RAX120V2 cannot access router after Factory Reset

RAX120V2 router

Did factory reset and now cannot access router to setup. When I go to www.routerlogin.net it redirects to 192.168.1.1/BRS_index.htm

Says Internet detected. Cannot get past Admin Account Settings. The admin username and New password are grayed out and cannot change factory default. I select security questions and type in answers but the NEXT button stays grayed out. Did Netgear brick my Nighthawk RAX120v2 router? How do finish setting up my router?

  • Try the reset 1 more time. Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds. 

    Then reattempt the setup. 

    Usually when the next is grayed out, you didn't meet the minimum requirements for something. 

    Make sure the password you setup has at least 10 characters

    1 special character

    1 upper case

    1 lower case

    1 number.
