Can't login to RAX43v2 to change settings
Any time I try to login to my router, a RAX43v2, I get prompted for a username and password as expected. However, as soon as I enter my username and password I get redirected to this stupid, unhelpf...
Looks like you're not the only one having issues .
I won't expect Netgear does use a "....-qa" system URL on a live production platform - however it appears to happen here.
Head direct to https://192.168.1.1/ or http://192.168.1.1/ for now.
- When I go to the local router ip address of 192.168.1.1 and login with my credentials it does the same thing. Redirects to this qa page and says authentication failed. Sorry I didn't make that clear.
No matter what url I try to login to for my router, it kicks to this remote server which is obviously not working.
I still don't understand why a local admin login goes to the Internet at all.I've had a couple different offline routers from netgear. It doesn't have to be online to log into it. Make me suspious of a couple things.
1. Try a different browser
2. disable any password managers you're using
3. check if you've got an security (antivirus/malware) that might be running and blocking it
4. are you using armor?
5. Make sure your password meets minimum requirements. 10 characters, 1 special character, 1 upper case, 1 lower case, 1 number
1. Try a different browser
- I have tried 3 different browsers on 2 different computers and on a mobile phone.
2. disable any password managers you're using
- Tried in browsers without password managers
3. check if you've got an security (antivirus/malware) that might be running and blocking it
- Done, no difference.
4. are you using armor?
- No
5. Make sure your password meets minimum requirements. 10 characters, 1 special character, 1 upper case, 1 lower case, 1 number
- The password is 20 characters, with all these character classes.
