Question 192.168.6.254 refused to connect.

[Jarnosd]

So I can't access my routers control panel. I can't even get to the login page. I have an ethernet connection. Just says "This site can't be reached". My router is the TEW-432BRP and Default Getaway 192.168.6.254. Can somebody help? Thank you! Comment if you want any more details.

My router is the TEW-432BRP and Default Getaway 192.168.6.254.

That's unusual address. Did you set it yourself?
Default address for your router would be 192.168.10.1

Can you show screenshot from command output of ipconfig /all
(upload screenshot from imgur.com and post link)

 

[Ralston18]

This router:

https://www.trendnet.com/products/product-detail?status=view&prod=165_TEW-432BRP

Run "ipconfig /all" (without quotes) via the Command Prompt and post the results.

The default login IP is 192.168.1.1

Reference:http://downloads.trendnet.com/TEW-432BRP/FAQ/FAQ_TEW-432BRP.pdf

Did you or someone change that?

 

[Jarnosd]

I don't know if somebody changed it. I don't know much about networking and such. I'm 14 and am trying to port forward my Minecraft server. Anyway, here's the screenshot:

Thank you so much for the help!

Someone changed the IP of the router or there is another router that is controlling your PC that has that IP address.

This is one of those you are best off asking who ever set this up. If it was your connection that you are responsible for I would recommend factory reset the router so that you know how everything is configured.

 

[Jarnosd]

I have no idea who set it up. I already tried to factory reset my router. I did it the day before yesterday. It reset the Wi-Fi name and password. I want to set the Wi-Fi password because it reset but now I can't because I can't access the routers control panel. I don't know what to do.

 

[bill001g]

Follow the reset process again. Most routers you must configure conencted via ethernet the first time. It should have been reset to the defualt ip. I would completely disconnect the router from everything except the 1 pc when you are doing the very first configuration.

 

[SkyNetRising]

If you reset the router settings, then it would change router lan ip address to default value.
You wouldn't be able to access router though old ip address.

Reboot your pc. Check default gateway address. It should have changed.
Try pinging router ip address.

BTW - to you have multiple routers connected?

 

[Jarnosd]

Hey. I reset the router but still the same geteway address. My router is connected to 3 things, if it's any help. Two PCs (including mine), and a RouterBOARD RB260GS (I don't even know what that is). Thank you for helping me!

 

[SkyNetRising]

Try
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

Check default gateway after this.
ping <default gateway>
(replace <default gateway> with ip address of default gateway)

RouterBOARD RB260GS - that's smart switch.

 

[Jarnosd]

Thanks but Default Gateway is still 192.168.6.254.

 

[Jarnosd]

Oh and ever since I reset the router, the ethernet has been randomly disconnecting every 5 minutes for about 5 seconds. Same applies to the Wi-Fi but even more frequently. What's all that about?

 

[Ralston18]

Run "arp -a" via the Command Prompt and post the results.

The results should have the following format but the numbers will be different.

And then "tracert 8.8.8.8"

Results:

PS C:\Users\* > tracert 8.8.8.8

Again: names and numbers will be different. However, the results of both commands will provide some insight about router and network. Curious about that smart switch.

 

[Jarnosd]

Ok. Here it is. Hope this helps.

Disable ipv6 - on both ethernet and wifi connections.

 

[nigelivey]

Try using a different browser to access the router login page or clear the cache on your browser.

 

[Jarnosd]

Hmm. Nothing hasn't worked yet and internet still keeps disconnecting randomly.

Did you disable ipv6?

Yes, I did.

I am wondering if we are barking up the wrong tree... The TEW-432BRP is a wireless G router. What if it is configured as an AP and the RB260GS (a MicroTik smart switch) is handling the gateway duties. It is an SFP capable switch, which could be used as a gateway for FTTH or something.
This could explain a few (but not all) oddities. If my guess is correct, that could explain some things.

QUESTION: Is there a cable connected to the WAN port on the TEW router? If so where does it go? Is there a fiber connected to the back of the RB260GS ? If so where does it go ?

 

[Jarnosd]

QUESTION: Is there a cable connected to the WAN port on the TEW router? If so where does it go? Is there a fiber connected to the back of the RB260GS ? If so where does it go ?

There is not a cable connected to the WAN port in the TEW. What do you mean by a fiber? I don't know what that is.

 

[kanewolf]

YES!!! That means that the TEW is NOT your gateway. The RB260GS must be. On the back side of the RB260GS, is there something plugged into the port ?

 

[Jarnosd]

On the back side of the RB260GS, is there something plugged into the port ?

No. Nothing plugged into the "SFP" port.

 

[kanewolf]

No. Nothing plugged into the "SFP" port.

OK. Not fiber to the house. What are the cables connected to the RB260? One to the TEW. What else ???
