NightHawk R7800 Router is Assigned two IPs
Hi All,
I just ran an nmap scan of a network and noticed the router is assigned two IPs (10.0.0.1 and 10.0.32.1)
Scanning open ports on 10.0.0.1 shows there a couple extra ports open compared to 10.0.32.1.
Anybody know what's going on here?
Which of the two addresses does fit into your LAN TCP/IP subnet? Post a screenshot of the Advanced home - in case that IP does show up. Here the Nighthawk is connected to a WWAN (LTE) mobile provider, assigning RFC1918 addresses (yes, nowadays we can consider this as abuse of these IP addresses - but I'm not interested to hunt Swisscom):
The other suspicion is that the other IP does belong to the OpenVPN related tun0 interface - that's the IP used for a many2one NAT for OpenVPN clients accessing the router via the NATed tun(not the bridged tap). Unfortuantely, this IP is nowhere visible in the Nighthawk Web UI. Different LAN subnet here than on your router - but you are a Linux person and get the idea:
This address is also accessible from the LAN, e.g. by using a Web browser:For your comparison:

Those IP addresses hint at the presence of a second router on your network.
Yeah, that's what I initally thought - the only problem is that, the IP leads back to the gateway (same admin credentials, settings, etc..)
So when I go to 10.0.32.1, it takes me to same admin console with all the same settings as my 10.0.0.1 console.
Even if somone is spoofing my network, then how did they get my admin creds and why leave it with the same user/pass?

What evidence do you have that this might be happening?
Be a sport, tell us what the modem is in front of your router. Then we can begin to see if the first theory is, as a suspect, a more likely explanation.
It is all too easy to get sucked into complicated theories and interpretations when the answer is staring you in the face.
Anyone?
Wondering if you have a PROXY set up? If on Windows you can see it this way:
- Select the “Start” button, then type “cmd“.
- Right-click “Command Prompt“, then choose “Run as Administrator“.
- Type “netsh winhttp show proxy“, then press “Enter“.
Does this happen on ALL devices you can use a Browser on?
Negative, no proxy. I primarily use Linux, nevertheless, I can access the router from both IPs on all devices in the building (including cellphones, tablets, laptops, etc..)
