Do a factory reset with the router and connect up a wired LAN cable PC to the router. Use IE11 or FF browser to set up the router as you walk thru the setup Genie wizard. It should work. Clear all browser caches before starting the web browser.

Find the reset button on the back or under the router. Review the user manual for button location. Usually in back and marked as "reset".

PC lan cable plugs into any of the 1 thru 4 black plugs in back. The Yellow plug is the LAN cable plug in from the ISP modem. Review the user manual on ports and usage.

Re: Just bought a nighthawk x6 r8000 and can't get it to install
Ok, making sure your ISP modems doesn't have a built in router. It doesn't.
The R8000 should connect up. Might swap out LAN cables between the router and ISP modem and try again.
I recommend you phone contact your regional NG support office for more help and information on this as well.
