WGR614v10 setup?
I'm trying to use a WGR614v10 that has been reset (to its factory defaults). Everything I find about doing this points me to the NIGHTHAWK app. But the Nighthawk app DOESN'T support the WGR614v10. I'...

For what it's worth...
I checked some notes I had from more than 10 years ago (so long ago I'd forgotten all about it), when I had an earlier version of the WGR614v10 (it was the -v9) that I setup for my parents, and I had the same problem(s) back then. The "fix" turned out to be accessing the router via "192.168.1.1/start.htm." I did that and the rest was, as they say, history (i.e., it worked fine)

usually at the bottom is a link "i don't have a smart phone". Click that.
I'd highly look at upgrading that router. its old, slow, and going to bottleneck pretty much anything you do

Thanks. But..
(1) NIGHTHAWK app says "WGR614v10 - The app does not support your router model." The only real option it give me is to "Open ROUTERLOGIN,NET" (which, in turn, tells me to use NIGHTHAWK... rinse, lather, repeat).
(2) I know it's old/slow, but I'm not using it for my main router. I'm just using it to experiment (screw around) with a handful of "smart" connected devices. (IoT stuff: smart plugs, security camera, etc.)
Regards,

try using the ip address for it and not routerlogin . net

I've tried 192.168.1.1... no dice! Is there another IP address I should be trying?

the defaults are usually
192.168.1.1
192.168.0.1
10.0.0.1
You can always use the command prompt to check its gateway if its not connected to a different router
