Router 192.168.1.1 problem

System: OLD wirespeed router/modem combo unit with Ethernet connection to adjacent laptop running Win 7
Sometime ago I changed the DNS address on my computer to the Google DNS servers.
Tonight when I accessed my router at 192.168.1.1 I logged in fine and could access
my profile settings (Vz supplied account ID and vz supplied Pw) but I am unable
to open the Status,Configuration, Troubleshooting, or Maintenance pages. Is this
related to the DNS settings or what else should I check out?
What are the default Vz DSL DNS pri and sec addresses?
Thanks

I doubt it has anything to do with DNS settings, the simplest workaround would be to reset the modem. Depending on what model you have .. Westell 6100 ???
1. logout of the router but leave it powered on
2. Press and hold the reset pinhole for approx 15 seconds then release
3. All settings should revert to "factory" then you will have to change the DNS severs and whatever custom settings you had.

Cannot bring up the router (192.168.1.1)

Using the WRK54G V2 router - am not able to bring up the router when I call for 192.168.1.1 - I tried clearing the cache, I tried using different browsers (IE6, Firefox), I disabled the firewall, all to no avail: all I get is an error message that reads in part, "timed out." Does anybody know what is going on? Have others reported this problem?
Barry

When I go to edit my router settings by typing my IP into adress box, about 50% of the text doesn't even load. I have no idea what the hell is going on or how to fix it. .
examples:

I really need to forward some ports and I'm unable because of this. This was not happening about 3 weeks or so ago when I first installed the router. Please help.

Logon to VZ router (192.168.1.1) on iphone/ipad

Has anyone been able to logon to their Fios VZ router from their iphone or Ipad?
I can access the router no problem from my PC or my Laptop, but from my ipad or iphone, no luck...
It keeps getting invalid logon...
(I even cut/paste the password so I know it's right)
anybody?
Thanks

Thanks Denis
Yes, I have, but with the following caveat; When typing the password, it echoes dots to the screen. First, it echoes 2 dots, but wait a split second for the 3rd dot. Then and only then, enter the next character. Try that, and by all means reply here with your results, so we all can benefit. Also, let me know if it's not the solution for you. Cut/Paste won't work for me also.

From BB, cannot get into Router to reconfigure it via browser interface (e.g. 192.168.1.1)

Hi guys.
INet browsing via WiFi works (BB 9105), but I would like to get into my Router too, to reconfigure it. When I try to access my router, 192.168.1.1, or my ADSL modem (192.168.0.1) I always get the 504 error (Gateway Timeout), which is the same error I get when browsing through BIS.
Of course, through BIS I cannot access my router or modem, but with WiFi it should be possible to access it.
To make sure, I turned off BIS on my 9105.
I also, via a PC, configured the router to allow my BB MAC address to access the router.
Are they not compatible at all?
Or do I have to use a different browser on my BB?
Thanks for any ideas,
Tato

Hello Tato,
I hesitated posting here because I cannot give you a definitive answer, I've looked around and havn't seen any answers to this question specifically either.
What I can tell you however is using my mobile phone browser I have had no problems accessing my router while I am connected through WiFi, saying this I will also mention I use a DLink and am connecting with the same process in my case 192.168.0.1
Sorry, I can't tell you how to get it working, but hopefully this will keep you interested enough in the problem to get it sorted out.
Hope this helps,
Euclidics

Route pattern to SIP trunk problem

Hello, I have a 2801 router that has been configured with CME and a working SIP connection to my local ISP.
Tested with calls via CME so I know for sure that the SIP config and dial plan is fine on this gateway.
Next I wanted to try out CUCM so I set up a CUCM 8.6 box that is connected to the 2801 router to use as it's SIP gateway.
The only change I made to the gateway router config was to alter the "ip option 150" address so that the phones go to CUCM for their configs etc (which they do with no problems).
Then I set up a SIP trunk in CUCM along with a route pattern which is to use the SIP trunk within the Gateway/Route list option.
But when I make a call that matches this route pattern all I get is the intermittent beep message from the phone. I cannot route calls succesfully through it.
I have checked network connectivity and all is fine. The IP address I specfied in CUCM for the SIP trunk is simply one of the interfaces on the 2801 router and it is definitley reachable.
I also activated "debug ccsip all" on the 2801 gateway router but nothing appears. So it seems like the calls are not even reaching the 2801 gateway ?
Is the problem possibly a conflit between CME on the gateway router and my CUCM ?
Do I need to disable CME somehow on the gateway first ? Or am I not doing something correct in the CUCM config ?
Thank you kindly for any suggestions.
ps. I have attached a couple of screenshots of my config.

