Nighthawk AC 1750, model R6700 firmware update problem
I cannot update my firmware on a Nighthawk AC1750 model R6700 router. It has not been used for 5-6 years, and now with a different provider (Spectrum). Customer support says I have to purchas...

I’m trying to eliminate the monthly fee for my spectrum router and replace it with this netgear router. The spectrum modem and router are still connected to my ISP for Wi-Fi. I tried swapping out the spectrum router for this netgear, but again no luck in getting to login screen. What am I missing? I also can’t get the amber light to go white. It is the second led light from the left. Which I assume means no internet connection. This update firmware exercise is nearing the garbage can. I’ve tried reset buttons on everything I can find. No luck. Apparently, I’m a moron on this. Any ideas are appreciated.
Feedback on the make and model number of your Spectrum hardware is critical. If it is a combination device with both cable modem and Wi-Fi router in the same box, your R6700 will not replace the cable modem part.
These are two separate units from Spectrum. Modem on left.
