Nighthawk AC1750 vR6400v2

SOLUTION to white blank screen when using 192.168.1.1 to login into Netgear Nighthawk AC1750 vR6400v2 Wifi router. (All the LED lights were normal.)

I got the white blank screen when using a Windows 10 Home (OS build: 19045.5371) PC having the latest updates (Feb 10, 2025). But was able to login in normally using an older version of Windows 10 Home (OS build: 16299.125) on a laptop. Windows 7 should work as well. Apparently, newer Windows and/or Java updates caused the problem.

After successfully login into the router, I was able to update its firmware to the latest version. Afterwards, I was able to use 192.168.1.1 to login into the router using my Windows 10 Home PC having the latest Windows OS updates (which I couldn't do before).

Logged in using an Ethernet cable connection. Ethernet adapter was set to DHCP.

Someone else had the EXACT same issue, resulting in a blank white screen:

"ipconfig shows that my default gateway is 192.168.1.1
Going to 192.168.1.1 produces the following address:

I spend about 4 hours trying different things, but the Good Lord Jesus, put it into my mind to try an older version of Windows.  I hope this helps others!  🙂