Hello, thanks for helping.
I activated "debug voice ccapi inout" as well as "debug ccsip all" on the gateway but nothing showed up.
Therefore I deduce the call is not even making it to across the SIP trunk into the gateway router ?
As I am a newbie trying this out for the first time, it is guranteed to be something really simple.
I have included my running config from the gateway router below..
One addition I made was to add an incoming dial peer. That is "dial peer 5, description CUCM SIP trunk".
I set it up with a destination patter 2... to match my phone config on CUCM which have numbering in the 2000 range.
Sorry, I got RTMT up and running but could not get any meaningful results from it. I need to learn up on that.
I did however run a 'dialed number analysis' from CUCM direct and have attached the result. It seems the dialled number "99" is matching the route pattern OK.
So why is it not then moving down the SIP trunk to my gateway and getting picked up by the incoming dial peer ?
Thanks if you guys can offer any more help.

SA 520W VPN problem with 192.168.1.x (WARNING: In order to ensure proper functionality, the router will ...)

I need help. I can find no documentation on this problem. I have a Microsoft Small Business Server which I have been running for some time. I have been using for the last 10 years the private IP space 192.168.1.x, with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. I have an Active Directory structure that is based on this address space with my default route for the network at 192.168.1.254. I recently purchase a CISCO SA 520W appliance. Every time I add a VPN user to the VPN User Database, I get a popup that states "WARNING: In order to ensure proper functionality, the router will need to change its IP address to 10.x.y.1 to avoid conflicts with the remote network. You will need to reboot all PCs and network devices connected to the router. If you have set static IP addresses on any device or if you are using port forwarding, you will need to update its IP address to new IP range to operation. Would you like to continue?" With a se;ection of "OK" or "Cancel". If I select "OK" the router resets and I can no longer get access to it, resulting in me setting it back to factory default and starting over.If I select "Cancel" at this point it does not add the user to the database. I have tried everything I can think of. If I use the default IP address or any other IP address space, as long as I don't use 192.168.1.x, it works fine. This seems to be some limit set by Cisco. Although I can't understand why as the IP space is a very common one in use. Is there any solution except for reconfiguring my DNS, and active directory.
Please respond understanding that I am a mid level capable network engineer, I have worked with CISCO in the past but mainly Enterprise level layer 2 and 3 switches. I am a netwok security person (CISSP) with medium network skill levels.
Thanks,
Rich K, CISSP

Wow - that's unfortunate. Hopefully you'll get something out of it for all of the wasted time.
I should have researched this more before I purchased. Silly me - thinking Cisco was the best...
I probably wasted 4-6 hours, if not more, trying to get their QuickVPN client to work. They finally blamed it on my ISP, who I spent plenty of time on the phone with as well. The funny thing that they couldn't explain though, was that it also would not work on my Spring 3G/4G data card. After this test, I wrote the whole thing off to a design flaw.
In the end, I went back and setup a M$ PPTP vpn for the time being, until I have time to figure out a better solution. I only have a couple of remote users anyhow.
Thanks for the response and good luck to you!

Can't Access Router Settings via 192.168.2.1

I have recently changed modem/routers as my connection speed was increased recently and the old modem wasn't up to the task... The previous modem/router was preconfigured and I did nothing to it, however the new one requires settings be fixed by accessing it via a browser at 192.168.2.1
When the technician came to check my line and set up the new modem, we encountered a strange situation. Despite being connected by Ethernet cable, my machine could not access the IP address reserved for the router.
The reply is: "Safari can’t connect to the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://192.168.2.1/” because Safari can’t connect to the server “192.168.2.1”."
We tried Firefox and the same happened.
I have deactivated my firewall, rebooted, changed cables, restarted the router, got Safari to pretend to be Explorer, got the neighbor's dog to bark at it, everything except make a blood pact with the devil, and the two browsers on my machine think that 192.168.2.1 is an external address- which it isn't, and of course fails to connect.
The technician used his laptop to configure the thing, so I can access the internet (obviously) but I must find out why I can't access the router/modem's settings, if only to find some logical reason for this illogical behavior.
I've tried looking this issue up, and I get lots of bad wiring, wireless connection, windows proprietary shenanigans, but none that explain my situation.
I'd appreciate it if someone could help me make sense of this.
My setup:
Computer Model Name: Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics)
Model Identifier: PowerMac3,1
Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Processor Speed: 1.35 GHz
Number Of CPUs: 1
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
L3 Cache (per CPU): 2 MB
Memory: 832 MB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1
Sales Order Number: M7827LL/A
Router: "2-Wire Gateway"

Your advice did the job quite nicely and it seems this is the "natural way of things," but I was totally unaware of it since my previous modems were preconfigured and I never had to muck about with subnets and such things.
What irks me is that this is basic, bare bones information that the Tech support people should have given me right off the bat. Why do they assume I have all the right numbers input into the Ethernet or PPPoE settings? They seemed totally perplexed that I couldn't connect, and frankly so was I- since my old Mac, as decrepit as it is, is still able to kick it with the modern way of things better than most computers I work with.
If they had asked me if I had set the right IP's in the right slots, it could have been fixed in 2 minutes.
Thank you very much for solving my problem, it saves me a lot of stress and confusion.

