New Netgear Nighthawk WiFi Router Won't Connect To Internet.
My very old Linksys router still works when plugged back in but for some reason new Nighthawk AC1600 WiFi router, it won't connect. Running Windows 10. Things I've tried:
Multiple Power Cycles including hitting reset button.
Resetting Network
Troubleshooting through windows.
Resetting IP through CMD Prompt
Tried connecting through Nighthawk Ap. No go. Plugged old router in an went to Netgear's website to try and see if they had drivers but couldn't find anything...I have no clue what to do next other than return this router. Any help appreciated!

1. what modem/gateway is the netgear connecting to?
2. AC1600 is a speed, not a model. What actual model router do you have?
3. what firmware is on it?
