I have broken my connection to our AC2100 R7200 router
Yesterday while I was trying to manage devices in our nighthawk, I accidentally removed my iphone which is also the admin.
When I tried to reconnect, I am having issues. It will not connect. This appears to be because I have reset to the factory name for the router and the security
But in the world of the chicken and the egg, I cannot access the APP in order to fix any of it????
I am so lost

NETGEAR Mobile Applications and Android/Apple/Windows Devices FAQ | NETGEAR CommunitiesDo you have a laptop with an ethernet connection? Either that or connect to the wifi with the default wifi name and password under your router. Just open a browser while connected to the wifi or through ethernet and type 192.168.1.1 or http://www.routerlogin.net. Since you reset it you might have to create a new login to see the setup pages to make changes to the router settings.
