Reset the router through the webgui to factory defaults, and now I can't access anything. I'm directly hardwired into the router (port 6) on a Netgear Nighthawk X10 R9000, with no other cables anywhere. After the reset to factory defaults I can't access the router through the webgui at 192.168.1.1 (default generally) and can't SSH or Telnet to it. I can ping it and tracert to it with no problems and get a reply everytime. What are the options that I have at this point to get my router up and running again?
Just using 192.168.1.1 in some browsers tends to default you to using https vs http. Firefox seems to be doing this, but there is a setting to turn that off somewhere...

Plus, you have to set the webUI password after a reset before telnet will allow connections.
The issue is I get a Connection Refused, whether it's SSH/Telnet/Web. I can't even get to it to set a Web password.

I highly doubt you would need to be connected to a specific ethernet port, but I generally always use port 1. I just ran the gamut of steps to try and see if I could revive my wifi on my R9000 the other day and never ran into this. I don't recall any reports of an issue with this during that time-frame, either. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

hmmm you have many options...but as we dont know your current build..options get a bit narrow...
-you can reset via button and try again...
-you can tftp flash to another ddwrt build, let say the latest 47117
-for GUI access always use non chromium based browser...
-bear in mind, on reset telnet and ssh are not accessible until you set username/password via GUI... _________________ Atheros
