nighthawk access w/o internet
while my router works fine, when the internet goes down, i lose access to rtr. when net is down i need acess most. pls point me to the docs for this issue, but i was unable to find it. tia.....
On a router when connected, the router gives your devices an IP address via its DHCP. That creates the LAN. You ISP via the modem provides the Internet signal to the router and it had the WAN IP Address. You do NOT need the Internet signal to the router to access the router. Just use a Browser as mentioned above.
What I don't understand is "ip not responding w/o intrernet connection and login.net requiers internet for dns, right??"? Where did you get that idea from?
"what is the next step? if i use the yellow cable and plug it pc to lan port 1, is that the secret back door?"
Why do you think this is valid? There is no 'secret backdoor'? Use a BROWSER to log into the router.
"i did verified 192.168.1.254 responded to ping when entire lan to wan is up, ..."
Totally confused with that statement? I'm beging to think you are not connected to the router but you modem is also a router? What is your modem make and model? What is the IP Address of your PC?
ip not responding w/o intrernet connection and login.net requiers internet for dns, right??

the posed queries identified my problem. wrong ip.
firmware V1.4.1.42_1.3.4
routerlogin.net did resolve locally.
further my 'failed access' was something i wasnt expecting to work.
regadrless, my underlying issue is router access when the internet goes down.
again my apologies, i appreciate your understanding
