Installing openwrt in place of my routers firmware corrected this issue. There is something about the R6230 that doesn’t work with home assistant.
Install openwrt by going to: [OpenWrt Wiki] NETGEAR R6220
That is for r6220, which is the same firmware for R6230. Install by downloading the firmware, going to your routers homepage (192.168.1.1), go to the “advanced page” and upload new firmware file with the “update firmware” with file option. Setup the router like you normally would a new router, then install homeassistant.
