I just bought a NightHawk AX8 cannot logon via my desktop
Hello Gang, So the Nighthawk is in bridge mode behind my firewall/router. I can log onto the admin interface from my iPhone but not from my wired desktop. They are both using the same subnet, DHCP...

YA I was finally able to logon using the routers ip address. Never did get routerlogin.net to work.
Thankx for all the replies!

For the records: The routerlogin.net and ruterlogin.com (and similar URLs for other NEtgear products) can work only if the DNS query does pass the device, here the AX8 - the computer/device must be connected to the device wieless or to a LAN port on the device. These special URLs don't work form other systems on the network.
