RAX70 - WIFI stopped working unable to Factory Reset
Hi
I have a RAX70 Router NighthawkAX88-StreamAX6600Tri-BandWiFi6Router which I was setting up. I think that during the firmware upgrade - there may have been a problem as now I have no WiFi and I am unable to do a factory reset. Since there is no WiFi the Netgear Nighthawk App cannot help me.
Any suggestions?

There's a reset button at the back. Press it in for 10 seconds then release. You don't need WiFi to manage the router, or the Nighthawk app for that matter. If wired to a PC, you can use the Web UI at http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.1.1
I already tried that - just using http://192.168.1.1/ . So I disconnected all internet and only had the router connected via the port (otherwise it tried to connect to my modem TP Link), but it says this site cannot be reached.
Any other suggestions?

Not sure what that means.
"only had the router connected via the port"?
Do you mean that the router was plugged into a PC?
What does the power LED look like on the RAX70? If it isn't "solid white". As the manual says:
If the Power LED blinks slowly and continuously, the router firmware is corrupted.
