Router settings
I just recieved my nighthawk today and in the router settings some options are blank on the left hand side. I'm unsure why?

Are you running in Router mode? Or access point mode?
Access point mode disables many features.

I am running in access point mode any way I can ungray them?

No, in access point mode the primary router (not the AP) is handling those tasks.
You'd need to put the primary device in modem only/passthrough mode and reactivate the router mode on the netgear device to get them back.
