Setting up netgear45 router

My connection keeps dropping. Followed all directions, starting over at least 4 times. Have Microsoft edge. And trying to set up nighthawk ax6 ax4300 6-stream WiFi router. There is no QR code for me to scan either so having to try the install manually.

       None of that is a model number.  Look for "Model" on the product
    label.  Firmware version?  Connected to what?

       Your "connection" between what and what?  Computer and router?
    Router and modem?  Modem and ISP?  Other?  Wired or wireless?  Any
    useful information at all might be helpful.

       "all" _which_ "directions"?

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
    and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.
    Look for a topic like "Use a web browser to access the router".  Also
    the LED descriptions and "Troubleshoot".

       Why?

     

       None of that is 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.

       So?  And what, exactly, is stopping you?
