3 minutes, 30 seconds Read

I am trying to log in to my Netgear router using the web URL but I can’t log in. The login page does not open at all. Please help me log in to the router. Are you stuck too? Why don’t you give a shot at the troubleshooting hacks discussed in this post? Here we have penned down the best fixes to do away with the Netgear Nighthawk router login issues.

How to Fix Nighthawk Router Login Issues?

You will need to log in to your router if you want to make any changes to its settings. After logging in, you reach the admin dashboard of the router where you can find the settings. You can also update the firmware on your router from here. But if the login is not happening then make use of the solutions discussed below:

1.Use the Correct Login Address

Make very certain that the web URL that you’re using to log in to the router is the right one. Make no typing mistakes while inserting the address in the URL field. If there are typos in the URL then you may end up landing on some random web page. Avoid that from happening by carefully typing the URL in the right place.

2.Use the IP Address

Do you know that you can use the IP address to log in apart from the URL routerlogin.net. Why don’t you use the IP address now? The default IP address for the Nighthawk router is 192.168.1.1. Use this instead of the login URL and then see if you can log in to the router or not. At times the IP address is changed. In that case the IP address won’t work. In such scenario, you should check the IP address assigned to the router. Use the Command Prompt to ping ipconfig.  The IP address listed next to default gateway will be the IP address of your router. Use this IP to log in now.

3.Log In Using the Nighthawk App

One more way that you can use to log in to your Nighthawk router is by using the mobile app. Netgear Nighthawk app can be installed from the nighthawk-app.com  or Play Store or App Store on your phone. Install the app and use the Netgear login details to log in. You can reach the settings on the app and make the desired changes here.

4.Check the Network

Are you still stuck and can’t log in to the Netgear router? Looks like you are not on the right network. What network are we talking about? Let us tell you that the router URL or IP or the mobile app works only on the local network. That means the device must be connected to the router’s network. Make sure that the computer or laptop or mobile phone is connected to the Netgear router’s network. Use the right WiFi name and password to join the network.

If you are using your computer or laptop to log in to the web interface of the router, then you should try making the LAN connection as the chances of signal dropping are reduced.

When you are connected to the right network on the phone or PC, use the Nighthawk router app or IP/URL to log in to the router.

5.Reboot the Router and Retry

Looks like some technical glitches are stopping the login process. Try to fix the glitch by rebooting the router. Turn it off using the Power button and remove the power cable also. After some time, plug in the router and turn it on using the Power button. Now, connect your device to its network. Use the app or the login URL/IP to log in to your router now.

Let’s Conclude It Up

We are concluding the post with the hope that you’re now logged in to your Netgear Nighthawk router after applying the fixes mentioned in this post. Upon logging in, go to the settings and make the required changes to the router. You should also check for firmware update in the settings. If there’s an update pending then get it installed on the router now.
