Netgear Nighthawk C7800 Locked Out

I purchase this modem/router off Ebay in September 2020. It was listed as open box. I have been using it since with Spectrum 1gb and has been fine. Today it started losing internet and seems to rebot...

    You can factory reset it and get everything back to default. 

    Simply push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while its powered on. 

    Then you'd need to re-install it.

What do you mean re-install it? I just plugged it in and used the SSID and password located on the back since I wasnt able to access anything.
