I don't understand that. How does your ISP provide an SSID?
That is something that the router delivers.
Before drastic measures like setting up the thing all over again, try some simple troubleshooting measures.

Are the wifi LEDs lit up at the bottom on the front of the modem/router?
What about the one on the right? Tried pressing the on/odd switch there?
The nighthawk app won't find the router.
The best way to set up and manage the router is with the browser graphical user interface with a wired connection from a PC.
