Possible other causes:
- your computer isn't connected to the unknown Netgear router
- your computer is connected to a different network, for example your ISP router WLAN
- your computer is connected to some VPN service
- your computer is configured for some secured DNS/protected DNS/encryped DNS service
Hello?
None of the solutions resolved this issue. I am still unable to access my router.
Isn’t there a simpler way to solve this issue? Hasn’t anyone thought these steps are far too complex than what should be needed?

"simpler" than _what_?
Probably answering the simple question from above would give us an idea on how to assist:
" Does "Router" have a model number? Look for "Model" on the product label."
The short cut would be a factory reset, and re-configure the router from scratch - permitting you have all data probably required, eg. in case the ISP requires any authentication.
