AC1600 R6260 installation problem
Hi - I just purchased the AC1600 R6260 wireless router and I cannot get it to connect to our internet when following the install instructions. The old router was working, so I know that the modem and...
You can get to the admin console with all the router settings by plugging a computer into the router with an ethernet cable. Open a web browser and type in 192.168.1.1 and you will be prompted for a password and it will lead you through the setup. Default is user: admin password: password . If it doesn't recognize the internet after it leads you through the setup then try messing with the Internet IP settings I mentioned in the previous post.
I know the struggle lol just dont give up! Once I got it working it actually increased my network speed by 3x.
I’m next to a condominium Bldg and I believe there is another “NetGear05” logon nearby, so my laptop won’t connect because of the “other network with the same name “
How do I change the name?

Plug an ethernet cable into it and connect the other end to your computer. Then you should be able to use a web browser to navigate to the 192.168.1.1 . Username: user ; Password: passoword . Then it will lead you through the setup and you'll be able to change the SSID name for the router.

At least one of us should read the documentation more carefully
before offering advice like this. Reading your own advice before
hitting "POST" might not hurt, either.- What’s your problem? People ask for help and you razz them and tell them to read the docs. Stfu if you aren’t going to be constructive.

What, exactly, do you believe is wrong with reading the
documentation? Even Netgear documentation seldom packs errors so
densely as some of the advice found here. Are the default user name and
password in "the docs" any less helpful than your suggestions?> [...] if you aren't going to be constructive.
What, exactly, do you believe is "constructive" about posting
misinformation (wrong "Username", misspelled "Password")?
What, exactly, do you believe is not "constructive" about directions
to find and read "the docs"?I'm curious. Is it physically painful to be that incompetent?
