Unable to Connect to R6700v3 After Factory Reset
After Factory resetting a R6700v3, and attempting to connect to it, each time I try to connect to what I presume is the router (the default wifi network name is now showing up) it says the code is wrong. This also then, prevents me from being able to access routerlogin.net as I am unable to even connect to the router in the first place. I am using my ISP's default router now, but I prefer the higher speeds of the Nighthawk router (and the fact I don't have to pay for it).

So you're currently going isp gateway--->R6700?
sometimes the routerlogin won't work if running through your isp device being in a double nat.
Disconnect it from the att device and reboot it. Then connect to it (wired) and try accessing the routerlogin
A double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router.

Fixes? There’s 3 options but only use 1.
1. Put the modem/gateway in modem only/pass through mode. This disables its routing functions.
2. Leave the modem/gateway in router mode but put the Netgears IP address into its DMZ. This forwards the data to the netgear. You can either leave the modem/gateway’s wireless enabled or disabled. Just make sure its using a different wifi channel to prevent interference
3. Put the Netgear into access point mode. This disables its routing functions. Wifi/ethernet still works but it does disable some features.
