"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 an Ethernet cable from the NetGear to the computer and it didn't work for me.
The only thing I haven't tried is the suggestion of disconnecting the Ethernet from NetGear and doing a reset. I'm nervous that it'll mess with the Verizon router and we'll be back to where we were a few days ago (with no internet).

you should be able reset the netgear router with the lan cable disconnected from isp modem with causeing any problems.
If your internet is working and just the ssid and passphrease need to be change to what you want.
Why not call your isp and let set them to you want that way if they mess it up they have to fix it.
I seem to recall that is what started this posting after they setup the modem and router for you.
Yes in the very first posting you tried to change your password back and get the message about the wifi.
Not passing the issue off on to someone else but the isp knows their modem/router and what changes to make it work right without making poster lose internet service.
