Unable to log into router G54/N150
I recently started having issues with my internet. First, my modem tx power was too high. Its been adjusted and it is still slightly too high, but we're working on it. I am able to get online anyway...
Welcome to the community, aam2babies
I suggest that you factory reset the router.Did you try to use DHCP on the computer?
What's the IP address that the router will give to the computer?
Yeah, I ended up doing the factory reset.
First, I actually pulled my router and modem and set them up from the active outlet outside, running the rg6 cable through the window so that I could reach my desktop with an Ethernet cable. I was able to get to the router login page that way, but my credentials didn't work anymore! I spoke with someone in cyber security, and he believes the router may have been hacked. Either way, I just went ahead and factory reset it.
I did not try the DHCP route from my computer, but I could see my computers IP address assigned by the router from the command window.
All in all, I learned a few things about security and my router settings.
Thanks for your input!
