Hi Lashn - what url are you putting in exactly? You should put in http://routerlogin.net
If you put an ‘s’ In front of http (so it reads https) then the browser thinks it’s getting an https connection which the admin panel doesn’t have (it doesn’t really need it because it’s on your local network)
Also you can ignore all those Dos attack warnings. It’s just internet noise. If you Google it you’ll see many threads on these forums explaining that it’s nothibg to be concerned about.

My url is currently www.routerlogin.net with no https anywhere and when i enter http at the beginning of the url it says for me to relog with my admin and password i enter it and it just keeps popping back up with login details

I most certainly am putting in the right details for the https site bit yet it still says im getting it wrong!
Is the username and password the same on www.routerlogin as to https://routerlogin? If not i have absolotely no idea on what to do i even done my security questions and it says i have them wrong when i 1000% know these questions of by heart

I can use the www. webstie but just not the https thats so odd
No, the Netgear designed "capturing" of routerlogin.com and routerlogin.net (and alternate domains for other product types like Wireless Extenders or Orbi) can't work the same way if https is used on the same (W)LAN. That's why they stick to http on all these devices (regardless of DumaOS or Netgear's OS/DK) and the users get the subject warning on modern browsers.

Spiking noise? Hardware issue on the voltage regulation. Time to file for an RMA.
