unable to directly connect to my nighthawk r7000.
i have tryed to connect using 192.168.1.1 as well as http://www.routerlogin.net
for the number it just times out again and again, for the router login, it says 'your not connected to the wifi...

("192.168.1.1") to that alternate is, most likely, that you connected it
to some other router (which was already using the "192.168.1.*" subnet).> To what did you connect the WAN/Internet port of the R7000?
Still wondering.
Cascading multiple routers can cause multiple problems.

Without knowing what your mystery device (modem/router?) is, it's
tough to give more specific advice.

Welcome to what may be the worst error message in the world. For an
explanation, try:

Briefly, the idea is that "[www.]routerlogin.net" (or ".com") should
point to your own router, but that's true only if you use your own
router for DNS name resolution. Regardless, you should be able to get
to the thing using its IP address, if you can determine (or guess) that.
Normally, that would be something like "192.168.1.1", but it could be
different.

Then either that's not the LAN IP address of the R7000, or its
management web server had died (possible, but unlikely).
> i have no issues connecting to my wifi etc [...]
Does "etc" include a wired/Ethernet connection?
What is the IP address of one of these successfully connected
devices? What does it say that its gateway/router address is?
To what did you connect the WAN/Internet port of the R7000? That
could affect its LAN IP address, especially if you connected it to some
other router (which was already using the "192.168.1.*" subnet).
thank you. mine it seems is 10.0.0.1 vs the normal one listed online. ;> it let me using that

basically i have it connected to the att internet router box. i am using my personal router for wifi and connection instead of theirs for the ability to control / lockout people on the wifi, and to make it easier for me to share the connection with the freinds i wish to do so. basically its 'internet line into the house into the att router, to my router to my computer all cable connected (nothing like frying them all if i get a ground lighting strike in the right spot right? :>)
that and theres has a very low level of connectivity where as the nighthawk has more connections available
