Netgear WGR614v7 joke of a router

Ok. I want to connect this router to a cable modem. Upon entering
http://192.168.1.1 into the browser, a point in which you would hope to be
prompted with a login screen, the stupid bloody thing immediately redirects
to http://www.routerlogin.com/welcome.htm which is owned by Netgear (of
course), doesn't exist (404) and won't work anyway as I can not connect to
the Internet.. hence the reason behind me trying to connect to the stupid
bloody thing in the first place.

Does anyone have any idea how I can resolve this stupidity?

TIA and any help greatly appreciated.

My Netgear (not the same model) uses the default network 192.168.0.0 - try
192.168.0.1

Are you being re-directed because http://192.168.1.1 is on a different IP
address range to the one your PC is on? If you use DHCP and Windows can't
find a DHCP server you will get allocated an IP address of 169.n.n.n.

You may need to use a fixed IP address temporarily until you have the
router set up.

Open a command window and type

IPCONFIG /ALL

Report here the IP addres of the computer, its netmask, and the default
gateway (if shown)

If a default gateway is shown, open your web browser at that address.

Hi everyone, thanks for all the responses.

I should have added this is not a network problem. IPs are correct, and
yes, I am certain.

Press and hold the reset button on the back for 10 seconds or so to
reset to defaults, then 192.168.1.1 should work.

If not, did you buy the router new? If so then take it back, if not then
caveat emptor methinks.

What happens when you try a different computer? This would eliminate the
rdirection coming from the browser in the first computer ...
