Can't get to router Web pages using
www.routerlogin.com or
www.routerlogin.net
Affected products: WGT624v1, WGT624v2, WGR614v5, WGR614v6, WPN824v1
Symptoms
* The router administration pages are not available using the URLs
www.routerlogin.com or
www.routerlogin.net.
When accessing the Internet, various computer applications do a "DNS lookup", which is a way of converting between URLs that are easy-to-read such as
http://www.netgear.com with their numerical equivalent. (For
www.netgear.com, it's
http://12.7.210.242/). Some programs make such a large number of request for these DNS lookups that the router's firewall software treats it as a potential attack. In this situation, the computer making these requests is blocked by the router from the Internet.
At the moment, there is no workaround
