reset remote

Trying to reset router remotely.

I have password but when I enter admin and  the password it takes me to a screen asking for the router serial number not to a reset option.

I dont have the serial # at remote site to enter.

Help please.

   "Trying" _how_, exactly?  Why?  Did it stop working properly?

   "enter admin and the password" into _what_?  What, exactly, are you
doing, from what, where, connected to what, how?

 

   Generally, these routers ask for a serial number as part of a
password-recovery scheme (which does not always work).  Which suggests
that you're providing a bad password.

   Have you used "app" successfully before?

Re: reset remote

Using Nighthawk app on phone was trying to access my R7000.

I am at a remote location on T-Mobil network not home wo-fi.

 

Says wifi not detected so I tap connect via anywhere access.

Header comes up says Your Product

below shows pic of router and a red dot next to R7000

Says Disconnected

and list serial # of unit

 

If I touch the red tot reply at bottom of phone screen says Device is Offline.

 

Can not do anything else.
