Not sure who that is supposed to be, I chip in only to suggest a possible solution to finding things on the network.
You say that you have no problem "no problems accessing the modem settings", that should also allow you to discover the other devices on your local network.
Without a manual for your modem/router it is hard to tell what features it has, but the browser based graphical user interface on most modem/routers I have seen also has some sort of "connected devices" section. Look for that and you should be able to find the IP address of your R8000P and everything else on your network.
Netgear also has its own desktop utility for finding that sort of thing.

GOT IT! Turns out that the settings to gain access to the router are held in the modem's app (on my iPhone). The IP address was changed (but not located in the modem, as another posted suggested by "swiping" to view"). It's viewed by first connecting the wifi to the modem, and then using an app on the iPhone to connect to the modem's settings. It was there that I could locate it. But not by using a browser.
So I won't have to reset as I feared. Going back to the beginning of your suggestions tonight, and will try to start over.
Thanks again!
