Cannot Sign into admin panel
Hello, So reciently i did a factory reset on my device (a AC1200 Cable Modem Router (C6230)) and after the inital admin password change and security questions it want me to sign into my Netgear accou...
Im just going to say this:
- Thank you to everyone who helped and for your advice
- the device is like 5-6 old at this point and the brand has trouble with my current isp.
- I gave up. Netgear didnt want to help without a large fee
- I just went and bought a new modem.
Sorry for the no solition resolution.
Most Netgear WiFi routers have a menu that includes the WAN and LAN setup. Often the WAN information is on the Home Screen.
Since the issue appears to be inability to reach the Dashboard after the system has been Factory Reset and configured, I worry that perhaps 192.168.0.1 was the LAN IP address immediately after the Factory Reset, but the process of configuring the C6230 has changed the LAN IP on the C6230.
p.s. At some point, the subject of "Why????" is going to come up. A DOCSIS 3.0, WiFi5 router is a bit "long in the tooth". As long as:
- The ISP connection is less than 400Mbps, and
- There are not many WiFi6 capable devices in the house (modern cell phones, laptops, tablets, etc.)
then "use it until it dies."
