Trouble w netgear nighthawk x6

Was watching tv via streaming this morning. Internet company replaced core router on tower today. My router will no longer work. If i plug HDMI into tv it will steam but not nighthawk router. I have tried turning it on and off. Hard reset. Unplugging. Any tips? Before the hard reset, power and internet lights were lit red. No other lights. After the reset, i had white lights down to usb 3 and wifi and wps. Tvs and computers still would not work.

  • If the ISP has been messing around, your network may have changed.

     

    Is there a modem in there somewhere?


    Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:

    • Turn off and unplug modem.
    • Turn off router and computers.
    • Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
    • Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it connect.
    • Turn on computers and rest of network.

    This bit means nothing to me.

    I can't tell what is plugged in to what. HDMI connects local stuff and isn't something that connects your router to the Internet.
