C6250/AC1600 Internet works on macbook but not LG TV or iPhone
I'm having a bit of a perculiar problem with my router. I am able to connect to the internet just fine on my macbook, however I am not able to access the router settings at routerlogin.net or 192.1...
FURRYe38 Thanks for the advice.
192.168.100.1 works the same as 192.168.0.1, working on my iphone and taking a while before failing on my laptop ("the server unexpededly dropped the connection" in safari).
In order to make a wired connection, I'd have to buy an extra ethernet cord and ethernet to usb-c dongle, which would be annoying. Are you sure that would help? The fact that I can't access the router settings from my laptop is odd but my real concern is connecting my TV to the interet. The fact that it (and my phone) can see and connect to the wifi networks but not access the internet once connected makes me think the issue is with the firmware or router settings. I'm not having any difficulty changing the router settings from my phone.
Try Opera or Firefox on your Macbook
Neither browser works with either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.100.1.
Opera gives "This site can’t be reached 192.168.100.1 took too long to respond." and Firefox gives "The connection has timed out The server at 192.168.100.1 is taking too long to respond.:
Factory reset the modem and setup from scratch. If you have the default wifi name and password, you can connect to it using wifi on the MacBook to set it up, if not, you'll need a USB C to ethernet adapter. There not expensive. I have a few for my Mac Book Pro.
I did another factory reset, but 192.168.0.1 still gets the same error after some loading on my laptop. I'm not sure what you mean by setup from scratch. I'm able to connect to internet just by entering the default wifi name and password. Do you mean changing the admin password and wifi name? I can't do that from my macbook, only from my iphone.
I could buy the adaptor if you think it would help get the wifi on my TV to work, but to be clear I don't care that I can't access router settings from my macbook. I'm only providing that as information to help diagnose the problem with the TV and iphone not being able to access the internet despite being connected to the wifi network.
