Cannot access my Gateway at 192.168.12.1

OK so that explains the other IP address obtained while in the VPN tunnel. If you are in the VPN tunnel sure you would not be able to access the local gateway address. It makes sense. Good, you have it figured out. I also have the T-Mobile home internet router so I know the beast. Some users try to use their prior router with the T-Mobile router and don't or can't put them in bridge mode and forget about the second DHCP server related to the other device. 

Good, you are working!

My guess is that he plugged a router into the T-Mobile router, as you speculated, and it served the 192.168.12.1 DNS server up on its ethernet segment as the DNS server. No way clients on the second broadcast domain can ever be routed out and back as the T-Mobile router will never know of the ethernet segment on the other side of the other router. In effect he needs to turn that to bridge mode and disable the DHCP server or just shut the old router down. Unless there is a demand for expansion of the wireless to try to cover more area the best solution is to just go with the T-Mobile router. The second router would have the double NAT solution and well that could cause issues as well. 

Hola Tinker,

What "OLD" router are you referring to? Also the mesh router is to expand the coverage area. The only thing plugged into the Ethernet port on the TMOB Gateway (Modem/Router) is one of the Mesh units.

BTW, who is the “He” in the first line of your post?

Sorry if you are offended, no intention to do so. Was just trying to offer suggestions and help determine what was going on. The "he" would have been referring to the original author of the conversation, you. Cuándo gpmaz and I bantered back and forth trying to determine what was going on to try to offer suggestions that could help all the "specific details" of your solution were not clear. I supposed to be clear I should have inserted mb300e4m instead of "he". When the address 192.168.68.105 was exposed in the address data there were a few ways that could take place. Another router with a DHCP server o say a VPN which would account for a different IP address than the local network. If the mesh "router" has no DHCP server running that should not cause a problem. Of course with the VPN tunnel up that makes sense to have the client with the IP on the VPN. If not in a split tunnel it would make sense that local resources would be isolated from the VPN tunnel connection.

Thanks Tinker, no offence taken, I figured the “he” was me.

There was some discussion about bridge mode, but I know little about that.

It “might” all be a moot point, T-Mob “could” give me a static IP address, but that depends on a couple of things such as IP address location as in what physical locale; one up country or even just outside of my TV broadcast DMA would be as bad as what I have now, and of course the monthly cost of a static IP address.

Stay safe.

Thanks, but why would I want to turn off my WiFi on the router? That is how I communicate with the trashcan.

Some VPN's will have an option to allow local LAN access.  If this is for work though, they may want it locked down for security reasons... best to check with the IT guys before you go tinkering with it's settings.

What is VPN and how can I disable or uninstall so I will be able to access GUI 192.168.12.1?  Gracias
