Can't connect to router anymore (TP-Link WDR3600)

Post by whizz »

So I got this router with a fresh install of Gargoyle (1.6). Logged in successfully, changed password and all was good.

However I then changed the router IP from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1 and it just kept hanging there. Now I can't connect to either of the IPs.

I'm on Win7. Tried to telnet into each IP to no avail. When I pinged the router it responded only on 192.168.1.1:

Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data;
Reply from 192.168.1.70: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 192.168.1.70: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 192.168.1.70: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 192.168.1.70: Destination host unreachable.

Ping statistics for 192.168.1.1
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss)

I tried resetting with a short holding of the button and by holding it for 30+ seconds.

Any ideas what I could do to get it back working?

Cheers

I have done several more resets and switched it on and off again. Nothing.

Pinging still results in 192.168.0.1 getting a "request timed out" and 192.168.1.1 "unreachable".

Tried ipconfig ?
There you should see Default Gateway IP
try that IP

Yeah, that showed me 192.168.0.1 as result. But you got me an idea and that was to check my IP settings. I still had it set to a static one with the gateway of my other network ... rookie mistake!!!

Thanks :)
