Help to install Nighthawk ax6 router modem
I have a new Nighthawk AX6 WiFi router modem model cax30. I am having great difficulty getting it up and running. I need help

I discovered all I had to do was contact my ISP Xfinity. It took two or three minutes and I finally had the Internet back. I am very pleased with Nighthawk Router/Modem.
Thanks everyone for your helpful comments.

Be sure to contact the ISP first to have them get the modem portion of the unit associated with there services first.
