Dual router login
Hello, I have a Nighthawk R8000 Netgear router that is behind my LTE modem which also has it's own built in router. I"m trying to log in to the Netgear router via the URLs (routerlogin.net or...
Thanks for responding. You had a variety of questions:
My setup is LTE modem/router combo (sorry, I don't have manufactorer name or model number. It simply has the T-Moble logo on it and it's a 4G LTE modem/router) is LTE Modem/Router>Netgear Nighthawk router (via ethernet cable). Hopefully that answers the first question.
Why? This is a long story I'd rather not go into detail about. It has to do with the factory settings constantly dropping my WiFi signal and a variety of setting changes that needed to be made by Netgear IT to finally get it fixed. So when I factor reset, I'll need to restore those settings.
You didn't like my description. As I said, I'm not well versed. Here's the full extent of what's in my settings:
Manage LTE Settings
LTE Status
Internet Status
SIM Status
Dial-up Settings
Airplane Mode is inactive

If you connect a computer directly to it, what is the computer's IP
address?

Not much meat on that bone.

My weak psychic powers tell me nothing about any of that, either.

That was two questions: "the IP address of your (unspecified)
computer/device" and "its gateway address".
If your computer gets an address in the "192.168.1.*" subnet when
it's connected to the LTE modem+router (and the R8000 is not involved)
or when it's connected to the R8000, then I'd guess that the "variety of
setting changes" involved configuring the R8000 as a WAP. But that's a
guess. If it's a good guess, then the "When you configure [...]"
paragraph above explains how to get the new/different LAN IP address of
the R8000-as-WAP.
Some details are necessarily lacking, as I have no real idea what
your (unspecified) "the T-Mobile (LTE modem/router)" might be.
