AC2600 will not get past initial log-in screen
I am trying to add this router to a Starlink system. I place the Starlink modem in bypass mode to disable wifi. The netgear has been factory reset. When I go to routerlogin.net I can click on the ...
This will be like the 4th time I am typing the same thing. And why is this post the solution??? It hasn't been solved.
I am hardwired directly to the router from my pc. The only time I tried to use wifi is because Routerlogin.net says it's better to configure your new netgear router with an app on your phone. Turns out it isn't. All the app did was take me, to a browser window on my phone and the same thing that happens on my pc, that is hardwired directly to the router did.
There is a label on the bottom but it is useless. "admin" and "password" are of no help any longer. At some point the firmware on these has changed to no longer use a default password. You have to setup a password on the very first use and if you ever do a factory reset. That is the step I cannot get past. I get an error every time, on multiple browsers, and multiple devices.

What Starlink modem is this?
What does "bypass modem" do on it? There is more to "modem only" (or bridge ) mode than disabling wifi.
When I go to routerlogin.net I can click on the first screen accepting all the legals.
How are you doing this? Wired? Which browser? (Some throw a wobbly at that "site".
This is the latest Starlink modem. The bypass mode is intended for exactly this purpose. So that you can use your own wifi network. It shuts off wifi. Many Starlink users are successfully using their own routers and mesh networks.
I am connected by ethernet directly to the router. I have tried both Chrome and Edge. I have also tried using the Netgear app on my phone all with the same result. Also all stated in my original post. I have previously downloaded the most recent firmware to install but you still have to log-in to the router to do that... which I cannot.

Does it have make and model number?
Sadly, I have no idea what "the latest Starlink modem" might be.
As you said before, "No internet connection needed" let's just take the Starlink modem out of the loop for now. I still can't get past the initial log-in screen.
