"routerlogin.net" keeps saying I must be connected to my router's WiFi, even though I am
I was having connectivity issues with my Verizon Fios router. They sent out a technician and the problem was fixed. After my netgear wifi router was reset, I attempted to go to "www.routerlogin.com" ...
- Feb 22, 2017There was a white cable running from the FIOS to the NetGear. It's showed in the old pictures. The new pictures is how it's currently configured and it's worked like a dream since the removal of the white cable.
So to anyone with the same issues as mine, check your cables and make sure there aren't extras. All that's needed is the Ethernet cable connecting the FIOS router to the NetGear and the plug in from the NetGear to the outlet. Make sure you reset when removing a stray, unnecessary cable. It worked for me.

My router and computer are connected by an Ethernet cable. My computer is connected to the wifi and the internet works perfectly. But that message still pops up when going to that site.

my observation is that routers associate with one web UI address or the other..if your router works with routerlogin.com, it won't work with routerlogin.net
i have a R8000 (X6) with 10.0.0.1 IP and it works with routerlogin.net. My R9000 (X10) on the other hand has 198.162.1.1 works with routerlogin.com. if i try to login to the router UI on routerlogin.net while connected to the X10, i get the same error message

Netgear says that sometimes a router will adopt that address if it sees a conflict with the modem.Or, in the manual's words:
The default IP address for the router is http://192.168.1.1. If the modem router detects a conflict with a WAN IP address, it changes its IP address to 10.0.0.1 or 172.16.5.1.
That's why you have to start a network in the right order.
Sequence to Restart Your Network
- Turn off and unplug the modem.
- Turn off the modem router and computers.
- Plug in the modem and turn it on. Wait 2 minutes.
- Turn on the modem router and wait 2 minutes.
- Turn on the computers.
The easiest way to find the correct IP address is to use ipconfig in Windows.
