can't get my night hawk x6 to work with my new modem

Hi can anyone help please. Our local cable provider (Optus) just installed a new modem with it's own built in wifi. I have a Netgear night hawk x6 and have connected it to the new modem via a cable. But when I select the X6 wifi on a device it gives me the wifi symbol & "tick"but does not actually work!!  I prefer to use my X6 wifi rather than the Optus wifi. I can switch back to the Optus wifi and it works no problem. 

Should I turn off the WIFI on the modem maybe?

    If you can put the ISP device into bridge mode (modem only) do that, other wise, put the Netgear into AP mode and use the Netgear wifi.
