New R7000P will not get to password prompt
After I set up my router, I on to it to change the default password. I entered the default password, but then I was aked to answer secret questions that I never chose before - default questions? "What's your younger sister's name?" So I did a reset on the router. Thereafter, Win 10 found the networks (low/high). One network displayed Connected no Internet. When I disconnected/connected, I never got past the checking connection window, and then nothing. And I can't log in to the router, either. So, what next?
