Try a 30-30-30 reset on the MR then. Still keep it disconnected from the ISP modem for this.
After the last 30 reset, you should be able to get into the MRs web page at 192.168.1.1. Set the IP address configuration on the PC to Auto, don't use Static.
Factory reset and setup from scratch using a wired PC and web browser and then walk thru the setup wizard and setup from scratch. Recommend setting the default DHCP IP address pool range to the following after applying and a factory reset: 192.168.#.100 to 192.168.#.200.
Your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem. https://kb.netgear.com/25891/DMZ-on-NETGEAR-routers

3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.

Try option #2 first...
Cant factory reset, pressing the reset button for 7-10 seconds does nothing, front LED stays solid amber.
I have the unit in AP mode, no two NATS.
Turn OFF the MS. Disconnect the MR from the ISP modem. Power OFF the MR by pulling the power adapter for 15 seconds then plug back in. When the MR starts to blink press the reset button for 15 seconds then release. Leave the wired PC connected. Try 192.168.1.1 when the front LED turns AMBER...

I have the laptop static to 192.168.1.253 /24 - not able to ping 192.168.1.1.
I had the AP in static mode at 192.168.1.6 /24 before the firmware upgrade. that also does not work.
set laptop to dhcp, in case the MR60 actually reset - no go cant get an address from the MR60.
plugged the MR60 back into the ATT modem things are working as they were. Amber light, not registering with the ATT modem, able to access internet thru the MR60.Try a 30-30-30 reset on the MR then. Still keep it disconnected from the ISP modem for this.
