MR1100 router - "Disabled WiFi" message

[ajs777]

I inadvertantly turned off my wifi connection through the mobil app.  I can no longer access the app to login because it doesn't see the wifi network.  Using 192.168.1.1 or  http://m1login.net to access the webpage doesn't work either, both Sarfi and Groogle Chrome time out or don't recognize the ip address.

Any recommendations on how to access the app or restore my network would be deeply appreciated.  

Thank you,

AJ

The iphone is giving you access to the internet, not to the hotspot.   I can't figure out how to recover the M1's network, I don't see it listed anywhere.---it won't be. you disabled wifi. You need to connect to it over ethernet or over usb to connect to it.   Any other thoughts?  I appreciate you trying to help me with this...I'm stumped! Thank you.

Make sure whatever device you're connecting to the hotspot, isn't on the "iphones wireless" you setup. just disabled the phone/tablet/pc that you setup to connect to usb of ethernet so it doesn't default back. but you need to access the hotspot over usb or ethernet to access it. 

or just factory reset the MR1100. there's a hardwired factory reset button under the battery cover. push and hold it for 10 seconds

Have you tried connecting a pc to the ethernet port and accessing its settings page that route? 

1. From a computer that is connected to your network, launch a web browser.
2. Enter http://192.168.1.1.
3. Enter the administrator login password.
4. Select SETTINGS > Setup > Wireless.

Plemans, thanks for the reply.  Unfortunately (in this case), I'm using a Macbook Pro...no Ethernet port.  I'm confused as to why I can't acess the pages using the hot spot on my phone.

Because the address's you're using to access the MR1100 are internal to your network. You have to be connected to the MR1100 to change its settings. And you disabled the wifi on it. 

It also has the option of connecting to it via usb.
