RAX43v2 - Web Interface - Something went wrong. Try again

I recently purchases at RAX43v2 when I attempted to set it up via the web interface I keep receiving the following message:

 

 NETGEAR Account required. You must login or create a netgear account during installation.

 

When I attempt to login to my netgear account i get the following error message:

I was able to download the nighthalk app and connect and set my SSID but I cannot get in via the web interface to setup my advanced settings

  • If you can track down the router's IP address on the network (start with 191.l68.1.1) does that work?
