Converting from previous pre-installed gargoyle

[James.bailey]

Okay. I believe I am rigged up as you requested. Mac network preferences says “configure IPv4: Using DHCP”

IP Address: 192.254.116.208. ( it was different before I restarted Mac mini.

[James.bailey]

Now the IP has changed to 169.254.116.208.

The status is “connected” with the note that “Ethernet has self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet.”

This IP address (192.254.116.208) is a public IP from your ISP and is not the IP address that Gargoyle would assign you.

[RomanHK]

This address (169.254.116.208) will pop up if the network does not get IP from DHCP.
Is Gargoyle in default? or have you already set it up?

[James.bailey]

I am not sure what it means to be in default.

Yesterday I connected the gargoyle router to my Mac mini with its eithernet cable and typed the 192.168.1.1 address into my web browser. As expected, I got a gargoyle page and entered the default password, which worked. I changed it, entered all the rest of the information requested on that page, and logged out to reconnect the router to the satellite modem. I then got internet service, but no ability to log back into the gargoyle browser.

Again, thank you for continuing to help.

O.K.
So it looks like you have a bad configuration, or you accidentally turned off your DHCP server.

One more try before reset to default.

Set Manual Configuration on PC:
IP: 192.168.1.101
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS: 192.168.1.1

Try if you get a ping answer:

Code: Select all

ping 192.168.1.1

[ispyisail]

can we confirm this is the router you have

https://shop.gargoyle-router.com/produc ... -router-v3

[James.bailey]

Yes. I get 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1 over and over.

[James.bailey]

Yes. The picture matches what I have.

Try RomanHK suggestion

Assuming GL-AR150

This is the path we are going down

1. Fail-safe rest (first option)

or

2. re-flash via hardware recover (second option)
