Wi-Fi connection Issues
I have everything hooked up. WiFi was connected. Now no connection and won't recognize my PW. Anyone??? I'm on my 3rd router today. The other 2 wouldn't recognize the app at all

You'll have to provide some more details. I'm afraid that "no connection and won't recognize my PW" could mean many things.
What password is this? Wifi? Router controls? Something else?
What has "no connection"? No Internet connection? Some wifi clients? Wired devices? Something else?
What modem, if there is one, sits in front of this router/
The XR1000 is a gaming router.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
Nighthawk Pro Gaming Routers - NETGEAR Communities
Gaming routers have their own DumaOS operating system that is nothing like the one on Netgear's standard routers.
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
