(login = admin, password = password) It doesn't work anyway. Tried resetting to factory setting, have no idea if that button did anything. Tried to call customer service and ended up talking to a private support company which seemed like a scam. Can some help me with some clear instructions that have proven to work? I'm sick of the bull**bleep**! THX
Like FURRYe38 says, what actual model do you have?
when you factory reset, did you push and hold for up to 15 seconds while it was powered on?
What did the lights do?
If you talked to a private support place, more than likely you did call a scam site. But either way, if its an N300 routers, its not likely to be new. netgear only has free support for the first 90 days of purchase.
You might also look at upgrading. N300 is pretty significantly slow performance now days. Unless you're on really slow dsl, its going to bottleneck your network. A simple upgrade to a gigabit dual band router will have a pretty solid performance increase.
