R6400 - Failed to Login 'admin' webpage using Correct Password
Today I tried to login www.routerlogin.net using 'admin' A/C. After inputting the correct password, I failed to login. After reboot the router, I could login using the same password. Then I update...
Tonight, I used another notebook to test the admin password. It worked.
Then I turned back to the original notebook which has admin login issue. I tried all browsers. All have the same issue, i.e. correct password but failed to login. It proved it is not browser issue.
I have installed Avira antivirus software. I don't know whether the software concerns. I restored back the old system image I made on Apr 2020. After restoring the system to Apr image, the issue could be solved. That image does not have installed Avira, but Norton Antivirus.
Restoring old system can solve this issue. Was my system hacked?
At last I changed the admin password to a new one. The new password works too.
I have password manager installed. I stored all my passwords there, including all my previous netgear admin passwords. It always works.
I used Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Firefox. All not works. Only the first time login after router reboot works. Subsequent login failed.
