Has routerlogin.net stopped working? I can no longer set up my Netgear routers
I have 5 NETGEAR R6700 Nighthawk WiFi Routers connected by ethernet to a Comcast cable modem. I want them all set up as Access Points, so they serve IPs from the cable modem, and all share the same W...
As you work your way through your access points, assign each a unique static IP address and note the physical location. That way you can easily access the user interface at a later time using the IP address and not routerlogin.net.

Excellent thinking.
This is something that you can do this on the page where you set the mode. But it may be hidden.
Click the AP Mode icon and this should pop up:
Ignore the "(not recommended)" warning.
An alternative is to "Reserve" an IP address in your router's settings.
Maybe Kitsap can suggest which is better. I've used both and don't notice much difference. The result is the same, an IP address that you don't have to hunt down.

Since you are dealing with a Comcast router with very little configuration control upstream, set a fixed IP address in each of your access points.
PS: Add the access point serial numbers to your list of IP addresses and physical locations.
