Netgear Login Not Working After Reset: Fixed
1.
Connect Router to Modem
Properly
If the Netgear router login is not working then it is possible that the connection between the router and the modem is not good. You should try fixing this connection and then try logging in. So, if it is an Ethernet connection between the devices, then examine the entire length of the cable for it may be damaged and hence the connection is unstable. Replace the cable if it has any cuts on it. Another point that you need to check is that the cable is not loose at any end. Finally, check that the correct ports are put to use to establish connectivity between the devices.
2.
Connect to Router’s
Network
When you want to log into your router’s admin panel,
it is necessary that the device that you are using to access the Nighthawk
login page should be connected to the router’s network. This is because
the login URL of the router is not a regular website. You can only connect to
it when you are connected to the local network.
Thus, make sure that you have connected your computer or laptop, or mobile phone to the router's WiFi. If it is a computer or laptop, then you can use an Ethernet cable if the WiFi is not getting connected.
3.
Use the IP Address
Are you using Netgear router login URL routerlogin.net to log in? We suggest you use the default IP address instead of the URL. At times the URL may not take you to the login page. Using the IP address can be helpful in such scenarios.
4.
Reboot the Router
There is a possibility that your Netgear router simply needs some rest. Not being able to log in to the router can also be due to over-usage of the router. Rebooting will help here. Power off the router and unplug its power cable. After waiting for some 5 minutes or so, plug it back and switch it on. Try to log in to its admin panel now to see if the issue has been fixed or not.

all the hacks given above? Looks like you haven’t factory
