unable to access routerlogin.net/.com
Router: R8000P Firmware Version: V1.4.1.68_1.3.28 I am unable to access the routers login page (routerlogin.net) and am being redirected to "https://www.netgear.com/home/services/routerlogincom....

Sorry for the delayed reply. for a period of time, i was for some reason, unable to login to the forum here. anyways, here are some updates:
my ISP (local phone company) finally upgraded the lines and made 10mbps/1mbps speeds available. naturally I upgraded to the higher speed as soon as I could. Uodates to the windows 10/Edge Browser seem to have solved the issue. there have been several updates to the router firmware, but they don't seem to have been the cause of the fix.
for future reference (for me mostly) my modem does have a built in router, but the feautures have mostly been disabled, since I asked them the ISP to do so since i was using my own router. this being said, there are other ports on the modem being used, one of the other ports is being used for the innomedia phone box that gives my house landline access. The modem's Wi-Fi functions have been disabled. the modem model is listed below. the speeds are still two bonded lines getting combined into one, but now instead of tow 3mbps lines, it's 2 5mbps lines to make 10mbps. it still irritates me that litterally around 50 feet away in cul-de-sac before us they have access to 50 Mbps and we are stuck with only 10. but not much I can do abput that.
Modem model: Comtrend: Nexuslink 5630u

Ok so if you can access 192.168.1.1 this is same as routerlogin.net. The mention of 10.someting address was an alternative address if yoru router detected the router in front of it using 192.168.1.1, the router would auto change from 192.168.1.1 to 10.0.0.1. But its not.
What browser are you using?

currently I am using Microsoft Edge Version 94.0.992.50 (Official build) (64-bit). I do use Internet Explorer 11 as my back-up browser, but that IE11 has been increasingly not working on various sites. this is probably due to the looming out of support for IE from MS, among other things. I will have to eventually choose another browser as a backup. my old choice pre windows 10, used to be Chrome, but now that Edge and Chrome are running off of the same underlying code Op[era(chromium) it dows not make sense to me to use chrome as the backup browser. maybe Safari for windows or Opera maybe?

I use Opera and also FireFox which I believe FF is not chromimum based.
I enjoy Opera GX greatly. Mainly use Edge for FW updates and most router management configurations though.

really? it was my understanding that firefox had jumped onto the chromium bandwagon. i will do some double checking myself again on that.

looks like i was wrong. I have never been happier to have been wrong. so i guess i will eventually use firefox as a backup browser. this is good news for me.
