Windows 10: Gateway router unreachable ?

I've searched for a solution to this problem over the course of several days; I cannot get one computer to see the gateway router, that includes entering the IP for the router; it just won't connect. The only change that occurred was a change from an older router to a new router; everything within Windows has not changed. The commands ipconfig /flushdns works; but ipconfig /renew doesn't work without the error, media disconnected ?

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.

 

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

I don't believe so, as I think the logs only show user changes on the router (like changing the admin password or ip address etc...)

I am temporarily now using a computer mobile hotspot in place of the switch to see if the gateway router is possibly faulty.

I was thinking I could possibly change the switch IP to something like 192.168.2.1 (the mobile hotspot seems to use 192.168.137.x) , but would I still need to leave DHCP off? or if this is even possible?

Well, I did switch around both the router and switch, changed various settings, did a 30/30/30 reset on each, and it seems stable now *Wink.
Its been over 24 hours without the gateway or switch going offline, so fingers crossed it will stay that way.

For those also experiencing the same problem, I did some things which may help you:

• Perform a 30/30/30 reset
• Let the gateway router automatically detect IP settings (if possible)
• Try your ISP provided DNS address's first ^
• Use the more modern/reliable router as the gateway
• Use the very last IP possible on the switch, well outside the DHCP of the gateway

I believe the problem was my internet settings may have been configured incorrectly (no idea how), DNS I think... *sarc

 

connection to gateway router

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
