Nighthawk AC1750 Router (R6700v3) will not power on.
When I plug in the router and press the power button on the back, the Power light, and the 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz, Guest Wifi, and USB 3.0 lights all blink one time and then nothing happens. I tried the reset...
I think you're right. I didn't realize it, but the cord is the wrong cord. It goes to a motorola... I will try locating the correct power supply cord and try it again. Thanks.

Do you mean that all the lights go off and you have a dead device?
If the power LED comes on and stays on, what colour is it?
Do you have a separate power supply that you could try? One with the same volts and amps as the one you use now?
The lights do not stay on. They all flash once and then nothing. Then I can press the power button to turn it off, and press it again to turn back on, and they all flash once again, and then nothing. It's like it will not power on. I have tried several different outlets. I do not think it is an outlet problem.

I was not referring to "outlets". I suggest trying a different power supply, the transformer (adapter) that plugs into the mains outlet and the router.

Another one with too many old power bricks lying around. It is a modern disease.
Let's hope the Motorola adapter didn't do any lasting damage to the router.
Look on the R6700 for its power consumption, then track down a replacement with the same output. (More amps is fine.)
