Can't log into my router, incorrect password
I'm having trouble logging into my router, every time it gives me an error saying my password is incorrect. Every time I go to log in on my browser on my computer, it doesn't even indicate it's conne...
Main reason why I'm using this is because my main router would not reach a certain area of the house and using a wifi extender never worked well for me as I had connection issues. I do not pay for my internet as this is more my parents paying for it. The Arris Router is a Frontier Issued router which does include a modem built in it. The router still works fine as I'm using it right now on my pc and my mobile devices still work. It's just that I can't log into the control panel on my phone either. Using an iPhone 11 with iOS 17.
The only reason why we have this router is because my parents also pay for cable. Wifi signal was never good in my area of the house so that's why I bought another router. If they were just paying for internet then we could've used two of the same router.

If the R6400 is wired to the main router, just put it into access point mode:

If you are playing with "bridge mode", with a wifi link between the two, then you need to reconfigure the R6400 as your reset will have put it back into router mode.

Is that logging into the R6400?
Two things to bear in mind, in AP mode you have to track down the IP address that the router has assigned to it, and put that onto a browser. Look in the router for its list of "attached devices".
Secondly Apple issues bring up this:

I tried looking on my router settings and I can't even find which one it is, never was a fan of this router. All of this for a password not working to login lol. I might have to get a new router at this point, probably a new main router.
