Netgear WNR2000v2 - Cannot login

Hello, I currently have a WNR2000v2 router. I need to port forward something to my PC but I cannot seem to authenticate in.

 

You can see this in the GIF: https://gyazo.com/66de7a3d46eb225173f79ab4feaea325

 

I have verified that the password is correct, and I performed a factory reset on it (by poking a pencil in the reset button) but with no luck.

There are no errors, but it is literally putting me through a login loop which is rather frustrating.

 

Any help would be great - thanks.

  • Perhaps the router is not fully resetting itself.

    Try to use a paper clip. If the same thing happens, it could be a hardware problem.

    By the way, did you try to use a different computer and a browser?

      I have tried it on Chrome and Internet Explorer on my main PC and laptop without any luck.

       

      I will attempt to fully reset my router again but with a paper clip.
