Ordered this Nighthawk xr500 on eBay and instantly ran into trouble. When I started the router, it asked for user and password I put in the default. admin for user and "password" for password. Didnt work so it sent me to the password reset feature. Since I did not set a previous password and did not know the sequrity questions I self reset. I held the button for 15 seconds Lights Flashed and all but again ran into the same isdue i even attempted a "hard reset" going for the 30-30-30 reset and still the same problem occured. I i looked up Hard Reset but all say the same thing . I have reset multiple times using the simple 10 second hold to the 30-30-30 and none have worked and his wifi usename still appear in the netwok i am at a loss of what to do and I am regretting ever buying this router. Please Help Someone...
Generally 30 seconds is how long you need to hold it down for a proper reset, then wait 2 minutes then access and try. If not then good advice above for TFTP.
