R8000 password does not protect
Hello, Curious problem. Upon changing router password on my Nighthawk R8000, my tablet can still use two of the three icons to use the network. Powered off the tablet and brought it back up and i...
This is the usual way of accessing your device.
Just point your browser at one of these addresses:
http://www.routerlogin.com/
or
http://www.routerlogin.net
If they don't work, then the IP address might be an option. Here the usual suspects are:
http://192.168.0.1
or
http://192.168.1.1
Check the manual, which you can get here:

This explains what to do.
Okay, my tablet is a Samsung. Parent's tablet has the ability to do the same thing, their tablet is an LG. They are/were able to access the network without logging in. Is this a concern? Is the router protected? Is the network?
Thanks.
Did you change the PW for all wifi SSID names? Besure to try and forget or delete prior used profiles on your devices then set up the new connection again. Change the SSID name and PW on all radios to something unique between each radio so you know which one your connecting too.
Use WPA2 and AES only for best security.
Hmmm. No, I did not and that probably is the problem. I though quite simply that changing one changed all. I will do this immediately. Thank You!
Okay, I see where I can change the pw for Netgear65 2.4ghz...done. Additionally, I see where I can change the pw for Netgear65-5g-2 5.0ghz...done. How do I change the pw for Netgear65-5g-1 I do not see a tab for it?
Should be all on the same tab, scroll down further.
Hello, thanks for responding. There is no way to scroll there are only two tabs: one for 2.4ghz which is the "Netgear65" and I changed that password or 5.0ghz which is labeled as "Netgear65-5G-2 and I changed that password. Somewhere there should be a "Netgear65-5G-1" and until I can find a way to either remove or change the password it remains. How do I find or delete or change this?
