I can't log in with admin/password... R7000

To the original poster: I have the very same problem. Happened after firmware update.

I’ve also tried everything and cannot access router login.com or router login.net. It was surfing just fine, but I needed to change some settings and I can no longer get into it. I’ve also tried a direct cat 5 wire between port 2 and the computer. Then I’ve tried WiFi and still no login page. I end up with the netgear web site, instead of the router login screen.
Now I held reset for 7 seconds until the power light flashes, to default it to factory settings. After all that I still can’t log into it. It surfs the internet though. Ughh, is there a fix for this? I’ve always been really good about keeping the firmware updated. I suspect the latest firmware is preventing me from being able to log into it.
