routerlogin does not ask for username and password
Hi. Last week I bought the Nighthawk X6 R8000. It's working great so far, with just one problem. Whenever I visit routerlogin.net on my internet browser, I don't get the prompt asking for my usern...
Hi rikeo,
Try reloading the firmware and perform a factory reset. Manually reconfigure the router instead of loading the backup file.
Hi rikeo,
I tried enabling the ReadyCloud of my R7000 and then logged out on the UI. When I access the UI I still get a prompt asking for a username and password.
By the way, what are the browsers you have tried accessing the UI? If ReadyCloud is not configured after the reset, will it ask for a username and password?
Try downgrading the firmware or reload the same firmware then do a factory reset.
I took the time today to do some experiments. I've downgraded, and upgraded, with no luck. I even resetted to factory defaults. It then started to ask for the credentials every 5 minutes of inactivity in routerlogin.net (like it's supposed to). I then proceded to set up ReadyCloud, and it would no longer ask for a username and password. I resetted, went straight to setting up ReadyCloud, and the routerlogin authentication was gone for good until I hard reset. I have the R8000. Must be a bug in this specific model. The issue affects multiple browsers (I've tried Chrome and Firefox).
