Can't access the Router Login page (again)
Background: I am a Microsoft and Cisco certified network engineer for many years and configured thousands of modems/routers/switches etc etc. Bought a new X6 R8000 router and did a factory reset ...
Ok finally got to the login page by connecting to the 5GHz band. Put in 192.168.1.1 and the router asked login name and password. Used the default login info to log in and immediately flashed DD-WRT and all good now. Still strongly suggest Netgear remove the restrictions for login from Ethernet which is unnecessary.
Is the R7000 set up in AP mode? If so, then that could be the problem. Check on the AC56U's device list for the IP of the R7000 and use that IP Address and you can then access the Router with it. Wireless accesses the R7000 because they are on its network only I guess?
