    You should review this and maybe revert back to this recommended version of FW:

    I've looked here again after a while and I can't belive the problem is still not solved....

    Since I've flashed Tomato a few weeks ago I've forgotten that I have a router- it's working perfectly getting dust because i do not touch it at all :-)...

     

    Parental control works perfectly, 0 drops, strong signal - save your time and do a similar thing!

Hi

 

I've applied the latest 1.0.9.18 build .chk file via tftpd to revert to normal Netgear build from dd-wrt. However, whenever I browse to 192.168.1.1 the browser redirects me to http://www.routerlogin.net/genie_index.htm which of course doesn't connect as I haven't set the router up with WAN yet. 

 

Can someone please enlighten me as to how I can get to my router settings page so I can change IP address, WiFi passwords etc? Very strange how it tries to go to the internet.

Thanks

The NG firmware overrides the lookup for www.routerlogin.net and returns the router IP for it. If you are not using the router's DNS server it won't work. Just go directly to http://192.168.1.1, or whatever you have the router at.

    Hmm ok, thanks. I have been going straight to http://192.168.1.1 and it keeps redirecting me back. I'll try setting my DNS manually to that of 192.168.1.1

    Thanks
