Netgear Router R6260 - doesnt keep my settings
Hi, I purchased the Netgear router on ebay. Reset everything, but when I try to login to adjust settings, it does not keep my changes i.e. password or secret questions. I have tried factory reset bu...
Factory reset.
Added all the information to setup the router along with Admin password changes and security questions. When it was all setup, I tried to connect on my laptop using 192.168.1.1, it didnt accept the Admin details, asked for Router Serial number and then security questions which all failed.
Is it connected to a modem of some sort?
Its connected to a Virgin Media router, I use it as an access point but also a ethernet connection. Both the Wifi and Ethernet drop out and then comes back on again, happens every few hours. So I reset everything and wanted to see if there are some settings in the Netgear router that I need to change.

Pity you didn't say that at the outset.
You said earlier:

You need to get the IP address from the attached devices list in your main router. Then feed that into a browser to get at the AP's controls.
Ok great. I will try that. Thanks.
