Can't reset my router R6220 / AC1200 Dual Radio
Hi all, So i am having some troubles with my R6220 router as when i want to reset it won't go to factory settings! I tried everything 7 second reset, 30-30-30 reset, long reset but unfortunally...
- Finally I managed to resolve this item as it looked like the R6220 was in a sort of AP mode that wouldn't grand me acces wired from oc to the r6220. How ever I went to the internet settings of my laptop and set an static IP adres using the default gateway settings on the r6220. Once I went to the browser from that moment on i got acces to the router and could set everything correct
Please visit and post about this here for your model router:

See if you can get to the routers web page at 192.168.1.1
Good Luck.
- Nope not working nether that's the thing it gets a whole other ip
Whats the IP address the PC gets when connect to the router after the reset?
What modem/gateway are you connecting it to?
Disconnect it from that gateway, then factory reset the router and try it.
From the sound of what you're saying, its getting a different IP address from the default.
That'd indicate you gateway is a modem router combo device and it causes a double nat.
A double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router.

Fixes? There’s 3 options but only use 1.
1. Put the modem/gateway in modem only/pass through mode. This disables its routing functions.
2. Leave the modem/gateway in router mode but put the Netgears IP address into its DMZ. This forwards the data to the netgear. You can either leave the modem/gateway’s wireless enabled or disabled. Just make sure its using a different wifi channel to prevent interference
3. Put the Netgear into access point mode. This disables its routing functions. Wifi/ethernet still works but it does disable some features.
https://kb.netgear.com/26765/Which-features-are-disabled-on-my-NETGEAR-router-when-it-is-set-to-AP-Mode- That's the whole thing as you mentioned I have a router/modem from my provider that I use for 1 part of the house. The Netgear Will me further away as 2th router. But it very strange as not matter what I try it won't reset that I can acces to its own Netgear menu. I disconnected the cable from the provider router and only connected a cable by lan to a laptop. Then I power the Netgear router on and pressed the reset button on the back for at least 7 seconds I even pressed it for 20 and 30 seconds and also did the 30-30-30 reset l. But everytime it restarts its in the de same mode and with the same IP that I can't acces using a laptop
