Nighthawk X8 R8500 Genie support?
Greetings. I Already find the solution (if it can be call as so) of this subject right here. Very informative awnser towards this shared problem. My only question would be, when this type of rout...
OMG GUYS! FINALLY DID IT!!!!!!
My netgear wifi was giving me issue and not connecting to the 5ghz. And I had to restart my pc and or disabling the connection so it could connect withouht issue.
I did the hardcore reset. (as one of you guys mention)
This was my step.
1. Turn off everything and disconnect everything entirely, and connected again with the cables.
2. Turn the Arris modem and reset it.
3.Turn off the Netgear and reset.
4. Turn the Netgear and reset it again.
5. Connect the yellow cable to the main modem
6. Wiat for everything to boot up and issue solve
Guys thank you SO much for all the help, even though it did took me a lot to figuer it out and or understand this issue. Thanks for the advices and the ideas, they help me also to understand a bit.
I din't have to do nothing inside the Arris gateway. Now I can acess the gateway of my netgear. And din't think with logic, I just wne bananas and disconnect and did the hardcore reset. Now I will go and watch a guide to set up everything on my netgear from the gateway.
P.s. Finally! honestly thanks, thanks. I'm happy.
Yes that's right.
Since you are operating the R8500 as an AP, there is no need to turn off the Wi-Fi on the modem/router. You can use either Wi-Fi for expanded coverage in your house. Just make sure it's using different channel(s) from your R8500. I would only turn it off if it's slow.

Yes it is as is.
At the moment I am here in the gateway of the modem/router I have bought, trying to find the solution you have wrote. In the Lan set up to see what is the adress is assigned.
EDIT:
Should I edit the "Client IPv4 configuration"
In order to access the IP of the nighthawk router?
Is there is where I need to write the IP adress of the router so it allows it to open?
I don't know the model of your modem/router so I don't know what "Client IPv4 configuration" refers to.
You want to find the page on your modem/router that lists all of the attached devices and their IP addresses. That page may also have the settings to reserve IP addresses for devices, or there may be a separate page.
My concern is -N mode less router is front end and -ac mode R8500 is behind it. I'd put the modem router into bridge mode and use R8500 as main router. If you want to use R8500 as an AP, then better turn off radios on the modem router because it is only -mode capable. . And enable only one DHCP server.
You can still use your current setup of [Cable Modem ==> R8500 => Client] and access your R8500 web UI. Elaine previously posted these instructions to find the internal IP address of your R8500: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/980/~/how-do-i-log-in-to-my-netgear-home-router%3F?cid=wmt_netgear_organic
What are you trying to do next? If you just want to disable the unnecessary/unused Wifi functions of your Arris cable modem then these instructions show the Arris web UI and the checkboxes you can disable for the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wifi: http://setuprouter.com/router/arris/tg1672g/dns.htm.
As other have said, another setup is to reconfigure your Arris cable modem into bridge mode so it doesn't do anything except pass along your internet signal to the R8500. But this is more complicated setup and needs specific instructions for your particular Arris cable modem, so I don't think you should bother unless there's something specific you need beyond what's working now (e.g., you want to access your R8500 web UI from outside your house). I wouldn't worry about your R8500 internal IP address changing -- It's unlikely and even if it does happen, you can just find it again.
The default gateway that appears at cmd, it is not the one from my netgear router. Is the one from Arris so, I have try to change accoardingly to the second link you have share with me bellow and, (thanks for that) it tells me the fallowing when I try to change the Land Settings IP adress for my netgear one.
"DHPC settings are not consistance with LAN IP Adress"
