Windows 10: Gateway Router Stops Responding/Stuck with a 2nd Router (Switch/Repea)

Hi all, this is not a problem directly related to Windows 10 but rather with my current network and router setup.

I currently have my gateway router and my switch router which I have setup using a Seven Forums tutorial: Multi Router Network - Configure - Windows 7 Help Forums

The gateway router and switch are both a Huawei HG659 and are connected via Ethernet. (Wireless and Ethernet capable.)

The gateway router is connected to the internet via my modem (WAN Port) and has two Ethernet connections, to my switch router (LAN 3) and to my computer (LAN4).

The internet is shared between the two routers through a DECA, which goes from Ethernet to coax and to Ethernet again.

The switch router is connected to LAN1 from the gateway router and has another ethernet LAN2 to my playstation.


The problem occurs from anywhere between 12 hours - 24 hours where the gateway router loses internet connectivity, and thus both routers lose internet via wi-fi and ethernet. A restart of the gateway router and modem fixes this.

During this time I can't access my gateway router (http://192.168.1.1) but I can access my switch (http://192.168.1.253)

All my IP and wifi settings are identical to the tutorial. I am thinking there is some kind of conflict... same router? static IP problem? DECA problem?

Any ideas?

Safely Changing Router Password

HI Sherry,

You should still be able to manage your router's password even with the prompt for the site not being secure. Though if you are unable to completely access your router's gateway, you can use the router's IP.

To get the IP, follow the following steps.

• Press Windows key and X.
• Select Command Prompt.
• Type: ipconfig /all.
• On the information that will show, look for DHCP Server, take note of its IP.

You can type the IP to your browser to access your router's gateway.

If you are still having concerns with accessing your router's gateway, best to contact your internet service provider if they are the ones who gave the router, or the router's manufacturer for further assistance.

Regards.

I have rebooted both the router and the phone to no avail. The phone will connect to my old Linksys router ok. My i-phone will connect to the gateway as will my PC and I-pad
