Hello Farrah
Try to remove the coax connection from the modem and then do the factory reset then try to setup the wireless. After that try to plug into the coax.

Hi, thanks for responding. I have tried everything under the sun. I've downloaded the desk top app and genie wont let me in the router, my IP address shows some 50.30. number in cmd ipconfig/all and the only one that will let me close to Genie is IP 192.168.100.1 and that has the router mode off, the Mac address blank, the IP address blank, DHCP off, and 0 for the starting frequency. Any changes I apply will reboot and revert back. I have tried wired with my laptop and other wireless devices, the routerlogin.net says I need to log on to the router network. I swear never again will I buy a netgear product. grrrrr.

another thing, when I turn on a wireless device, it shows Neatgear34 and Netgear34-5G. The password works for both, when I use the WPS it picks up the Netgear34-5G and that has a weird IP address and MAC address. From my understanding the modem thinks there is another router and there for is defaulting to router mode off. I have deleted all the networks from my devices and used just Netgear34, but still no connection.

Hello Farrah
You also may want to check with your ISP if something is not coded correctly on your account it could disable the wireless.
