Posted by Nighthawk App on June 11th, 2021

Access the Routerlogin page using the Netgear login IP address. In case the IP gateway did not work, use a web URL. If you are still facing any issue accessing the Routerlogin page, then try www.routerlogin.com web URL. After that, you will be able to access the login page of your router successfully.
