Can't log into my router, incorrect password
I'm having trouble logging into my router, every time it gives me an error saying my password is incorrect. Every time I go to log in on my browser on my computer, it doesn't even indicate it's conne...
You have a Netgear router attached to another Arris Router. (There may even be another one if you have a modem-router connecting the Arris to the Internet.)
I have already explained what that means.

This means that your usual login addresses for the R6400 are unlikely to work.
Tracking down its IP address may not be that easy. The wifi connection through it would be a start.
Or, the most obvious move:
How do I change my NETGEAR router to AP mode? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
If you need more help in achieving that, just ask.
Unfortunately, FURRYe38 seems to have missed the extra router on your network, so you are getting misleading advice that, as you have found, will not work.
I’m aware yes. My NETGEAR router is not connected to my Arris router via wifi, it’s connected via an Ethernet cable.
I can’t change it to AP mode if I can’t log into it is the thing, because the article tells me I need to log into it.
I can use all the help I need at this point. Getting to frustrating.

So if you disconnect the NG router from everything, have one wired PC connected to the LAN port in back, press the reset button for 15 seconds, then release, give a minute, open a web browser to 192.168.1.1, does anything appear in the browser here at all?

Your Arris router should have a list of "connected devices" with the Netgear router in there. If that doesn't work, then there is a chance that the R6400 saw the other router during setup and gave itself an alternative address, usually 10.0.0.1. If you have a browser connected to the wifi from the R6400 router, maybe it will get into the GUI.
