C6250 will not connect
No matter what I do it just won’t work. I can’t access it through Wi-Fi because obviously it’s not working but that seems to be the only way through the nighthawk app.
So, you need help with an C6250 modem/router?
What does "won't work" mean? It cannot connect to the Internet? Something else?

You may have done that already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear gave up on supplying paper manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
- Hi, thank you for reaching out. The lights are flashing so it seems like the power is working. The issue I’m running into is my ISP and the Nighthawk app cannot connect to it at all. I’ve tried unplugging and replugging but that didn’t work. I’ve tried factory resetting by using the button on the back but that doesn’t work. When I try to use the app with Wi-Fi on I’m unable to sign in for some reason (password is not the password). I’m just really confused because it used to work until upped my service speeds.
Are you able to access it by connecting to the wifi and using a browser (not the app)
- I’ve tried through my ISP and the app but since neither will connect to the modem itself I can’t access the Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, where I live the signal without Wi-Fi is very spotty so I’m kind of in a standstill.
