If it works, you'll have very good evidence that the ONT's and router's Ethernet MACs don't "like each other.(*)" And you may have a reasonable workaround that doesn't involve sticking another router in the network. But its software department is well below par. I can honestly say Netgear hardware specs are reasonably good on those that I tested including R7000 and Orbi. I have done nearly 20 flashings at this point I am also a Beta tester for several of Netgear products. A switch can isolate Ethernet MAC incompatibilities. I acquired a non-working and cheap Netgear R8500-NAS (made in Vietnam, 272-12473-02). Of course, don't plug anything else into it. If the cables are fine, you could try putting a switch between the ONT and Nighthawk. You'd be amazed at how often issues like this turn out to be a bad cable that was assumed to be fine. Make sure you test with different Ethernet cables, just in case there is something odd with one of your cables. It's clear the Ethernet link is the issue. ![]() It's been this way for a few years, so that Nighthawk post for 2017 was probably written before Verizon improved their system. You can simply unplug one router and plug in another and Verizon's system now handles it nicely. Further, the need to do a release when swapping routers is no longer needed. If you can't get an Ethernet link, the router can't pull an IP address. The DHCP release/renew process has nothing to do with this issue. ![]()
