C6300 Netgear Log In Time

When I attempt to log into the router it takes forever.....Sometime up to a minute to bring up the screen after password....So I thought I would try the Netgear Genie to see if it was faster...I also thought I might need a firmware update as (Current V1.02.20)...I'm with Charter......Anyway the Genie times out after I input password...Never logs in...

 

Any thoughts?

  • Do you have anything else you sign into on your network? Printer? Modem? Can you sign into that without any problem? What about normal webpages like facebook or a banking site?

     

    Also, notice any difference signing in with HTTP://192.x.x.x vs HTTPS://192.x.x.x?

     

    Finally, have you tried changing the gateway's password? If so, is it over 16 characters or begin with a specail character(@$%&*)?
