I got an email to updated my range extender so I connecg the cat5 and try to log in. next thing I know it says password reset succesfully, don't know how that happened, So I put the paswsword I had just used in, it said wrong password. tryed agian still said wrong password, I tried for over 30 minutes, tried everything I could to get gack in, with no luck. Out of desperaton, I reset the password on the router, still can't get in. Now when I try connect the cable and open the browser and go to 192.168.1:8080, it says "This page can't be displayed"
I don't know what model # or anything, there is not a sticker on it anywhere. Unless you can tell me where to look, that isn't obvious.
thanks for trying to help. Just let me know what else you need.
There's should be some sticker on it. Some have a pull out slat that has info on it. when you get that, you can go to netgear.com/support/ and type in that model number. it'll have install guides and manuals.
regardless, you can try factory resetting it to get back to default login info.
To reset: push and hold reset while its powered on. Its usually for 7-15 seconds. The lights should blink/change when you've held it long enough.
default login: admin
default password: password
they are case sensitive.
navigate to mywifiext . net when you're hardwired in. The address you listed isn't correct.
