"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 also just attempted this as well:
-Disconnected all cables on both Verizon and NetGear routers.
-Turned on Verizon router and waited until all lights lit up solid white.
-Turned on NetGear WITHOUT plugging in the Ethernet cable. I let it boot up.
-Turned on the computer and connected to NetGear network.
-The internet worked without NetGear being connected to Verizon, but the Router Login page still said I wasn't connected to the Routers wifi network and searching the default IP address in a browser simply timed out (said "Safari can't open the page" -- also tried it on Firefox and same thing happened).

saying everything is connected in the correct order are you using wifi or lan to connect the netgear router?
If lan the the netgear acting a access point the isp modem/router would answer.
Is the wireless turned off on the isp issue router?
1 a lan or tv cable to the isp router/modem to it's wan(internet) port
2 a lan cable to the netgear router wan(internet)port from a lan port on the isp modem/router
3 Any other lan cables from the lan ports of the netgear to where ever they run
4 Wifi for wireless devices from the netgear router
If both wifi's were on the same ssid and passphrease the router would close together to work on wifi even if they were 15 feet a part they would see the other router's wifi.
