Windows 10 devices cannot access router settings page (R6250)
So after many hours of troubleshooting (resetting router, reflashing firmware, trying multiple devices) I think I've found out why I get the message "192.168.1.1 refused to connect": Windows 10. All ...
Did you try different browsers?
Try disabling the Windows Firewall, temporarily.
Is there, by any chance, an IP address conflict? Perhaps another device is using the same IP address as your router.
I don't think so... How would I check? Surely when I restart the router and connect ONLY my laptop it'd be kind of impossible for IP address conflicts anyway? Or am I talking BS? Lol
Yeah, no real chance for a duplicate address in that situation, unless your laptop is using a static IP that matches the router. :smileytongue:
Technically, when you restart a router, you should force all your devices to renew their DHCP leases. The router loses track of pre-reboot leases, so it can conceivably assign an address to a device when that address is already in use by another device.