There was a problem connecting to the server "192.168.1.3

'There was a problem connecting to the server 192.168.1.3 Check the server name or IP address, and then try again. If you continue to have problems, contact your system administrator.' - How to sort this out so I can connect to my NAS Drive via wifi?
I am running OS X Yosemite all though I had this problem also with the prevues OS.. I can't seem to connect to my NAS Drive any more via wifi at home. I keep on getting this message error. I have tried different things like trashing some of the Library Preferences suggested on other discussions and updated everything I can. I have also re started Finder (as previously that sometime worked) but this no longer a solution.
The server is working fine I can connect to it via remote website. I also I can see the server/drive and even wake it up but that is as far as it goes, soon after it is 'connected/woken up' I get this error messgae and I can't see any of the files etc. Please help, this is extremely annoying, I feel helpless, this is beyond my technical know how..

I have same problem. It started after i replaced my router (which was on 192.168.1.1) to new air port time capsule, which has different IP address. When i start chrome i have to wait half a minute to get this message. Then i click ok and after that everything is working. Until next time you restart the browser. What is happening here?

WRT110 192.168.1.1 connection problem

For some reason or another, I cannot connect to my router. Its IP is the default 192.168.1.1. For maybe the first minute or so after I turn the router on, I CAN connect to it, but then it just drops and I cannot get onto it any more. What's going on and how do I go about fixing this?

To view the router's web pages:
You do not need an Internet connection. The router's "web pages" are built into the router.
Use Internet Explorer, it usually works.
JavaScript must be enabled.
Use a computer that is wired to the router.
In the non-working computer, temporarily turn off your software firewall.
Point your browser to 192.168.1.1 , then login to your router. Your user name should be left blank. Your password is "admin" (with no quotes), unless you changed it.
If you are using Zone Alarm, right click on the ZA icon in the system tray (lower right corner of screen) and then click "Shutdown ZoneAlarm", and see if this fixes your problem. If this does not work, try the following with Zone Alarm: Open the ZAISS control center, go to Privacy, then temporarily turn off Ad Blocking and Cookie Control, and see if that fixes your problem.
Some Zone Alarm users have reported that adding 192.168.1.1 to their list of "trusted" addresses fixed the problem. This trick might also work with other firewalls.
If you are using Noton Internet Security with the Add-on Pack, be sure to turn off the Pop-up Blocker, and the Ad blocker. Some users have reported that they needed to uninstall the entire Norton Add-on Pack.
If you cannot get anything at 192.168.1.1 then perhaps this is not your router's address. Go to "Start" > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
A black DOS box will appear. Type in "ipconfig" (with no quotes), then hit the Enter key. Look at the "Default Gateway". Is it 192.168.1.1 ? Point your browser to the "Default Gateway", then login to your router.
If the above fails, disconnect your modem from the router, and try again. If this corrects your problem, then most likely you have a "modem-router" rather than an ordinary modem. Report back with this problem, and also state the make and exact model number of your modem (not the router).
If all of the above fails, power down your entire system, unplug it from the wall, wait one minute, then power up and try again.
If all of the above tips fail, then reset the router to factory defaults: Power down the router and disconnect all wires from it. Wait one minute. Power up the router, allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes), then press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release the button and allow the router to reset and reboot ( 2-3 minutes). Power down router. Wait one minute. Connect one computer, by wire, to a LAN port on the router. Boot up system. It should work.
If you still have trouble, then you need to download and install (or re-install) the latest firmware for your router. After the firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.

WRT54G Extremely slow navigating pages @ 192.168.1.1 - Could this be a network card problem?

