Is that Android? iOS has been having a hard time following one of Apple's troublesome uodates.

Login to the device can be a two-stage process. First the wifi, then the interface. It is even more complicated if you use Anywhere Access.

There are several ways to connect with routerlogin.net. If this mean that you can connect with a wired LAN link and the browser graphical user interface (GUI) that is the best way to get in and update firmware. It doesn't rely in a wifi connection that might die mid-update, wrecking your router in the process.

The preferred option for experienced users is this one:

How do I manually upgrade firmware to my NETGEAR router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support

Visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

That page will also have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist.

Check the section in the manual on updating the firmware.

I was experiencing the exact issue but finally got through to my R7960P from the nighthawk app by setting my timezone appropriately (Advanced->Administration->NTP Settings).

My problem started after updating the firmware to V1.4.1.68. No sure why the timezone was ever changed but when I got to the setting it was in GMT 00:00. I changed it to my timezone, and also set my preferred NTP server to time.apple.com, click apply, then when the router comes back online my phone can connect to it straight away.

I had exactly the same problems.

NETGEAR people:  This is a MAJOR BUG in your latest R7900P firmware update!!!!!!!
