Ok. I want to connect this router to a cable modem. Upon entering
http://192.168.1.1 into the browser, a point in which you would hope to
be prompted with a login screen, the stupid bloody thing immediately
redirects to http://www.routerlogin.com/welcome.htm which is owned by
Netgear (of course), doesn't exist (404) and won't work anyway as I can
not connect to the Internet.. hence the reason behind me trying to
connect to the stupid bloody thing in the first place.

Does anyone have any idea how I can resolve this stupidity?

TIA and any help greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, thanks for all the responses.

I should have added this is not a network problem. IPs are correct, and
yes, I am certain.



Press and hold the reset button on the back for 10 seconds or so to reset
to defaults, then 192.168.1.1 should work.

If not, did you buy the router new? If so then take it back, if not then
caveat emptor methinks.

Telnet to the router - there's just a chance it might respond ...
