"Won't" is not a useful problem description. It does not say what you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual, showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for the LED descriptions and "Troubleshoot". Further reading might not hurt, either.
If problems remain, then either provide some tiny amount of useful information, or else consult a psychic hot-line?
I connected all the wires, (power cord, ethernet cable), three lights go on, but not the forth one. My computer does see the router, but it says it can not connect to the internet, when I disconnect the nighthawk and reconnect the old replacement router, it works and my computer can connect to the internet with the old one, so I know the internet is working, why is the nighthawk not showning internet? This is the second router, as the 1st one was doing the same thing, so I returned it, but I still having the same issue and I am ready to return it and get my money back. If the old router was not working then I can deduct that there's a problem with the carrier, but that is not the case, I'm confused and giving up! I tring to upgrade, but not with the nighthawk. HELP!
Yeah, my computer shows that it can not connect to router, I ran the troubleshooting option, but it said that it can not resolve the issue. The interesting is, why does the old Belkin router connect and work, and the new netgear nighthawk AC1000 doesn't?

Like I said, new router, new network. So new settings needed.
You have been asked a couple of times now to provide some details that might help people to diagnose what is going on . Without that information we are shooting in the dark.
and feed in your model number (its probably R6080 because AC1000 is a wifi speed rather than a model number) and check the documentation for your hardware.
