Close the mobile application. It will not do you any good without Wi-Fi.
Start troubleshooting by looking at the LED indicators on the front of your C6300v2. If you go to the top of this page to the Downloads section, put in your model number and download the user manual. Starting on page 100 of the manual is a section on Troubleshooting With the LEDs. There are several indicators that pertain to the Wi-Fi. Which LEDs are lit and which are not? Maybe you have accidentally turned the Wi-Fi off with the manual switch?
Can you connect to the router with your desktop computer? With no Wi-Fi, you will have to use an Ethernet cable between the computer and the router.
I have wifi. All other wifi connected devices work fine. App will not connect to netgear.

Check the firmware version on your C6300v2. It requires version 1.03.06 for Nighthawk mobile application support.
Reference: https://kb.netgear.com/000055505/Which-products-support-the-NETGEAR-Nighthawk-app
It appears the latest Spectrum approved firmware is version 1.02.09.
At this time, you cannot get there from here. Future updates to either the Nighthawk application or the Spectrum approved firmware may resolve this problem.
App connected previously. ?App supported.
Desktop is hardwired to nighthawk. How do I access nighthawk?

You might try routerlogin.net or 10.0.0.1. Will not connect is very sparse on information. What specific error message do you get?
Make sure you are using http:// and NOT https://. Some browsers automatically default to https://.
Yes,registered. Out of warranty.
Reinstalled and still will not connect. Problem loading logon page. Again, when I try to connect it says to connect wifi. Wifi is connected on phone.

Warranty does not have anything to do with the question. When you sign in to your MyNETGEAR account, your C6300v2 should show up on your products list. Usually the Nighthawk application asks you for your MyNETGEAR account user name and password during install.

What version of the Nighthawk application do you have installed?
I am using version 2.27.1.3003 for Android.
Are you using an iPhone?
I had to sign-in when I reloaded app?
2.27.1.3003
I am at the end of my options. On paper the Nighthawk application does not support the firmware version you have installed on your C6300v2. Yet you say you have had it working in the past.
I now in Netgear genie. Don't see a way to update firmware. Am I missing something?

No. Firmware updates on your C6300v2 are the exclusive territory of your ISP (Spectrum).
Some of the newer combination modem/router devices have separate firmware packages for both the modem and the router. The modem can only be updated by the ISP and the router can be updated by the end user.
