"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 unplugged the white cable and the Internet connection went down. I have no idea what the white cable is for but apparently it's important for Internet connection here.
You need to turn off your modem, your router and everything that connects to your network including cell phones. Then cable up the one cable from the routers yellow Internet port to the modem and connect all other cables to the router.
Then turn on the modem and let it boot up for 2 minutes.
Then turn on your router and let it boot up for 2 minutes.
And last of all you can turn on the devices that connect to your network giving each a little time for each one to boot up and get connected to the network.
