Connecting Nokia fiber optics router to my Nighthawk r6700v3
i have a new fiber optics Internet system but would also like to continue using my r6700v3 system as an access point or secondary router. I've tried connecting the WAN port to primary router LAN port...
The NOKIA model is G-0425G-A. I'm using a CAT-6 ethernet cable. The firmware on my r6700v3 is unknown. I can no longer access my Netgear Internet and am now unable to check. I will try the other suggestions you made asp.
Factory reset the router and setup from scratch:

Your ISP ONT already has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem. https://kb.netgear.com/25891/DMZ-on-NETGEAR-routers

3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.
