi or ethernet. I tried forgetting the network in wifi settings (Mac OS 14.6.1) and logging back in. I'm connecting with the wifi network, but, again, no data coming through from the internet. Only thing I can think of is the second router is defective. Is there something I'm missing? Probably. If so, please let me know.
Thanks as always,
Howie B
