[Nighthawk R6700v3] cannot access
Hello, I am going to be honest but I am really starting to hate netgear products. This is the most frustrating piece of hardware that I have from them and it is driving me completely crazy. F...
192.168.1.1 is the default router IP ? I mapped it to something else 192.168.0.180. If I go there after setting up wifi 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz + reboot, I am usually redirected to a page to configure the admin password with security questions and then I can access it and configure the wifi guest. Now I am just redirected to https://www.routerlogin.net/genie_index.htm which gives me a 404 (the error I have in my initial message).
I must have been doing the same steps 10-15 times in the last 3 years because this router doesn't save the configuration. I never had this problem before.
I have my normal router (network provider) and then I have the nighthawk that I use as an access point where I have all the wifi (2.4Ghz, 5Ghz, guest wifi that I use for IoT devices). I am normally wired to my network provider router unless I have to setup the nighthawk when I just change the network cable from the main router to the nighthawk.
I tried to use firefox, chrome, edge. I just can't reach the admin page to setup the admin password with any of them after the first setup (wifi) + forced reboot.
It looks to me that the redirection is wrong. What's the main page that should be accessed on the nighthawk because 192.168.0.180 redirects me to 192.168.0.180/start.htm then https://www.routerlogin.net/genie_index.htm where I get the 404
I recommend doing the factory reset and setup from scratch with the web browser and use the default IP address 192.168.1.1.
Is there a router in front of the R6700?
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Hello, thanks for the help. For my personal information, what will change with the default IP ? This never caused a problem before. I can still reach the 192.168.0.180, I defined that setup in my normal router with the MAC address of the nighthawk but sure, I can remove that configuration.
There is a router, yes. It is the router from the internet provider VOO in Belgium. I just use the nighthawk as an access point.
If the firmware is available in the iOS application nighthawk, I can check in 8-9h when I am home. I can't reach the router web page so I won't be able to see this information if it is not in the app I think.
To be honest, I am used to do this procedure because the NG doesn't save the configuration... there is just something different now. :/
What IP address string does the ISP router use? 192.168.0.x?
