Factory Reset NOT WORKING!

I have Netgear R6260 AC1600 and I have reset the mode like 100 times, pressed the reset button for 5 seconds, for 30 seconds, for 1 minute and stupid modem will not reset the admin password.  I cannot login to the modems default admin credentials.  I paid for a product and the most import part is that I should be able to setup the modem. So what am I doing wrong??

Re: Factory Reset NOT WORKING!

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for General Router products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with older routers and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

The R6260 is a router, NOT A MODEM! .

 

Pressing the Reset button for 10 seconds should work to reset the router. 

Besure to clear out all browser caches. Try a different browser. 

 

If not, try a 30-30-30 reset process. 


Please use this link to the main forum product list to review and choose where to make your posts.
