Hues Bridge with C7000v2
I just bought the Philips Hue Start Up kit, which includes 2 light bulbs and the bridge. I installed the light bulbs and they work manually. When I plug it in, the 2 lights are solid, but the internet (wifi) light is blinking. I tried all ethernet ports and resetting both the bridge and modem. I also tried to look at my Nighthawk settings, but I guess things have changed since I last accessed that because I cannot find it anywhere! The Netgear app is no help, it just keeps saying "Logon timed out, please try again. If this issue persists, try rebooting your device". I have been searching for solutions for 3 hours now and need to take a break. I would appreciate any help with this because my brain is fried!

With philips hue, you connect the bridge to the router and the lights connect to the bridge.
So the goal is to get the bridge connected to the router.
You can access the router using the ip address of 192.168.100.1
But you really shouldn't need to.
I understand that, but my bridge won't connect. The internet light keeps blinking. No matter what I do or try, I can't get my Nighthawk C7000v2 modem to recognize it. đ©
I wanted to access my settings to see what the actual IP address is, so I can try to manually add it to the Hue Bridge setup.
did you try the ip address i posted earlier?
Did you contact hue about it?
