Re: M2000 MiFi vs ethernet router
Excellent idea, thank you for laying that out for me. I made those changes in the C1000A admin page, saved the changes, and found they did not take. I tried several times. Very frustrating. Then I made the mistake of turning off DHCP (thinking that I needed to make the IP changes between DHCP off/on. Yikes! Thereafter, I couldn't get into the admin page to re-enable DHCP, stuck with no internet access. Eventually, the router wasreset to factory defaults (and DHCP is on by default). After much trial and many errors,I found on my Windows 10 PC that I needed to delete the Network Bridge (thereby isolating my PC from the router providing its own DHCP). Then I could browse to 192.168.1.1 and log in to the admin page. If I then recreated the Network Bridge, the admin page immediately told me that I had lost internet connection -- not "accurate" because I could browse the internet via MiFi with/without the Bridge. The Bridge is only needed so we can see the ethernet network in the office, particularly the printer. Anyway, deleting/creating the Network Bridge is an acceptable level of inconvenience for accessing the admin page. Thanks for your help.4Visto0likes0ComentariosM2000 MiFi vs ethernet router
I have an ethernet network in home office, connected to an ISP router (DSL). I unplugged the DSL line and installed M2000 5G MiFi, and redirected my Windows 10 desktop to connect to the M2000 for internet access; the desktop still uses the ethernet to access the printer. This seems to work well. My problem: for some reason, I cannot access the web admin page for the MiFi. The ipconfig command output shows that the default gateway is 192.168.0.1, which is the IP address of the ISP router. When I try to access the documented admin web pages (http:/my.MIFI/ or 192.168.1.1) the browser says "this site can't be reached". Same results if I try to browse to the IP address in the "About" info on the MiFi itself (192.0.0.2). Any help would be appreciated,Thanks!382Visto0likes3Comentarios