Friend of mine is having Internet connection issues on his main PC which is hard wired to the router, He's using Comcast cable (18Mbit) and all of a sudden today the speed dropped to dialup speeds, literally, however its ONLY this main pc with the speed issue, there are 2 other computers connected wireless to the router and they are running full speed when testing on speedtest.net
While troubleshooting the problem I tried bypassing the router and the speed issue still remains, So I can pretty much rule out the router, But as part of my troubleshooting whenever I try to access the router's configuration pages via 192.168.1.1 it is VERY slow at responding.
For example when hitting enter after typing 192.168.1.1 it takes around 45 seconds to display the router configuration page, and at that point clicking on any other tabs takes 30 - 45 seconds as well to respond.
So my main question with this post is, is it possible his network card went bad? What would cause really slow access to the router configuration?
The PC is running Win 7 Ultimate 32bit and Ive tried running the network troubleshooter, uninstalled his network card in device manager / reinstalled the drivers but nothing seems to be working.
I also ran Malware Bytes and scan results were clean.
Any ideas appreciated!

can you "borrow" a card? its the only way to be sure, eliminating hours of trial and error procedures. one of the mega electronics stores is a good source, if it solves your problem you keep the card, if not there is the return option

*Notorious* WRT120N 192.168.1.1 Menu Problem

Has there ever been a definitive answer to this mystery?
I bought one of these things from TigerDirect a couple of years back and like so many other buyers could never access the 192.168.1.1 menu. I could get basic setup with the CD, but could never get to do port forwarding or other functions. I needed to do this about six months back and got serious about fixing the problem and found innumerable Google references to it with the WRT120N over several years -- but no solutions. I spent about three days doing all the laborious, time-wasting suggestions in all those threads which no more helped me than they did the persons who originally asked.
I never found an answer, nor did they.
I assumed that the WRT120N was just a defective model, by then well out of 90-day warranty, and chucked it in the junk pile.
Yesterday, I was preparing to throw it out, but on a whim powered it up to give it one last chance. To my amazement, for the first time since I had the unit, 192.168.1.1 brought up the menu and it was fully functional. I updated to the latest firmware, did advanced configuration and repeatedly accessed the menu with no problem. Today I was going to use it with a IP camera and pushed the WPS button on the router to configure the camera's WPS function, and this apparently worked -- but from that moment, the WRT120N's menu can no longer be web-accessed.
I had dimly suspected that some bug in WPS was at the bottom of this problem, but I could never get verification.
It's inconceivable to me that Linksys isn't aware by now of what's really wrong with the WRT120N and its web menu.
What can anyone tell me about this old issue?

Hello there, ricktendo64! Checking on the attached link (http://community.linksys.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/Laptop-cannot-log-into-WRT120N-Router-but-ipad-can/... I was wondering why it showed an IP address of 192.168.1.2 when the default IP address for the WRT120N is 192.168.1.1. Were there any changes to the router's settings before this happened?
@Anchoret, I have not heard such similar difficulties after pressing the WPS button. Have you tried to do a factory reset again after updating the firmware? They always recommend to reset the router after the update, to make sure that the firmware was successfully loaded. You may try another reset and see if that will make any difference.

I have problems with my 7510 holding a wireless network ip address 192.168 etc It says 169. etc

My HP Photosmart all in one (which is only a few months old) stopped comunicating with my Netgear DGN1000 Adsl router a few days before Xmas.
Instead of the 192.168.0.9 ip address that it used before I powered off the router, iit came back with an address of 169.254.249.128; "Configuration source" = "Auto ip"; a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0; and Default gateway of 0.0.0.0; I know these are wrong, so I tried a fixed ip address of 192.168.0.201, a SM of 255.255.255.0; and a DG of 192.168.0.1; This was OK, but overnight, it all went back to the auto ip settings.
I eventually managed to contact HP, and the guy spent 75 minutes with me trying to reset things, and eventually he reckoned that the Netgear router was not allowing the printer access via some ports (which he emailed me a list of) and something he said I needed to tell my isp (Virgin media) “FLOOD DETECTION SET TO OFF” & “SP1 FIREWALL SET TO OFF”
On contacting VM, they were insistant that their router was not at fault - they could open the 12 or so ports, at a cost to me of £60! (I declined this)
HP had told me how to set up for Ad Hoc printing (by-passing the router) which had worked during our testing.
VM had been into my settings for the router, via a remote access device, and checked a few settings, but the only one I saw them alter was changing from CH10 to CH11.
I certainly could not get the printer to accept the 192.168.1.201 after this anyway.
Following this, I reset the printers Network Defaults, and reconfigured the wireless settings. It did seem OK, and running on 192.168.0.9
I have now reset the IP address to Manual on the printer, entering the 192.168.0.9 and 255.255.255.0; and 192.168.0.1;
Touch wood it has held up for a few days, but I havn't switched anything off (but overnight before it went awry!)
I'm not convinced I have got a fix here, and would welcome any suggestions as to what I can still do.
Maybe I have already done some, as I have "completely uninstalled, and reinstalled the HP7510 software on my Desktop PC.
Incidently the printer is set up on 3 PC's in the house - a desktop running W7 HP 64 bit, a Notebook (same OS variant) and a Laptop running W7 HP, but 32 bit.
All were unable to print when I was having issues.
I would welcome any suggestions to get a more permanat fix. (I would rather have found a definite fault) I have other routers I could try, or I could open ports, but my question is - If I needed these ports open, and other settings altered (Flood detection etc) why did the printer work for the first few weeks I had it set up, and why did powering off the router cause such issues? (suppose I need to power off the router again in the future - it does happen)
Thanks

