Its an N750. It has two buttons on the front one shape of a lock with waves radiation from it and the other a dot with waves radiating off it. I believe that he is a WPS button.

I factory reset the router as suggested. It’s connected to nothing. When I try loging into it as instructed by the back sticker (www.routerlogin.net) it just takes me to the a netgear website.

I have reset history on my browser too.

and you disconnected the wndr4300 from your primary router?

It shouldn't take you to a website if its not online.

you can also try its default address 192.168.1.1

the router is plugged into the wall for power only. No other connections.

When I try to log into www.routerlogin.net from my phone and/or laptop (while connected to the web either by cellphone and/or my internet WiFi (as per the instructions on the router) I am redirected to https://www.netgear.com/home/services/routerlogincom/

browsing to 192.168.1.1 from my phone or laptop just times out.

  if you pull up a command prompt and type ipconfig, the default gateway should be the routers address (if its not connected to anything else).
  
  If its not the default 192.168.1.1, then you didn't factory reset it after disconnecting it from the primary router.
