Netgear routers are widely used in homes and offices. If you're unable to access the Netgear router admin panel at 192.168.61.1, follow this dedicated troubleshooting guide.

1. Confirm the Correct Netgear Router IP Address

Netgear routers typically use one of the following default IP addresses:

• 192.168.1.1 (Most Netgear models)
• 192.168.0.1 (Alternate default)
• 10.0.0.1 (Orbi and some mesh routers)
• routerlogin.net or routerlogin.com (Netgear's web-based login)

If you're having trouble logging in, try these default credentials:

macOS:
netstat -nr | grep default
Look for the "default" row - that's your router IP.

Windows:
Open Command Prompt and run ipconfig

3. Use routerlogin.net Instead of IP

If the IP address doesn't work, try accessing your router via:

• http://routerlogin.net
• http://routerlogin.com

4. Netgear Router Login Page Not Loading

If the login page doesn't load:

• Username: admin
• Password: password

Tip: The default password is case-sensitive. Try "password" (all lowercase).

If the Netgear Nighthawk or Orbi app isn't working:

• Make sure your phone is connected to the router's Wi-Fi
• Update the app to the latest version
• Restart both the router and your phone

6. Netgear Internet Not Working

If your internet isn't working:

Fix: Try using a wired Ethernet connection instead of Wi-Fi to access the router admin panel.

7. Netgear Factory Reset

Warning: This erases all settings including Wi-Fi name and password.

1. Locate the Reset button (small hole on back)
2. Press and hold with a paperclip for 7-10 seconds
3. Wait for router to reboot (about 2 minutes)

8. Double NAT / ISP Modem Issue

If you have both an ISP modem/router and a Netgear router:

• Put ISP modem in bridge mode, or
• Put Netgear router in AP (Access Point) mode

9. Netgear-Specific URLs

• http://routerlogin.net
• http://routerlogin.com
• http://192.168.1.1/start.htm

10. Hardware Failure Signs

Signs that your router may have hardware issues:

• Router gets very hot even with good ventilation
• LEDs behave erratically or don't light up
• Router keeps rebooting on its own

11. Netgear LED Light Meanings

12. Nighthawk / Orbi App Issues

If you're having trouble with the Netgear app:

• Make sure your phone is connected to the router's Wi-Fi (not mobile data)
• Update the Nighthawk or Orbi app to the latest version

• Contact Netgear support if issues persist

Avoid IP Conflicts

If we have two routers in our network, for example: a main router and a range extender and both use the same default IP (ex: 192.168.61.1) can conflict, causing connection issues. Changing any one of the routers IP solves this issue.

Network Design and Organisation

Most businesses or tech users may want to organise their network into segments. For example:

• 192.168.10.x for Office PCs
• 192.168.20.x for IoT or CCTV Cameras
• 192.168.30.x for Guests

To define those segments clearly, changing the gateway IP address is the best option.

Security and Privacy reasons

Changing the router's IP from default to another private IP can reduce exposure to automated login attempts or basic scanning tools.
