r7000 router can't reset and can't connect anymore.
Hi,
I just bought this router for bridging capabilities in my student apartment.
I connected it by wire and the first disapointment, I discovered you can't use security in bridge mode?!?!?!? ...
Well decided to RMA it back to the store. They somehow performed a firmware update (no idea how since I could not acces the interface).
It's working perfectly now.
Pretty weird though that this doesn't work out of the box.
Thnx all.
Had the exact same problem. Hard resets and turning power off and on didn't help. Finally I disabled wifi on all the devices that were previously connected to the router and then it let me log in to setup. Don't know if this was a coincidence or it actually won't let you log in if there's devices connected to it via wifi. Either way I can say the software is extremely backwards.
It might be a coincidence. The admin page should always be available to any device connected to the router.
In order to access it, your device should have an IP address that is in the same range of the router.
