AC2000 802.11ac Wireless Access Point/Router WAC124
Note: If the access point/router can reach its DNS server only over the Internet (for
example, the IP address of the DNS server is 8.8.8.8), you cannot use
http://www.routerlogin.net. However, if the DNS server is the IP address of the
router to which the access point/router connects but the router's Internet connection
is down, you can use http://www.routerlogin.net because the access point/router
can still reach the router.
• Your network includes another NETGEAR device that is also accessible by using
http://www.routerlogin.net. In such a situation, if you use
http://www.routerlogin.net, you might log in to the access point/router or you
might log in to the other NETGEAR device, depending on your network situation.
In these situations, use the IP address that was assigned to the access point/router by
your existing router during the setup process (see Connect the access point/router to
another router and log in for the first time on page 23) to log in to the local browser
interface of the access point/router.
If you do not know the IP address that was assigned to the access point/router, use one
of the following options to find the IP address of the access point/router:
• Only if the access point/router is connected to the Internet, do one of the following:
