Setup R6700
I am trying to setup a NightHawk R6700. I have followed the instructions to the step where it instructs me to connect to connect to Router's WiFi. When I select the NETGEAR30 NETWORK, it asks for a password. Where do I find the password? I have tried password for my modem but that doesn't work.

If you haven't changed the stock settings, the wifi password should be on the router label.
If you have, then it'd be what it was changed to.
If the router was a used/returned/renewed, the password might have changed. You can try factory resetting (push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while its powered on).
If that still doesn't work, hardwire a pc/laptop into the router (skips needing wifi password) and then you can change the ssid/password to whatever you'd prefer.
There's a support site with access to manuals, firmware, install guides, etc.
Go to https://www.netgear.com/support/
Type in your model number and from there it'll take you to the above.
Its a great resource to start with.
