Can't reset router, connect devices, internet working wifi but not ethernet, amber light on internet
Wifi Connectivity was down. When I check it up internet led blinking amber. Disconnect Router and Modem, after connecting it back again wifi radio was off. By that time I was able to log in to the ro...
OK everyone sorry for all the confusion with all the Ip addesses and weird gateway codes. The router was in in Access Point mode. Most of the features are disable with this mode and even the router reset button did not want to work. A friend of mine check it out and had to reset it using another router (once he figure it out that the router was behaving as an access point it was a 10 minute fix). After resetting it, even the reset button was working.
What I learned. If you do not have an extra back-up router, do not mess with the router.
Thanks everyone for trying. have a nice day
All that shows is that your are getting to the modem. There is no 'real' information on the modem as to what is connected to it that I can find on mine?
I am still confused over your responses?
====================
Have no idea why it says this in the network map info of the router
Router Model N/A
IP Address: 50.130.90.1
Status: Online
MAC Address: C8:4C:75:77:7B:E2
Firmware Version: N/A
===============
Where did you see this? On the router using a browser or the desktop Genie?
===============
Since I have the ethernet and the wireless connection I tried to pin both
1. for ethernet gateway fe80::ca4c:75ff:fe77:7be2%10
Sent=4 received=0 100% lost
For wireless Ip 50.130.90.1
Sent=4 received =1 75% lost
================
Unless you have IPv6 enabled the first part will fail. 2nd part should not lose anything?
Can you copy and paste the full output of IPCONFIG in a command prompt here please. That IP Address of 50.130.90.1 is odd, never should end with a .1 for something on a LAN unless there were some 'unusual' changes made on the router to enable that, such as moving the router IP Address?
I also checked the MAC Address of C8:4C:75:77:7B:E2 and that is a CISCO device, not a PC...
If you can't do this I suspect you have a damaged router, especially since the reset button doesn't work?
