R7000 as router. R6050 as AP. R6050 is cabled to the R7000 with a run of ~60-70 ft. This setup has worked perfectly for years. Recently, the R6050 seems to have lost all contact to the R7000. De...
Fixed it. I was changing to AP and then changing IP from 192 . . . to 10 . . .

How do I change my NETGEAR router to AP mode? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
Thanks. I've been there a number of times. Problem is there is no login. If you see a login on that link, let me know where it is.
If you factory reset the 6050 with out it being connected to anything accept for one wired PC connected in back, you should be able to access the routers web page and setup wizard at 192.168.1.1 after you press the reset button for 10 seconds then release. Once it's ready, try that address in any browser.
OK, I'm in . . . almost. I'm at the login page. The userid/password on the back of the router doesn't work. The userid/password I had before reset doesn't work.
Any idea how to log in?
Once logged in, I need to set the R6050 as AP and change the IP to 10.0.0.1 to match the R7000. Any link to explain how to do that?
