Cannot access R8000 controls after firmware upgrade
Upgraded to Firmware V1.0.3.26_1.1.18. Ever since the upgrade, I cannot get into the router settings. Netgear Genie on an Windows 10 machine (connnected via ethernet cable) lets me get to the "home screen" but if I try to log in I get a message "NETGEAR router is not found or is not supported. Also make sure the device is not connected to the guest network of the router and no IPv6 in enabled." I get the same message on a Window 7 machine connected via wifi (not the guest). (All I can see is the network map & internet traffic before it asks me to log in, then I get this message when the login screen loads.) Tried the http://routerlogin.net, http://192.168.1.1, and http://192.168.0.1 on both windows 10 (Edge and Chrome) and windows 7 (explorer and chrome). All 4 browser versions say the site cannot be reached. Also tried netgear genie on 2 different android devices, both had worked previously. When I try to log in, the "please wait" spinner just goes around and around. (update, after 5 minutes+, the same message above comes up on android device) I've power cycled the router. I have not done a factory reset. If I do and it won't let me in, it's game over. Any suggestions?!Solved5.2KViews0likes2Comments
