Nighthawk X8 R8500

The router was turned off and back on and when it came back up I could NOT connect to any of the SSID's. I tried to connect to all of the various router addresses, 192.168.1.1

192.168.01

192.168.100.1

I know I configured it originally by connecting to 192.168.1.1 now all I get is the 404 Error, File or Directory NOT Found

I do have the original SSID working, NETGEAR35 and I'm connected to the internet. I just can't log into the router so I can configure it.

 

Any suggestions?

    What modem/gateway is it connected to? 

    did you try a factory reset and reinstall?

    You said the internet is working? you mean wired devices work?

      Wireless was working with the NETGEAR35 SSID, but I could not connect so I could setup SSID's that I wanted. Didn't matter if I hard wired into the router or via wireless on the NETGEAR35 ssid.

       

      I cleared cache, cookies and browser history on my device and still could not get logged into the router.  So I tried Firefox instead of Chrome and that worked for me. I was able to configure the router the way I wanted it setup and I could use Chrome again to access as well as Firefox.

       

      Thanks for the assistance.
