No Router Login

I have an old AC2000 Dual Band Wireless Access Point, WiFi Router (WAC124) which is working fine. although I am just using it as an access point.

 

I was able to log into it a while ago but have had to change my MyNetgear account details as I no longer had access to the registered e-mail address.  Netgear support moved the router over to the new account.  Unfortunately when I enter my details to log onto the router it goes through the login process but then just takes me back to the login page.

 

I've tried this on a couple of PC's so I know its not a PC problem.

 

Support is no longer available through Netgear.

    Have an eye on the fine User Manual (For Firmware version 1.0.4.2 and greater) where you find around p.18/19

    Note: If the access point/router is in router mode, you can always reach the local browser
    interface by entering http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field of your browser.
    If the access point/router is in access point mode, you must enter the IP address that
    your existing router assigned to the access point/router. For more information, see Find
    the IP address of the access point/router on page 29.

    Not sure what you expect from my.netgear.com - you will find there details like serial number, registration date, ....
