No WIFI and no access to router
Hello, I tried to acces to router by normal procedure (www.routerlogin.net) but I was redirected to your site pages. Then I decided to download your app on my phone trying to find a way to block...
Thank's for your help
Finaly, problem acces solved : to log in I used the IP adress given by the Android Nighthawk apps.
But I am ashtonised by documentation. The userguide dont speak about this problem. How can we identifiy the IP adress without the Android application ( application wich was not available when I bought the product) ? Does it mean I will have to identify the iP adress each time I will have to login ?
Your footer now says C7000. That's a Modem Router. If you are using that with a R7000 that is asking for trouble.
If it isn't a C7000, as plemans said earlier, it would still be a good idea to tell people what the modem bits is. The description "modem/router (internet box : "freebox revolution")" could be anything. Does it have a make and model number?
Which "device is only used for wifi"? If you mean the R7000, and your modem is also a router, then you could make life easier by putting the R7000 into wireless access point mode.

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
The manual has a section on putting it into "AP mode".
The symptoms you describe are consistent with having two routers confusing each other.
Two routers on your network can cause headaches. For example, you can end up with local address problems. Among other things, the other router can misdirect addresses that the Netgear router usually handles, such as routerlogin.net or the usual IP address for a router, 192.168.1.1.
This explains some of the other drawbacks.
