Can't access router via 192.168.1.1
Xyxel C3000Z (CenturyLink) modem bridged to Nighthawk MR60 Mesh Router with one satellite. Windows 11. Microsoft Edge. Something really screwed up my router settings. Had to do a factory reset. ...

You say your modem is "bridged". Have you checked the "bridge mode" settings on the C3000Z? This isn't always a straightforward move. Different devices have different ways of going about it. That one looks to be a bit complicated.
It may be that it has settings that force the MR60 to opt for a different IP address. So rather than throwing a browser at 192.168.1.1 see if you can track down its actual IP address. (I assume that routerlogin.net doesn't work.)
If you can see the WiFi from the MR60 then you should be able to find its IP address.
Set up the router using phone app.
You could try using a PC and a browser. You get much more control and it is a heck of a lot quicker.
You could also check the firmware version – don't say which you are using – and update it if necessary.

I don't remember exactly WHAT I did when I first set up the MR60. I followed a set of instructions that I found on-lime. I believe the modem is bridged; I can't get to the C3000Z from my computer/browser.

Windows says, "the default gateway is 192.168.1.1." Windows was able to get to the router via routerlogin.net; it was there I entered the PPoP information. Tried routerlogin.net again and was able to reach router.
Thank you.

That's one of the issue with "bridged" devices. They may not have an IP address that you can reach from the router. The instructions for setting up the C3000Z might have some clues.

Tried routerlogin.net again and was able to reach router.Maybe that's a clue about the state of the modem. Could be that the MR60 isn't the default gateway.
If you can get into the MR60 you should be able to see an "Attached Devices" section with the IP address of the stuff connected to the MR60. It will also show the router's IP address.

Sorry. I can't see the routers IP address on the Attached Devices page. It shows the satellite (192.168.1.29), but don't see the router IP anywhere.
As long as I can reach the setup page using "routerlogin.net," I guess I'm OK.
Thanks for your help.
Routers IP address will be on the Advanced Tab. Won't be on the Attached Devices page.
