Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for General Router products.

The R6260 is a router, NOT A MODEM! .
Pressing the Reset button for 10 seconds should work to reset the router.
Besure to clear out all browser caches. Try a different browser.
If not, try a 30-30-30 reset process.
Please use this link to the main forum product list to review and choose where to make your posts.
