I have a CM1100 Nighthawk modem as well as a pro gaming XR500 router, i also attempted to use the Nighthawk X6 AC3200 tri-band router and i could not get the wifi to work. Everything states i have no internet. When i plug any device directly into the modem, i have internet that works fine. What’s going on?

You don't say which X6 AC3200 you have, that's not a model number, but using two routers at the same time is a recipe for chaos.
Unless you have specific reasons for using two routers – to create two separate networks for example – it is often easier to use just one router and then to set up the second router as a wireless access point. Netgear advises this, as does just about every networking site you visit.
First get your network to work with one of the routers. Visit the support pages:
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
Begin with the Quick Start/Installation Guide. And do things in exactly the order specified there. Anything else can fail.
When that is up and running, read the manual for spare router and check how to set it up to work with the other one. Using it as a wireless access point, plugged into the other router, is best. Anything else is more complicated and might not even be possible for the hardware you own.
