You shouldn't need to register it (if its already been done) to setup and connect to the internet.
Try using the browser method of setup.
Also, what modem/gateway are you connecting to?
Try powering both modem and router off and disconnecting everything (including coax) from both.
then connect coax to modem and power it on. give it a couple minutes.
Then connect router to modem and power router on. give it a couple minutes.
Then try setup using the browser method. again, you shouldn't need to register it.

Re: R6120 no internet router set up - netgear account login problem serial number already registered
I followed your advice and the nighthawk app didn't get stuck where I was having problems earlier. In addition to unplugging and waiting a few minutes like you suggested, I used an ethernet connection to reset the TCP/IPV4 settings to detect IP address automatically. I followed the instructions on this very helpful YouTube video at the 2 minute mark to unbrick the router (https://youtu.be/R9DLrLQrpaw) but until just now I hadn't done the steps in reverse, which may have contributed to the connection problems.
Many thanks for your help.
