Windows 10: Cannot access \\192.168.1.1 to enable guess access

I just replaced my Window 10 desktop with a new Window 11 pro desktop a week ago after the former was broken. The broken PC SSD drive was intact and I have access to it. Prior to it got broken, the old pc was able to connect to my Linksys E3000 router through \\192.168.1.1. At that time, I had my main wifi enable but had the Guest access disable as I only want to enable it when needed. My new Window 11 PC can connect to my main wifi since it was enable but not the Guess wifi as it wasn't enable in the router. I tried \\192.168.1.1 on Chrome and M Edge without success. M Edge said: file

Can't access router config page 192.168.1.1

Thank you for your answer, I have done what you have said and I've found that https://192.168.1.2 is the Admin Configuration Settings page.
but why it is not on the https://192.168.1.1 page ?

 

Can't access router config page 192.168.1.1

Whatever make of router you have it should be listed in File Explorer in Network under 'Network Infrastructure'. A double-click should open its web page, a right-click and select Properties will tell you its IP address.
