Do you not see the MRs log in window pop up at that address?
What IP address does your PC get from the MR when it's connected to the MR?
Later on to review:
If 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.

Yes lets get some help on site. Hopefully they can help you with this.
With the ISP having a router in the mix, it maybe using 192.168.1.1 and the MR may have changed to maybe 10.0.0.1.Have the tech check into this.
After they can get a FW version please post it here. There maybe a process to get it updated correctly, however we'll need to know the FW version first.
