Hello all I hope I am in the correct subforum. I am running out of ideas on how to reset my login info for my router. I started having problems with my R7000 and in desperation I installed DDWRT firmware. All went well except my wireless speeds dropped by about 75%. I figured I'm going to try Tomato firmware. I read about how to telnet before the flash but I also read I could simply do a hard reset and use default admin/admin info. Since I was going to do a reset anyway I decided not to worry about keeping my old login. Maybe I misunderstood? Was I supposed to flash the Tomato firmware with the initial firmware or was I supposed to go back to stock and then start with the initial firmware?
Flashed initial firmware and the router rebooted. Old wireless settings were kept and oddly enough my wireless speed improved a lot. Tried to do a hard rest and noticed the recessed reset button doesn't do anything. I tried many combinations of "root" and "admin" etc but nothing worked. After researching more online I tried the 30/30/30 reset. The only time the reset button works is if I push and hold and powercycle the router, the router goes through it reset procedure but no settings get changed. I can still use my router and the connection is OK but I am unable to log in and change any settings and I am also unable to flash the actual Tomato firmware
Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue? Is it time to buy another router? Thanks for your help.
