[dba-Tech] NetGear NightHawk Router

[Jon Tydda]

I've got a Nighthawk router, and I really like it. It wants me to register
for all sorts of things, but you don't need any of them.

The best way to access it is via a laptop, rather than the phone app, you
can do so much more on the laptop.

Just go to www.routerlogin.net and it should take you to the logon page. If
it's the first time you've done that, the credentials should be on a label
on the router.

I hope somebody on this list has figured this one out.

Because my main router is starting to fail, I bought a new one to replace
it. But, oh boy, am I having trouble.

Monday - I have it all set up and I've power cycled my modem. Hook it up and
everything cycles in except it never gets to the Internet. Called tech
support at my ISP; they said they had to make an adjustment at their end,
and that it should all work in about another fifteen minutes. 
No, it did not work. A tech was coming the next day to take care of a cable
problem, so it was agreed he would take a look at the new router, too.

When I told him what kind of router it is, he said he'd run into them before
and that they are a little tricky because they require registration before
they can access the Internet. We looked through the setup together and could
not find any way to get this thing connected.

I have the NightHawk app downloaded on my phone, but it can't get through to
register the router, either - it finds no Internet.

What the heck! Maybe, if I keep the old router connected, log into the new
router, use the phone app to register, while there is an Internet connection
through the old router - could that work?

Has anybody here dealt with this thing? It seems like a device that requires
a connection in order to register so that it can have a connection. That's
goofy!

Thanks for any help,

T
