Netgear R7000 not letting me login after putting it on AP mode
Hi,
I remember first installing the R7000, I was displayed with either AP mode (not sure if that was what it was called) or regular mode. I chose AP mode, as I had slower connections on regular mode. Now that there have been so many updates, I want to update my R700 for security purposes.
However, I am unable to do so, as everytime I try 192.168.0.1 or routerlogin.com. I am taken to my modems menu and not my netgear R7000 menu. The modem is a Netgear CG3000-2STAUS (Yes Optus provided modem).
I've looked through many articles that have been suggested to me; however, none of them have address my issue. I tried restting both the modem and router, and when I do, all my devices are still connected to the router. Everything is the same and nothing changes when I try to reset.
I hope there is an answer out there, tecnical support via telephone has passed, and so has the warranty.

- Log into the CG3000 and find the IP address for the R7000. Use that IP address to log into the R7000.
Hi,
I logged into my modem and went into the network map, but cannot seem to find my router. I already know the ip address to my router, typed it up and searched but would get "This site can't be reached".
I'm still able to connect to my router's wifi and still get internet access :/
When you enabled AP Mode on the Nighthawk, you will have been given the option to set the IP address using either DHCP or manually. The default option is DHCP. If you left it that way, then the Nighthawk will be assigned an IP address by your modem. And it will likely be a different address than what it used to be when the Nighthawk was in router mode.
