"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" ...
- There 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.
I tried to type my router number (gateway default) into the browser. It took me to Verizon and I logged in, changed my SSID, but I couldn't figure out how to change the password. It created another wifi that I can use, but it didn't change the name of my NetGear router. So that wasn't helpful.
As for the wiring, I'm connecting wirelessly. I even tried to disconnect my Verizon router from my Netgear but that still didn't fix the issue (so I reconnected).
And let me just say, I was so desperate to get this fixed that I called the NetGear customer "service". They asked me for information only to tell me that they wanted to charge me in order to help me. I already paid a bunch for this router (that works fine, I just can't change the name) and I wasn't going to pay more.

Almost every modem supplied by a isp has a router in it today.
