MR60 default wi-fi name not appearing
I'm attempting to re-setup my Nighthawk Mesh, MR60, through the Nighthawk app. I'm getting to the part where my phone tries to connect to the Router, via "NETGEAR05", and fails. I looked at my available Wi-fi options, and NETGEAR05 is nowhere to be found (on multiple devices). I've reset the router multiple times and restarted the setup process multiple times as well. Is there any reason that this wouldn't be appearing?
I have used this mesh before, but I figured pressing the reset switch would kick it to its factory settings.
Is this a new in box system or got used?
Can you try setting up the MR using a wired PC and web browser?

It has been used previously.
I unfortunately only have one ethernet port in the back of the router (Nighthawk MR60 | WiFi 6 System | NETGEAR Support) so I'm not able to plug into it and use the method you sent me without unplugging it from the main wi-fi.
What is the brand and model# of the ISP modem/ONT?
You don't need to have the MR connected to any ISP device to set it up using the method I gave you.
