Hey, I had my internet set up today with Aussie Broadband 1000/50Mps FTTP.

I am trying to connect my router to get Wi-Fi and nothing comes up on Wi-Fi. I have downloaded the Nighthawk App and I scan the QR code on the router, when it says searching for Wi-Fi nothing happens.

I have reset the modem and router multiple times and haven’t had any luck.

All the lights on the router appear to be normal (white fixed LED light) yet the Wi-Fi does not appear.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Problem fixed, had to do the laptop/computer method, screw trying to use the app.

  I had a similar issue, I had to ring the ISP and get them to reset something. Can’t remember what, something was configured wrong for the new nighthawk.

  By reset are you rebooting or doing a factory reset? On the RAX70 you can do this to do a factory reset.

  Do you have a laptop that you can connect to the router directly and then try to login that way?

  What's the exact issue, is your router not able to connect to the internet (i.e. a WAN issue), or are you not able to connect to your router via WiFi (i.e. a WLAN issue)?

  If you're setting up, try connecting your computer directly to the router with an ethernet cable and eliminate one of the variables.
