routerlogin.net not working after disabling DHCP
Walked into a new account that was having internet troubles. Fixed the issue with their ISP. Found that there was a Netgear Nighthawk AX8, Model RAX75 "downstream" from the ISP modem. I also noticed ...

So well hidden that you might never guess the key...
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for
"Reset" and/or "Factory Settings".
When that's done, and you can again get to the management web site,
look in the User Manual for "Set up the router as a WiFi access point".
(That will, among other things, disable the DHCP server on the RAX75.)
