I have spent about 2 hours looking at different fixes and resolutions to my issue I'm having here. I have Comcast/xfinity internet, with an Comcast/xfinity modem, which is connected to my nighthawk, which is connected to my computer which is running windows. My router stopped working. The globe LED on the front is now orange, and I cannot access the netgear control panel (192.168.1.1) nor my isp control panel (10.0.0.1) due to "ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE". I cannot access any external webpages either with the error "DSN_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET", this is 'll according to Google chrome. I've tried restarting my Comcast/xfinity modem via their mobile app. I've also factory reset the nighthawk via the reccesed switch on the back with a paperclip. I've tried unplugging and turning on/off both the modem and the router. The physical connections are secured, and I've tried moving the Ethernet cables to different ports on the router and the modem in different combinations. What caused the whole thing was me putting the nighthawk into bridge mode, and losing access to the netgear control panel. I'm desperate for any solutions, thank you.

What is the modem MODEL number?
Disconnect router except for a wired PC connecting to a lan port. Press and hold reset until power Led flashes IF done correctly the router will reset to defaults and allow access again via IE and by 192.168.1.1
Disconnect PC from router>
Connect PC to modem press and hold reset until all leds flash this will reset modem and or modem/router applicable. If modem only great verify you can surf .....disconnect from modem ...connect to router lan port.....login .....setup....internet setup....use PC Mac address. connect router to modem power cycle both after several minutes the internet led on router should be solid white.
if modem is router combo make a decision! change Bridge mode and use r7000 as router or leave in router mode and use r7000 in AP MODE

Weird, I started getting that issue yesterday except it was every 10 minutes. Now today I can't even access any webpages, if I ping any address the IP address shown is my router.
I've plugged my default ISP router in and theres no issues.

I will try this solution when I get home, but this is something I have yet to do. I have high hopes that this will resolve my issue. I'll update the thread when I try it. Thanks so much.