Hey Dave,
Great post with good information.
As you mentioned, the printer came back with a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx style IP address. This is normally produced when the device is not able to get a complete connection with the router, thus the router gives it a temporary internal IP address.
The normal suggestion when a printer stops maintaining a connection is to set a Static IP. This is done by using the manual IP feature you mentioned using. This locks the device to those network settings and even when the network is restarted the information is retained. This should be the fix to the issue.
Hope this helps.

Trouble connecting to 192.168.1.1 & setting up wireless router

I am hoping someone can please help me!! I have a PowerMac G4 and a new 12" PowerBook G4. I received a Linksys router as a gift and I am having trouble setting it up...I have tried connecting to the ip address, http://192.168.1.1 with both Internet Explorer and Safari to no avail. I enter in the address and it tells me the connection has failed. I have tried numerous individuals including Linksys support and have had no luck! Can anyone help me or tell me what I may be doing wrong?
PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.1)
PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.1)
PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.1)

Lets start with some basic stuff.
First Shut your computer clear OFF.
Next pull the power adapter from your Internet
Service Providers Modem.
Next do the same thing with your New Router, Pull the
Plug on everything.
Remove any other USB items you might have connected
Printer scanner, camera.
Now you need to wait for 5 minutes.
NOW IN ORDER.
Plug the Ethernet cable from your ISP's Modem to your
Uplink port on your New Router.
Next
Plug the power adapter back in to your ISP'S Modem,
and wait until it re-aqiures the signal, depending on
the brand and who your service is with normally 3
lights.
Next after you are good on the modem you can plug in
your new Router, again wait for it to get it's signal
and lights.This will normally take a minute or so.
Now you can restart your computer.
After it boots up click on the Safari icon, and see
if it connects you.
If not go to the menu bar in your browser and type in
192.168.1.1
This should open the Linksys Utility box that will
enable you to confiqure your network.
Remember you will have to have all of the proper
setting in both your Browser and your Mail program
for everything to work properly.
Click on the Icon of Safari, and choose Preferences
this will allow you to setup
The same with Mail.
Good Luck Don
Hi, Don. Is the ethernet cable from the modem supposed to plug into the router's WAN port or the Uplink port?

Connecting to 192.168.1.1 for checking router settings online brings non-English setup?

Bought a new WRT54G vers 6 router to replace a version 3 that died on us recently, and we have had many issues with SBC Global DSL connectivity, but when I go to the 192.168.1.1 site, it isn't in English, but in Italian or Spanish..
I can guess on some issues, but I never had a choice to pick what language this router page setup area would be in. Any ideas?
I could use some help here.

You need to download the correct firmware and upgrade or use tftp.exe.

Macbook pro on wireless defaults to 192.168.2.100 despite router WRT310Nv2 ip address of 192.168.1.1

I can't get my wireless devices to hold a proper IP address and they don't see the correct address for the router. Here's some info:
Router:
Linksys WRT310Nv2
Router IP Address: 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server Enabled
Start IP Address: 192.168.1.100
End IP Address: 192.168.1.149
SPI Firewall Protection - enabled
Internet Connection Embarq 660 modem
Automatic Configuration DHCP
Internet IP Address: 192.168.2.2
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.2.1
DNS1: 192.168.2.1
DHCP Lease Time 3 days
Mac G5 wired by ethernet to router has address: 192.168.1.100
Other devices: MacBook Pro defaults to 192.168.2.100 and won't connect. Says it is using DHCP and also says that the router address is 192.168.2.1. I try renewing the DHCP lease and same thing keeps happening. What might I check or change that will ensure I can have a good, consistent wireless connection to this router/modem combination.
Thanks for any help!

The Linksys router is connected to the embarq 660 modem at the 'internet' port on the back of the router and to the 'ethernet' port on the back of the modem. The Mac G5 is plugged into one of the numbered ports on the back of the router. Nothing else is connected to the router. The MacBook Pro is a laptop I'm trying to connect wirelessly. I have the modem connected to the wall jack (the DSL connection) and to the router as described already. I don't think there's anything wrong with the wiring.
