Cant access router Web Interface???

Ok so heres whats happened.

Ive got a Belkin N Wireless router, which i was playing around with (basically trying to set it up as an access point) when all of a sudden i cant access the web interface for the router anymore. Its like it cant find it.

Now the normal address i would use in the url is: 192.168.2.1 but it wont work anymore.

I was messing around with IP address settings and subnet masks etc could this have caused the problem???:yum

Is it possible the web interface url has changed??? Anyway i can find out what the new one is?? :confused

My laptop can still connect to the router but I cant access the internet or do anything else :cry

Any ideas?

 

Yes, do this. Start - run - type in "cmd" hit enter, then type in ipconfig, now where you see the gateway address thats what you should try to browse to for the routers web interface.

 

Also, it wont ping it.

Pinging fails :banghead

 

Tried it and its blank.

Its says "Default Gateway: ..... "

and thats it. No url :cry:cry

No idea whats happened here.

Anything else i can try??

 

I can't link you to your Belkin support page without a model but generally, Belkin says that configuration interface is disabled in access point mode.

I would say your next step is to reset the router, download the instructions and try again. One trick that I have used, if you have a configuration that you think is mostly correct and you want to test one more thing, save and backup the configuration to a file. If the test fails, reset and restore the configuration file back to the router.

 

Its a Belkin N F5D8236-4 v3. Ive tried pressing the reset button in which just seems to reboot the router but doesnt actually restore the factory settings.

How do i get it back out of Access point mode?

 

When you press the reset button keep it depressed until you see all the lights flash on the router.
