N150 - WNR1000 v.3
I've had my router since forever, brand new. I always had it set up for ethernet and deactivated wifi. I now have devices in my home that have no ethernet capabilities and have to set my router for wifi capabilities. However the login page , http://routerlogin.net or .com no longer exists. It reroutes to a different login page on netgear's web site and my router is not an option. Does anyone know a workaround for this so I can re-activate the wifi setting on my router? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
My son figured it out!!! Somehow we had switched the ethernet cables around and the cable from the modem to the router was plugged into an ethernet port. Plus he found a wifi button to push and hold on top of the router! Voila! I should have known it was something simple plus he's been a tech wiz since he was only 2 years old!
Thank you for all your responses and time. God bless you 100 fold in Jesus Name!

You can use its ip address.
The default is usually either 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1
Sometimes it'll be 10.0.0.1 if you're in a double nat.
I already tried using the first IP address many times today but the connection times out. And I tried your alternate IP's and they both time out also. Thanks for responding though, I appreciate your time and consideration. God bless you!
You could always factory reset and start back over from stock.
Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on. The lights should change.
then follow the install guide.

Might look at upgrading in the future. Thats a pretty slow/base model device. Unless you're on some pretty slow dsl, you'll see a significant improvement in speeds with an upgrade to even a fairly basic gigabit dual band router.
