What do you expect to see in the Nighthawk app?
Better to use a browser connected to the XR500.
When you set up the D7000, your next move should be to ensure that it connects to the Internet. Don't connect anything else to it at this stage.
After you have confirmed that, turn off the modem. Then follow this process:
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug modem.
- Turn off router and computers.
- Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on computers and rest of network.
Then you should be able to get into the router, preferably through a browser.
Have factory reset the D7000 multiple times just to get some internet access back which is straight forward and works just fine until i try and run it back as modem only, being the XR500 is basically a paperweight right now.
Every time you reset the D7000 it goes back to modem/router mode.
Is port 1 the forwarding port in modem mode or Port 4 WAN/Ethernet? (have tried both).
Ports 1 to 4 should be OK. (See the diagram in the manual.) The red Internet port is when you want to use the D7000 in router only mode, with the modem disabled.
