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.

Need to log in to the NH routers web page and setup it's wifi settings to be the same as what you were using on the ISP router if thats what you want.

In my home I have Verizon FIOS with a cable connected to a Verizon router from that box I wire to my new Nighthawk  AX6 AX4300.

My old WIFI name was IPOOPONU, the new WIFI from the NIGHTHAWK appears to be NETGEAR82 or NETGEAR82-5G

 

Questions:
1-Should I have two or goto one?
2-How do I get to one if that is best?
3-How do I get my new Nighhawk to take over the WIFI name of IPOOPONU
4-Is there a prefered extender for this device?
5-I have a couple extenders how do I connect an extender to the Nighthawk

Thanks
