Unable to do a fresh set-up wizard install on my Nighthawk AC1750
Ok, I just built a brand new computer, mainly to be used for gaming. My Ether cable runs from the DSL Modem to the Nighthawk Wireless unit, then I ran an Ether Cable directly to my new PC and pllugg...
If they're greyed out that's a sign you're not in router mode? So the question is what mode is it in? Did you tinker yourself into an unknown mode?
You can factory reset the router and the genie app is not required to setup the router
Thanks for your reply but, the Gemie app, is not my problem. Maybe I wasn't clear enough so let me attempt to clarify it. When I log into the "routerlogin/net" so i can set up QOS, tinker with my security settings, and things of that nature I couldn't as nearly half of those features had been grayed out. So after trying to get the set-up wizard to run again and help me re-install the software, I gave up and un-installed the software. I am running bare and have no apparent control over my WIFI device now.
Does that help any?
Thanks

Now, thats the $64 Mill question. I just hooked it up, as I did my last computer, which was also on Windows 10, ran the Genie App and the set-up wizard, as before. I do not know what happened to it either. I know to being with, I had to redo my Nighthawk, when i fist got it but that was simple and had no trouble getting it to come up correct, that second time. Now, since i have built my own, it seems to be a problem and I am not sure why. I will keep looking myself and see what I can do on this end. Thanks.
