So i put my router in bridge mode and now i cannot access anything to get it out of bridge mode. I have reset my router almost 20 times and have tried using 5 different computers. I have tried going to routerlogin.net and also just typing in my ip address on all 5 different computers. I can not get anything to help

The router is just one of several places where the IP address for the R7450 will be listed. smithjordan2196 wrote: I have tried going to routerlogin.net and also just typing in my ip address on all 5 different computers. You can't use routerlogin.net for something in bridge or AP mode and I have no idea what you mean by "my ip address". It is the IP address of the R7450 that you need.

so how do i find the ip for the actual router then?

That depends on the router. You haven't told us what that is. By default many brands use 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 for a modem router. If you are connected with a PC to the router, then it should show the IP address in the network settings and properties. But if you want to get the IP address of the R7450, then some other network tool should help. If you can connect to its wifi, then the connection's properties should show the IP address. If you just want to get it out of bridge mode, read this: How do I perform a factory reset on my NETGEAR router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support

yes i want to get it out of bridge mode and i have factory reset it multiple times by following that guide. But it just restarts and then i still dont have access to change any settings

smithjordan2196 wrote: But it just restarts and then i still dont have access to change any settings How are you trying to access the thing after the reset? Disconnect it from everything and plug it into a PC that is also connected to nothing else. Then you should be able to use the usual access methods. They will not work if it is on the same network as something else.

You will have to find the new Ip address of that router. Typically the way to do this is to log into the router that isn't bridged and go to the attached devices find the other router's IP address and then put that IP address in your web browser. That should prompt you with the login for the R7450.

    ok if you do not have another router plugged in you can try this. I linked how to find your default gateway that will be the IP address you want to use.
