Unable to login after reset - AC2000/WAC124
I installed a Netgear AC2000/WAC124 for a client about a year ago. We were having issues so I reset the router. Now, I can't log back in to the router. When originally setup, I was forced to us...

The only thing coming into my mind is that the WAC124 originally defaulted to an access point mode - so your observation makes perfect sense (in my simple mind as it is a wireless access point in the first priority!) - as such it won't run a DHCP server on the LAN and not issue IP addresses on the LAN ports. This default was changed from a firmware version 1.0.4.2 and above - details can be found on the WAC124 — AC2000 Dual Band 4x4 Wireless Access Point - Documentation.
As I'm not Netgear (and lack of a serial number anyway) I can't figure out under which account that WAC124 is registered - should this ever happened before.
