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?

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.

Ok, we need some details.
1. What modem/router are you using?
2. What netgear router?
3. firmware on the router?
which way do you have it running:
A. combo device (in modem only mode)--------->netgear router (router mode)
B. Combo device (in router mode)----------Netgear router (access point mode)
Anytime you change the combo devices mode, reboot both the modem and the router. power both off, power up the modem, give it a few minutes to fully boot, then boot the router and give it a few minutes.
