Wireless login to router
I'm trying to wirelessly login to my R6300v2 router. When I enter "routerlogin.net" on the web page, it either displays a page saying "You may not be connected to your routers WiFi" or it will display the login page (both randomly with no seeming reason). I only have one network, so I'm sure I'm connected to the router and I'm certain I am entering the correct login info (case and content) . If it does dispaly the login page, entering the login info simply redisplays the login page again. Continual reentry of the login info will continue to redisplay the login page as many times as I do it. I've used several different browsers and cleared cache in each multiple times. What am I missing here?

That's usually a DNS (and/or browser+DNS) problem:

disagrees. A settings reset should restore the default credentials,
which should remove any doubt about their correctness. (See the product
label.)Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look for "Types of Logins" and
"Factory Settings".

Yeah I was afraid I'd have to do that. I'm sure that will "clear" whatever problem with credentials exists, just thought maybe I was missing something obvious with my procedure. I'll give it a shot when the wife and daughter aren't home so I don't suffer more....;<{
