23 TopicsCannot access my router settings (log-in) in any way (factory reset'd several times)
Hey everyone, before I start I want to apologize if this is not the correct section to post this thread. The router I currently own is this one (click here) and I simply cannot access my router settings (routerlogin.com or 192.168.1.1) I do get the text box to input my username : password but all the login infos I've looked up in google won't work. Text Box I get to see. I tried multiple sites to check for login info and none work, one of those being this huge "2018 updated" list: https://www.lifewire.com/netgear-default-password-list-2619154 At the beggining I thought it could be my router messing stuff around because sometimes I got a message saying "Your conenction is not secure" so I tried on MS Edge and then on Firefox, no luck either. I decided to contact ISP, blah, blah, for security reasons they cannot give me admin : password (not sure why?) [My ISP provided me this Netgeat router, I didn't buy it by myself]. Anyhow I did not care about what they said because I used to have TrendNET router and could access to my router settings with no interference from them; the next big step I did was holding the little "factory reset" until the power light started to blink (Not sure if it's held more time it might do something). After factory reset I got the default SSID and PW of the network, I logged in, and had to "log-in" to the network, the only thing it said was the SSID and PW I already knew and 2 buttons, one was to print all the info and the other one to proceed and "activate" the internet. Tried all the possible combinations of admin : password after factory reset and no luck either, no I'm stuck with a SSID called "SureWest-f1" instead of the custom SSID I want. I remember once after a while (because I gave up and submitting a live chat here required a proof of purchase which I don't have because like I mentioned before, my ISP gave this to me) I remember attempting to factory reset it again like 4+ times, and only ONE of them allowed me to access the router info, I had like 3 options to choose, continue with net, configure settings, etc. (instead of the print thing screen I mentioned before) but amazingly unlucky me something happened and after settings everything I wanted, the save button or whatever it was simply didn't work, didn't have connection anymore, had to factory reset again and since then I haven't ever been able to access my router settings apart from that lucky try. (Not exactly sure WHAT I did that one time, maybe I held the factory reset button longer? Who knows..) I'd really like to access my router settings to change SSID how I want, custom password, and doing some port-forwarding. Please any help is appreciated, my ISP just won't help me, they're limiting me what to do with my OWN router.SolvedWifi extender EX6150v2 connection problems Help!
Hi, We have used this extender successfully for several months. We recently upgraded to NBN so have a new wifi router. We have followed video and connected it to new router using Ethernet cable. The Netgear extender is connected via Ethernet cable in our shed. When we try to connect to it, it picks up our correct wifi network but when we enter the wifi password it says we cannot join! What do we do?721Views0likes1CommentEX2700 i cant remember login or security answers

Since the update from the old Genie App (purple one) to this blue one I've been unable to turn the guess account on and off from my app. When I swipe it across then push save to change settings it says " unable to change settings. My router model is DGND3700v2. I am able to enable and disable guest account on my PC computer but not the Genie app anymore. Please help as I loved this app when it was the old version, it worked so well. Look forward to your reply. Many thanks, Paula.2.6KViews0likes1CommentCompatibility Issues

I apologize if this is asked and answered somewhere in this maze of a website, but I have been going in circles for 30 minutes trying to find the simplest of answers: how? The other day, I was at work and the router needed rebooting. No one was home except for my wife and she didn't know how to do it. Finally, in desperation, I told her just to unplug the thing, wait 30 seconds or so, and plug it back in. When I dowloaded Genie, I saw something about "Access your router from anywhere". So I thought it might be a good idea to learn how to do it, in case we had another problem and I was at work, I would know exactly what to do. So tonight I came here to do a little research. Little is the key word, because I can find precious little information on how to do it. I can't even find the freaking login page, I don't know if there is a login page, or if I'm supposed to access my router from the Genie program. So, I'm asking that someone give me a "Remote Access For Dummies" lesson. I have a laptop computer, Windows 10, with Netgear Genie installed on it. Obviously, I have created a Netgear account, or I wouldn't be typing this right now. Also, if I can do this on my phone, I do have the Netgear Genie installed on it as well. It is an Android phone, an LG G4 to be exact. Anyone who would like to tackle this, or at least point me in the right direction would be my hero. Thank you.Solved6.7KViews0likes2CommentsR6300v2
