IP for Router

ElroyH · 25 Dec 2015 at 10:37

Hi Guys this should be a simple question for you I think. I have my phone line going into an SmartAX MT882 then an ethernet from that to an Asus RT-AC66U Router which then transmits receives WiFi. I want to change some settings in the Asus Router but when I type in 192.168.1.1 it takes me to the MT882 router settings and I want to get into the Asus.

Any help appreciated.

Thnx Lee.

You could try a trace route from the command line "'tracert bbc.co.uk", it might show up but the odds are it might have the same ip so you'll not be able to connect to it without directing connecting to it.

Hey.
I helped configure an Asus router the other day. 192.168.1.1 is the default. If that doesn't work I believe you can use http://router.asus.com .

Thnx Guys, using the router.asus.com worked. Don't think the Tracert would work on this laptop as it's running Ubuntu. Need to sort my windows gaming rig out over xmas as i've left it to dry for over a month now after the tubing came off the pump and filled it with coolant. Think I got away with it but not 100% lol.

Ping router.asus.com

Chances are that both your Asus and the other thing have 192.168.1.1 as there IP

Doesn't mean there isn't an IP conflict though.

True, if it's the same then change the ASUS to 192.168.1.2

Also make sure the DHCP pool is say 192.168.1.10 or .100 onwards...

tracert is just traceroute on Linux, glad you sorted it

Couldn't get the Traceroute to work, im still trying to work out Linux as a new user. I worked out 192.168.1.1 brings up the MT and 192.168.2.1 brings up the Asus so i take it that is their IP's and there is no conflict. Know this is a noob question lol.

Also if it helps the Asus software is telling me 192.168.2.1 is the LAN IP and 192.168.1.5 is the WAN IP.

Many thnx.

Everything seems to be working fine anyway.

Try mtr if you are using Linux.
mtr 192.168.x.x

My thoughts exactly. OP choose a router, turn off DHCP etc on the one you're not using.

Or make sure you have a note of your PPPoE connection details and turn the TalkTalk router into a bridge.

Have to use the MT as a modem as the Asus is just a router, so i should just turn off NAT and DHCP on the modem?

I can put screenshots up of router settings if helps? Anything i should cover up? Thanks guys. Sorry if basic question.
