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, 192.168.1.1 192.168.01 192.168.10...
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.
Keep MS Edge on your radar for a good browser that works with NG routers if your a MS WIndows user.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

If so, you might mark it solved so others aren't still trying to fix it
