I tried to set up a repeater Wifi connection from my phones Hotspot to router WNDR4500. (There is limited help instructions for setting up repeater so not supprised I messed it up) Using the 5ghz Wifi connection, I was prompted to change the wifi security to None, and channel to 161 in wifi setup. In Repeater base setup, changed wirless repeater IP address 192.169.1.161 and used the MAC address of my phone connection. After applying router, the connection did not work, and now I can not login to the router anymore, When I try to login to htpp;//routerlogin.net, it defaults to Netgear web page that says I am not connected to my wifi network even though I can connedt to the router's wifi. I can still connect and use the router's WiFi connections 2.4 and 5ghz with phone and laptops useing my wied Sattelite connection to get online, but can not login to router. Tried unpluging, and router reset on the back of the the router with NO change. Can I reset the router to factory defaults somehow?

Push the reset button for about 8 to 10 seconds until the lights flash off and on.

Re: WNDR4500 repeater setup mistake, now can not login to router
Thanks, I managed to get to reset after searching for topic, reset to factory defaults, I must have not been holding the reset button long enough!
