R7000 goes straight to http://192.168.1.1/MNU_access_setRecovery_index.htm
Hi all - I stupidly upgraded my firmware using wifi instead of flashing it manually (which I'll do from now on!) since I rebooted post-upgrade, it lets me use my username/password for router security...
That looks like the same serial number as on the label.

Still wondering.
Any ideas? I've answered all your questions to the best of my knowledge. Did I miss any?
I'm using the default creds which the router admin window accepts then it sends me to a page asking for the router serial, which I enter correctly and it gives an error message saying "162.168.1.1 says The serial number entered does not match the value on the router, try again" (sic). Are we stalemated here?
