Why can't I log in to my RAX45 Router to change the wireless channel?

Anyone know why I can not log in to my Router using the IP adress 192.168.1.1 to change the wireless channel?  The log in gets stuck everytime and is unable to connect.

Im using a macbook.  Does not work using 'Routerlogin.net' either

  • Have you tried a different browser? 

    What modem do you have? 

    Is it a modem/router combo device? It can cause a double nat.

    Many times the router will change its default ip address to 10.0.0.1 if it recognizes its in a double nat.

      Hi Plemens...Update on not being able to change wireless channel on my Netgear ax45:

      Used my wife's computer..Used Chrome as browser..but what got me in was using the 

        10.0.0.1 IP adress. So all is well..Thanks agan Plemens!  You are on it sir.
