Random thoughts:

Are you getting in via  http://192.168.0.1 or 1.1 ?

Have you tried with other browsers? I've got 7 browsers, meaning I 
probably have close to 7 results. Chromium tends to work, if nothing 
else does.

Can you get in via WIFI? Info on the label with the MACs and SSID 
transmitted by default.

Genie wants netgear.com/genie, so that's not much help.


https://kb.netgear.com/27199/How-do-I-troubleshoot-routerlogin-net-and-routerlogin-com-access-errors

this suggests replacing routerlogin.com with 192.168.0.1  But we already 
knew this. There are other suggestions.

The manual seems to indicate you can config w/o the net but doesn't say 
it explicitly.


Good luck.
