Hi Netgear Team,

Hello jr123
You can log into the EX6100 if you know the Ip address of the device you would use that. Have you tried login into the EX6100 with a ethernet cord and with it disconnected from the main router?

It's still complaining about wrong password. I tried using direct RJ45 network connection.
