What's going on with my Netgear WNDR3300 router?

"Please forgive me if I've overlooked something but let's start a little further back.

Please attempt to access the router's admin page by entering this into your browser:

'''http://www.routerlogin.net'''

If you've successfully reset your router then this should work (as long as you haven't configured your PC/Mac to use alternate DNS servers) and the username and password should have also been reset to admin / password for username / password respectively.

I have some questions:

1. Why are you trying to use 192.168.1.2 ? If you've reset the router then the IP should actually be 192.168.1.1

2. Please check to see that you're getting an IP address from the router. (In Windows: START > Run... > (type) cmd [press enter] (command shell opens) type ipconfig [enter]

Hope this helps in some way!
