1 PC refuse to access router setting using default gateway (192.168.1.1)
Hi, 3 month ago, I purchasea WNDR4300v2 router and I got trouble acessing the router setting page using the defauld gateway (192.168.1.1). When I enter 192.168.1.1 in the address, chrome displa...
Well that all looks correct to me, so the typical things that might stop you being able to log in at http://192.168.1.1 are Anti-virus / firewall software, including the Windows Firewall, and the type of network the computer thinks it’s connected to e.g. public /home/private
Thanks you very much "Mars Mug" for your help.:smileyvery-happy:
It turn out hat It was related to the firewall or antivirus, I'm not quit sure what, was the actual problem but I can now acess my router.
Here what I did.
I started by unpluging the internet from the router (by unpluging the cable between the modem and router), But I let the wire between the pc and router. Because the internet way unplug I got a totally different message from my browser.
Instead of : "This page is not available"
I got this : "Unable to access the network" and a Link (a button) to diagnose the problem.
Diagnose result : "Security policy settings or firewall settings on this computer might be blocking the connection"
here the steps I took from there:
1- I close my Anti-virue and firewall (K.I.S.) * I couldn't connect to the router at that point
2- close Windows firewall (since it automaticaly took over after I shut down K.I.S.) * it didn't worked.
3- I restored windows firewall to default setting. * Still no success
I wanted to try to close windows defende but I didn't know how. I needed to research how to do it online. So I restarted K.I.S (kaspersky internet security) while doing so windows firewall give back the control of the firewall to K.I.S. and I also replug the internet in to the router.
I decided to retest it at this point, just for fun I enter 192.168.1.1 and there it is the loggin windows, and I was able to acess my router.
I don't know If it work because I did reset windows firewall to default setting.
To me it deosn't make any sence since I don't use windos firewall at all. and windows is telling me that firewall is been managed by vendor application Kaspersky internet security. Or maybe the reset didn't do anything at all and I've just been locky again. I didn't mention this before but this problem happen before. I have this router for 3 month. First month I was unable to acess my router, secound month without doing anything I was able to access the router just like normal, and then for the 3third month I was again unable to access it. And now I am able to access it .
Is it working because of the reset or did it fix it's self on it own, I really don't know?
Anyway,your help was really helpfull, thanks again
