I recommend doing the factory reset and setup from scratch with the web browser and use the default IP address 192.168.1.1.
Is there a router in front of the R6700?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

Hello, thanks for the help. For my personal information, what will change with the default IP ? This never caused a problem before. I can still reach the 192.168.0.180, I defined that setup in my normal router with the MAC address of the nighthawk but sure, I can remove that configuration.
There is a router, yes. It is the router from the internet provider VOO in Belgium. I just use the nighthawk as an access point.
If the firmware is available in the iOS application nighthawk, I can check in 8-9h when I am home. I can't reach the router web page so I won't be able to see this information if it is not in the app I think.
To be honest, I am used to do this procedure because the NG doesn't save the configuration... there is just something different now. :/

What IP address string does the ISP router use? 192.168.0.x?
