I started following the instructions to reset to the factory settings. Now I have a Netgear Wifi name that doesn’t connect me to anything.
I cannot even locate my own network Wifi. It is no longer recognized.
I have an Arris modem.
How can I retrieve my regular network?

The default WiFi SSID name and PW is just what any device can connect to the router system to get it setup. After you connect your mobile device to this SSID name and PW, if you open the NH app, select Setup UP new router option, this should take you thru the setup process and complete it. You can change the SSID name and PW during the setup process here or just leave it as default then complete the setup routine. Once completed, log into the routers WEB page UI and you can change the SSID name and passwhere here using a PC and Web browser.
There a model# of the Arris modem?

It is an Arris SB6190.
Thank you for your help.
I went through the setup process, changed my PW and I found the control panel page, finally.
Only three devices are shown when there should be 13.
I would like to revert to my Home Comcast Wifi rather than the NetGear. Can you help be find an article that tells me how to do that, please? Right now it is not even recognized anywhere.- michaelkenwardMay 20, 2023Guru - Experienced User

Is the "Home Comcast Wifi" a wifi address (SSID and password) or something else?
If it is an SSID and password, you can change the R7000P to use the same SSID and password.

Basic cable modem. No router to get in the way.
