POS router has the single worst software interface on the planet. Tech support is jeets; except now it's out of warranty so they want $100 to talk to "tech support".

I've searched and searched for ways to access the router without success. The only thing I haven't tried is uninstalling the network adapter and reinstalling because I don't see how this has anything to do with the router's software (netgear). I've factory reset it but that's all I've been able to do.

I'd appreciate any help getting access to this stupid thing so I can secure it and change appropriate settings.

You've tried this:

The default IP address for a Netgear router is usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 , and the default username is "admin" with the password also being "password" for most models; you can access the router login page by typing "routerlogin.net" in your web browser.

CnP from the Goog

I usually just go to the ip address in my browser.

A thousand times. When I do, I get "this router has been disabled". I've tried all the stuff online, even tried hooking the router directly to the computer, disabled the firewall and reset the router completely. It's the software, not the device.
