Yeah that's what I figured, guess I was just confused by the previous suggestion, because it seemed to imply keeping the router I'm currently renting from Spectrum plus using my own... which until I potentially invest in a new one is just a 2010 model. Now while it worked fine at our previous...

Hmm, I guess if I do end up investing in my own newer router-- in which case I might just try to get the same model that my friend has-- I may try that, although in all likelihood I'd likely end up returning their router a month later after I'd had the chance to test 'em out together... as...

Sorry about the delayed reply here; so just to clarify, you're suggesting getting my own router AND keeping Spectrum's? As in just to test/compare them? Because I am paying like $5/mo. to rent this one from Spectrum, so if I were to buy my own, I'm not sure why I'd want to keep theirs...

Well that's just it, its manual lists as it as a Spectrum Wifi 6 Router with their own name on it (though in very small print it does list SAX1V1S, I see from the 2nd link that there's also a SAX1V1R & SAX1V1K model)...

Thanks a ton to you both for chiming in (and my apologies for the delay in noticing/responding, I'd given up getting any more insight, but this is EXACTLY the kind of info/theorizing that I'd been looking for... Anyway, checking my Wifi using my current smartphone, I see that it's a 5GHZ WPA2...

Appreciate you chiming in with the router info. Yeah coincidentally I compared our older personal Netgear N300 router (which this phone worked on at some point) with our current Spectrum WiFi Router 6 that we're renting from them (and which hasn't worked at all). The Netgear is labeled as being...

Hmm, now I seem to have a similar problem with the older Droid, and it seems to be related to the carrier (which is odd, because I have other phones that I'm no longer getting cellular network service on where I switched them out for a newer phone-- and some which I left that carrier...

Editing down the longer answer I originally had here: Only physical damage is a single crack to its screen, which I'd like to think wouldn't have affected the hardware? I've spoken to at least one place that suggested that I call my ISP/Spectrum to see if they can troubleshoot it, since...

Tried rebooting in Safe Mode, still came up as "You are offline/ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED" as soon as I opened the browser. I'll select our Wifi, enter the PW, it'll say "Saved," but while I'm watching, a few seconds later it'll change to "Disabled" (whereas if it does seem to be working/saving...

I have an old 2017 Android phone (Moto E4 Plus for Boost Mobile, who I've since left) that for whatever reason won’t connect to MY home Wifi network. • I brought it over to a buddy’s house (who uses Spectrum internet like me), and it got on his Wifi and was surfing the web right away. • I even...

Re: Wifi problems: how to determine DNS’s & Network Prefix Length?? Thank you for chiming in!! Anyway as far as router options are concerned, I did already try resetting my existing Spectrum one— that was one of the earliest possibilities I considered— without any change. Based on the...

Ha, you were great amigo, and I am incredibly grateful… yes, unfortunately there are a number of variables/complications to this mystery, involving hardware, software, and settings (and as you mentioned w/ the WPS, internet/wifi etc. is certainly evolving from year to year). Anyway yeah, I...

Hello and thanks v. much for your reply, and insight! Anyway fortunately YES, this is my/our home internet connection, w/ a router & modem that we've been borrowing/renting from the cable company since we moved into this rental apt. a few months back (and yes, I know I should probably buy one...

So the backstory to that question is, I recently charged/turned on an old smartphone from 2017 (Moto E4 Plus running Nougat/7.1.1) whose carrier I’ve since left, and noticed that it has a treasure trove of old photos/videos on its MicroSD card. Problem is? ONLY this phone seems to recognize...
