I have a nighthawk mesh wifi 6 router MR80, it stopped working

Ok.
Just FYI, you don't have to use the NH app to install the router. There is a link at the bottom of the 1st setup page that you can use a PC and web browser to set it up, next time.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.

Thank you. I ended up resetting and reinstalling the router. I stopped for no reason. But seems like it is fine now. I had to download an app.
