i have the Nighthawk RAX35. Trying to login the router
Im under my personal wifi router in my house. When I enter my admin and password on routerlogin it doesnt let me in. BUt when I use the main modem login it takes me in. Im confused since I thought you login to the Wifi you're connected to. Any fixes?

What modem are you connected to?
If you've got more than 1 router running on the network the routerlogin can have issues and you'd need the ip address.

you didn't give a model. but it sounds like you're in a double nat

2 options:
1. place the isp supplied device in modem only mode
2. place the netgear in AP (access point) mode.
