I just got a nighthawk set to the router configurations but something odd is going on. When I plug the nighthawk into the modem it does not connect to the internet. But... When I plug my old TP-link router into the modem and then plug the nighthawk into the TP-link it works fine. I don’t like this method because this is stupid and the quality is probably degraded due to the old hardware. Anyone else ever experienced this or know what the hell is the issue with the router?
You might have it set in bridges mode. But the best advise is to call that 1800 number
After connecting netgear, reboot the modem, this time they will connect.
