You Cannot Log In To The Router - NETGEAR Nighthawk RS700 User Manual

If the WiFi LED stays off, check to see if someone disabled the WiFi radios from the
router web interface. The WiFi LED is lit when the WiFi radios are turned on.

You cannot log in to the router

If you are unable to log in to the router from a computer or mobile device on your local
network, check the following:
• If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the cable connection
between the computer and the router.
• If you are using a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device, check the WiFi connection
between the computer or mobile device and the router. Make sure that your computer
or mobile device is not connected to a different router or gateway's WiFi network
that uses the same network name.
• Make sure that you are using the correct login information. The user name is admin.
The password is the one thatyou specified when you set up your router. (The default
password is password.) The user name and password are case-sensitive. Make sure
that Caps Lock is off when you enter this information.
• Try quitting the browser and launching it again.
• Make sure that JavaScript is enabled in your browser.
• Make sure that the IP address of your computer or mobile device is in the same
subnet as the router. If you are using the recommended addressing scheme, the IP
address of your computer or mobile device is in the range of 192.168.1.2 to
192.168.1.254.
• If the IP address of your computer or mobile device is shown as 169.254.x.x, the
computer or mobile device could not reach the router's DHCP server and the
Windows or Mac operating system generated an IP address itself. Such an
autogenerated IP address is in the range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this
range, check the connection from the computer or mobile device to the router, and
restart your computer or mobile device.
• If your router's IP address was changed and you do not know the current IP address,
clear the router's configuration to factory defaults and disconnect the Ethernet cable
from the Internet port. This sets the router's IP address to 192.168.1.1.
