Troubleshooting for when the NETGEAR login page will not load: the right addresses to try, browser fixes, wired connections and power cycling, ending with a factory reset as a last resort.

Quick steps

Join the router's Wi-Fi and open routerlogin.net, or try 192.168.1.1 / 192.168.0.1
Clear browser cache or try another browser or a wired connection
Power cycle the router and modem
Factory reset only if nothing else works
