netgear DF834 problems: login into firmware

rjk · 12 Mar 2009 at 01:07

so i have the password

i go to the ip address of the router

it gives me the prompt - i type in my user and password

then it refreshes and asks again on constant loop

will not access the web interface on any browser

plus i get page load errors on all my tabs at the moment as well as generally terrible performance all round

anyone know why this password loop is occuring?

i can fix it after that - just cant get access!

sounds like the password you are entering is wrong

have you tried a factory defaults reset ? holding down on the reset button for 30 secs ?

then login should be admin/password I think

i have checked the password loads of times

it is correct

i reset to default and it is still doing it

can access from my laptop
but not my main rig

As C64 said, it sounds definitely like you're using the wrong username/password. Hold down the reset button for 20 secs to hard reset it, and then Google to find out the default username and password (admin and password I think...)

Sorry just saw your other post... if you can access it from your laptop but not your main rig... well, there's something wrong with your main rig

Try a different browser?

Check in notepad that when you type in the password that is exactly what is appearing, sort of a weird request I know but it there's a prob with the keyboard then this will show it, then do the same on the lappy.

Sounds like your connection is dropping out when trying to access the web,
the givaway sign here is the page load errors.

Are you trying this wireless, if so try wired.
If not you will have to check your internet settings.

Not much help i know, but this sounds like the same problem i had when i first switched to broadband.
