Have you powered OFF the WAC for 1 minute then back ON the try to log in?
How about a factory restore and setup from scratch?
Thanks for your reply!
Will try to do a soft reset (although the refusal comes from the Netgear website, not the router).
In case a factory reset is necessary, but in that case I'll probably flash the router to an open OS.
Which NG web site? Is there a link?
- If I go to the router IP address, it redirects me to
https://accounts.netgear.com/login?redirectUrl=http:%2F%2F192.168.0.254%2Fsetup.cgi%3Ftodo%3D&devtypeid=WAC124&serial_num=######
From there, I have to enter a code that is sent via text message. After that, my login is refused with the message:
