WiFiX-NEXQ6GO factory reset

[werouterguy]

I know you have posted this several times and I read all of them plus the doc and I can not reset this. I have held done the reset button for 15 sec, until lights finish flashing, until usb lights up, for 1 min , etc and i still can not get the logon to reset. what am i doing wrong?

[werouterguy]

I have tried root with blank, admin, root, default, etc. nothing seems to work.

that is strange, it is usually root:[blank] or root:admin, but sounds like you tried those.

did you try doing ctrl+f5 in the browser to try and clear cache or using a different browser? just to make sure.

did the wifi information reset back to default?

After a factory reset, I have to attach to the modem via Incognito mode (Chrome) or Private mode (firefox) to get into it.

Incognito mode in the browser and use

Code: Select all

http://192.168.1.1

Works for me when all else fails to act right.


Also make sure your PCs eth port isnt set with some static IP that isn't needed, AND isolate your PC. IE: turn off wifi and remove all other internet/router sources from the PC.

i have tried the clear brower, private mode, ssh 192.168.1.1 and nothing. just not sure if it is resetting. i notice my browser jumped to http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci . i tried finding other reset procedures and just no luck.

On your computer, do the following:

Get an ethernet cable, and hook it up from your laptop to one of the ethernet ports on your router
Next to the windows icon (bottom left), click on "type here to search"
Type in: Control Panel and click on it when it comes up
Click on: Network and Sharing Center
Click on: Change adapter settings (near top left)
Right click on: Ethernet, drag down to properties
Double click on: Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCIP/IPv4)
Click on the toggle for: Use the following IP address and enter these values:
-IP address: 192.168.1.7
-Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
-Default gateway: 192.168.1.1
Click on the toggle for: Use the following DNS server address and enter these values:
-Preferred DNS Server: 8.8.8.8
-Alternate DNS Server: 8.8.4.4
Click on OK
Click on OK

You now have a static IP. Open up firefox, then click on the drop down to start "New private window"
In the address bar, type in http://192.168.1.1

DO NOT let the browser auto fill out anything, manually type the whole string in. You can also try Microsoft Edge or Microsoft IE to avoid cache issues.
