Can't access 192.168.1.1
So a few months ago I used to be able to go to http://192.168.1.1 and port forward and manage some stuff. Recently it just "This site cannot be reached" and I can't access the website, I have checked...
Thanks for including the image. What browser is this? Does the "Details" box bring up anything useful?
I would open a DOS Window (or the equivalent in Linux and Mac) and try to 'ping' the Orbi.
The gateway is showing as 192.168.1.1, correct?
So I am currently using Chrome as my browser. Also when I open details it just shows some useless suggestions i've already tried like "check your internet connection" and stuff. Also I don't know what a DOS window is but I can ping it by going into my cmd and doing the cmd 'ping 192.168.1.1'. So I just did it and this is what it gave me.
Thanks. Really old people remember this as a "DOS Window". So the Orbi router is definitely present and alive.
Can you try a different browser?
How about trying the secure web portal: https://192.168.1.1
The browser will complain about it being "insecure" because the SSL certificate is "self-signed". Just ignore the warning.
You are probably aware that the "last resort" is to do a Factory Reset and reconfigure the router from scratch. (I absolutely hate doing this. It takes me over two hours to make all the configuration settings on my router.)
So I did everything you said and unfortunatly it doesn't work, I guess we'll have to factory reset it. I'll wait for more answers tho before I do so if anybody else can help me that'd be nice
