Hello all, Can I configure the USG Flex to be my primary router in my home network? Would be modem to USG to WAP, with LAN devices also coming off USG via Cat6. How would I set this up? When I plug USG into modem I get no internet connection.

    Hi @Pinknots ,

    Based on your description, we understand your network setup as below, and follows a common topology. You can certainly use the USG Flex as your primary router.

    To resolve this, please try these steps:

    • Verify that your USG FLEX 100H's WAN settings match your previous router's configuration
    • Alternatively, try power cycling your modem to restart your entire network

    Also, please ensure that you assign the IP for devices or DHCP is properly configured so all devices can obtain IP addresses automatically
