JoanneJ,
Disconnect your Nighthawk's WAN (yellow port) from the Rivah connection.
Connect your PC to one of the 4 available LAN ports on the Nighthawk. Power up the router. Wait a full 2 minutes. Now use a toothpick to depress the reset button on the back of the router for 15 secs. The lights (power LED, etc) should go out briefly. Now release the button and allow the router to start. Wait a full 2 min again.
PC - Open a command prompt and type the following at the prompt> ipconfig /all
Press Enter
What is listed for
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : its going to be 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1
Use this address in your browser to reach your router's log in page.
Next steps. Configure the router as an access point. "AP Mode" - Review your manual for this configuration.
Once set, connect the WAN port to the Rivah box. >>> You can do it. Nothing to lose trying. We're here to help.

Does your " tried everything I know" include all this stuff?
If you cannot login to your router | Answer | NETGEAR Support
To help to narrow this down, what firmware version do you have on the device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
It might also help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router. The model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?

I have just followed the link you gave me, and am trying to follow the directions. However, number 5 says "Select Start > Run. Type cmd. Type ping 192.168.1.1.
If message "Request timed out," displays, type ping 192.168.0.1.
If the message persists, your computer is not making a connection to the router." Where do I select Start?
Edit: disregard this reply, I figured it out but it did not help.
