Unable to connect to the internet and routerlogin.net won't display
I have a new AC1750 (R6700 v3) router that I'm trying to set up and I'm running into issues which I'm not sure are related or not. The router does not connect to the internet even after performing th...
My 'solution' was to just purchase another router. Everything I tried to fix the Nighthawk router failed.
What is the brand name and model number of the modem/gateway/ONT that is connected upstream between your R6700 and the internet?
When you changed out your router, did you power down your network (pull the power cords) and restart it in sequence? The sequence is to power up the modem/gateway/ONT first, wait until it is complete and the internet indicator is illuminated before restarting your R6700.
Hi. I believe that I have a Verizon FiOS Nokia G-211M ONT.
When I changed out the router I initially just moved the ethernet cable from my old router to the new one. After I realized that there was a problem I performed the network restart that is in the manual but waited more than the stated two minutes. The ONT was fully back when I proved power back to the router. The internet LED is white so it should be connected but isn’t.
Is the 192.168.1.1 page on the router or on the internet? It is my understanding that the page in on the router so even though I cannot access the internet I should still be able to access the 192.168.1.1 page.

Did you reset the router?

Which devices are you using to check?
You describe this as a "new" R6700v3. Did you buy it new? (It is now six years old as a model, based on an original from 2014.) I ask this to rule out any chance that you have acquired a dud second hand router.

It is the local IP address for your router. If you can't get at it, then you may have a local network problem or the device is bust.
How are you trying to get in? What happens?
I did reset the router by pressing the reset button for 30 seconds. I didn’t do the reset are part of the network restart however.
The LED was on one on the router
I’m using a Windows 10 computer, an Android phone, and a Chromebook to check. None of the devices work.
I bought the router (new) in late 2021 off of Amazon but didn’t try to use it until now.
192.168.1.1 is shown as being the default gateway when I use ipconfig so that is what I have been using to try to access the router login page. The router does successfully respond to the ping 192.168.1.1 command and doesn’t drop any packets. I’ve tried using routerlogin.net and htt[://routerlogin.net to get to the router login page. All I get is a blank browser screen regardless of what device I use.
Hi,
Did you ever figure out how to access the router? I'm trying to access the router using 192.168.1.1 and routerlogin.net but it gets 'stuck' at what appears to be a blank page that has the address: 192.168.1.1/start.htm?>>bunch of alphanumericcharacters
Different browsers doesn't work
Hard / factory reset doesn't work
Cleaning Browser Cache doesn't work
Tried connecting wirelessly and also through ethernet cable: neither worked.
If you, or anyone, can provide an update on how to fix this, I would deeply appreciate it.
