Re: STILL Unable to update my Nighthawk r8000p to version 1.4.1.66_1.3.26
And netgear sadly doesn't give a **bleep** about their customers. There are multiple threads about this and not a single tech support person on one to offer help. They're a disgusting company and I'm never buying a router from them after I have enough money to get a new one.

"STILL"? Is there something you're not telling us?
"Unable" is not a useful problem description. It does not say what you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual, showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.

"same" as _what_? See "not a useful problem description [...]", above.

Is there anything in any of this vague mess which suggested that "logging into the router" was the actual problem?
Everyone might waste less time if someone/anyone would provide a better problem description.

Not really. "routerlogin.com" is a DNS name which a Netgear router should resolve to its own LAN IP address, which, for a model Rxxxx, would typically be "192.168.1.1" (which _is_ an IP[v4] address). (But it could be different.) "DNS name" and "IP address" are spelled differently for a reason.
An IP[v4] address is a 32-bit number, usually written as "a.b.c.d", where "a", "b", "c", and "d" are decimal values in the range [0, 255]. A DNS name is (nearly arbitrary) text string. They're usually pretty easy to distinguish.
It might, if there's a problem with the router's DNS server, or if you're using some other DNS server. Whether it would make a difference in this case (these cases?) would depend on what's actually happening, which remains an enigma. As suggested above, one or more useful problem descriptions might spare everyone from pointless speculation into irrelevant matters.
