Nighthawk R6900P won't connect to internet
I moved to a new apartment and plugged in my modem and router and everything came up fine as normal. Then it stopped connecting to the router and would only connect to the modem. I have tried reseting it multiple times. Unplugged the router and modem multiple times to no avail. My modem is still up and running fine but the router just won't connect.
It has two white lights on (The power and Internet lights) but nothing else. Modem is not in bridgemode.
Couldn't access via the nighthawk app so tried reinstalling the router but the default WIFI network no longer shows up so I can never get passed the first step.

Bit hard to understand what is going on here.

What is this modem?

That looks right. So what tells you that there is no Internet connection?
If the wifi lights are off, try pressing the wifi on/off switch on the top.

Why not? If it is a modem/router it probably should be.
