Try a factory reset on the router and then walk thru the setup wizard.
Then follow the PDF to setup AP mode for the .80 IP address, after you apply that, you should be able to log into the AP mode configuration at 192.168.1.80.
What FW version is on the router?
- I ve already done that (reset factory)
It is impossible to reach the pages of the r8000 interface.
I don t know what s the version ofbthe formware, but it has never been updated since it was installed 6 years ago...After a factory reset you should be able to start the web page at 192.168.1.1.
- ok. So I must unplugged my Internet provider router first, while it has already this ip adress.
i ll make a try next week
