Router redirecting to the login page
So i brought a new xr500 set it up connected to the internet however when i tried to go to a website it redirects to the router login page if i type the an actual ip for a site it would go to that page but will redirect to the login page for sites like yahoo, bing, google etc. I rebooted it several times stiil doint it. Its not my modem because my old router works fine with it. The internet light is on white and its getting an ip from the isp.
thanks for any help.

Have you completed the initial installation wizard on the router? You won't have Internet access until you have done this.
If you have, then try factory resetting to see if that clears the problem: https://kb.netgear.com/000053098/How-do-I-perform-a-factory-reset-on-my-Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-router
Factory reset works but now the 2.4 ghz is very slow getting like 1mp up 1 mb down i tried changing the channels still slow any ideas
the 5ghz i am getting 170 down and 15 up but there is definitely a problem with the 2.4ghz I am sure its not my modem because with my old r8000 the 2.4ghz i get 50 down and 10 up
- Have you set the bandwidth speeds correctly in Anti-Bufferbloat options? Have you changed any options since the reset on QoS or WiFi/Advanced WiFi settings? Are you using smart connect or is it disabled?
