How does NetGear take the simplest of expected features and make it so exceedingly frustrating and broken? It is a requirement to log in to the router from time to time.
Hard to tell without details of what was going on at your end Maybe something changed in your network. A simple thing like updating Windows can break access to the router. Nothing to do with Netgear.
I know this is a known problem so where is Netgear support with the answers? I've seen references to clearing cache and trying alternate browsers so again, this is a known issue. I'm not sure i'm getting cache totally cleared, but downloading a brand new browser accomplished nothing
How do you now that there is a known problem? Got a link to the other reports? (They can give us clues on what might be happening.)
I would like DETAILED instructions on how to fix this. And to fix it once and for all.
Not possible without a clearer explanation of what is happening at your end.
All we know is that you can't login to the browser graphical user interface (GUI).
