Need N750 Settings Info

Hi all,

 

I have replaced my aging N750 with a new NightHawk 3 station mesh system (working very well). We moved and could not get to my old N750 router before I received and set up my new NightHawk.

 

However, there were some port and port forwarding settings in my N750 that I have forgotten and need to add to the NightHawk system. But I cannot seem to access the N750. I get a message telling me I'm already logged into another system (presumably the NIghtHawk) so I can never get to the setup pages. I tried accessing through a Mac where I changed the WiFi the Mac was looking for to the old N750's network name, but I still cannot even access the pages. Now, I don't have the N750 connected to a modem, but should that be necessary? I just want to access the setup of the N750 to see what port and portforwarding (and a few static IP assignments) so that I can move them over to the NightHawk. Any suggestions appreciated.

 

Thanks. Mic in Firestone.

    You should be able to disconnect the N750 from the modem and router and connect a device directly to it. 

    when you do, try access it using its ip address.

    What N750 device do you actually own? (N750 is a wifi speed indicator, not a modem number.)

     

    Your footer says DGND4000. But that is a modem/router and you would not normally connect that to a modem.

     

    This could be important. Modem/routers and routers usually have different default IP addresses.

      Try clearing the cache or history on whatever browser you're using. You can also just try a different browser. If that doesn't work try your cell phone and use the browser on your cell phone to connect to it through its wifi signal.
