MR60 Network problems. IP confliction?

Ok.
You should be able to access the MRs web page at 192.168.1.1 then on the PC that's connected in back of the MR.
You might disconnect the MR from the ISP modem temporarily. Then factory reset the MR by pressing the reset button for 10 seconds then give the MR a minute, then try 192.168.1.1 in a web browser. The setup wizard should appear with the Nighthawk app asking you to use it. Scroll down to the very bottom of this page and select the text that says I don't have a mobile device. This will start the web browser setup wizard.

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Built in router here by chance? If so, 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...

Sorry I should have mentioned that my Modem is already set to modem only and the router and wifi part disabled. The Modem is a BGW210-700
Also for these options that need me to login to routerlogin.net, I can't access that page as it redirects me here.

With a wired PC connected to the MR, what is the IP address string the PC is seeing from the MR? 192.168.1.something?
And you are sure the modem IS in full modem mode?
- MattQOct 06, 2022Aspirant
Yes, the IP address is 192.168.1.something.
Also yes, I believe so that modem is in full modem mode. When I check my ISP's webpage for it, all signs point to it as I can see.Also thanks for helping and sorry for these late responses
