"I cannot" is not a useful problem description. It does not say what
you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual,
showing actual actions with their actual results (error messages, ...)
can be more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.
Have you tried specifying the router's IP address instead of the
"routerlogin.net" stuff? Perhaps: "192.168.1.1". You can often get it
from your computer's IP configuration as the default gateway or router
address (or some similar description).

No need to be snarky. Here's the error message when I try to connect at routerlogin.net:
Unable to connect
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at routerlogin.net.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.- kimmingDec 04, 2017Aspirant
I also tried using the IP address and got the same errors

Apologies for that – on behalf of other volunteers. Some people just find it impossible to politely deal with users who may not be network experts and who may even have English as a second language.
