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 was reset 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.19Views0likes0CommentsM2000 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!422Views0likes3Comments
