Similar to many internet users you may have had a situation experiencing unusual error codes from your router
. You probably wonder what to do? Is it possible to see where the messages are coming from and why?
The simplest way should be to insert the IP address of your router into your web browser.
For example, http://192.168.1.1
If you can't think of the IP address of your router simply follow the following steps:
Click START on the desktop, then RUN. In the box type cmd and click OK. The command prompt will come out. Here you can find out your router's information.
In the command prompt type: ipconfig and then hit "Enter" on your keyboard.
It can appear something similar to this:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.5
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.1
If you see a "gateway address", that is the IP address of your router. You just have to type http:// in front of it.
While performing this you might get to a phase where a password is needed. The password is mainly printed in the manual, so it would be a good idea if you look there first. If you don't find it there, remember "Google is your friend". It won't be difficult to google for your router's default password.
If you still can't access it, because you don't use the default password, since somebody else or you have set up a new password, then in that respect is a simple solution. You can reset it by placing in a paper clip into the hole behind the router.
