Stuck in bridge mode *I think*
So, the other day I was having some issues connecting to alot of online games that I normally play with firends and found out I had a strict NAT type. I went into my router settings and looked for anything on NAT types and the only thing I had was a check box for something called Bridge Mode. Me being the idiot I am, clicked it and saved the change and then watched in awe as I totally screwed over my network.
At first none of my wireless devices could even find my network, but after like 10 times of pushihg the reset button for 10+ seconds they can now connect to it, but my main problem is that my pc which is hard lined to the router just doesn't recognize that it is there anymore and can't connect to the network. It can connect to the internet just fine, just not the network.
I have already tried 192.168.0.1 and the ip I found using ipconfig, along with trying an IP scanner, but none of the IPs that brought up worked either.
Help?
so, I just reset the router a bunch of times more and eventually it worked.
