Netgear Router not working with modem
I have had a Netgear R6700 v3 and have used it at my old resident but switched houses and modem. I had to buy my own modem (motorola MB7621) this time, and couldn't get my internet to go through the ...
- I GOT IT TO WORK!
Log into router via ethernet/routerlogin.net

Advanced setup->
IPv6->
I then did all auto config settings all the way down the list. Internet connection type is now DHCP, IPV6 address is get automatically, and LAN setup is auto config. I looked into the manual on the router about ipv6 because my ISP was giving me ipv4 and ipv6 options. If you have my problem look in the routers manual about ipv6. It must have been confused with ipv6 and ipv4. Hopefully this works for some down the road thanks for the assistance here!

I think the problem lies with ISP, i think i need to configure router manually, not sure I can do that without ISP.
That seems likely to me. ISPs hate it when you buy your own equipment, they also seem to be clueless when it comes to questions about third party hardware. Fair enough given the many options available out there.
I can't see any mention of the ISP earlier in this discussion. (Perhaps I missed it.) But you could try to search the archive for that.
Some ISPs also have their own user groups. If your ISP has one, try there too.
One final thought, Netgear's routers do try to navigate these things with the setup wizard. Most of us ignore that, but if you haven't tried it, there is no harm on throwing it at your router. The R6700 isn't the fanciest box on the block, and is getting a bit old, albeit just three years for the V3 model, but it does claim to support the Internet Setup Wizard.
I tried the wizard on the routerlogin site and the nighthawk app. It says internet not connected. Im starting to think it has to be the router. I can connect direct to modem fine. Internet company is telling me it is a dynamic isp they provide not static or PPPoe
