2nd router issues

[xcoyote]

I'm setting up a point to point network but I'm running into an issue using a 2nd router at the end of the line. Seems the router I have has the same IP login as the ISP modem/router.

When I type that IP in the URL bar, the ISP's login screen comes up, not the router I want to configure.

I'm not a techie, but I do dabble a bit. Can someone tell me how I can access the second router so I can change stuff?

Use the LAN numeric address of the device like http://192.168.1.1 but use the actual IP address of the device in your network.

If you are running Windows open a command prompt window and type "ipconfig /all" and hit the Enter key. It will show a list of IP addresses and should yield enough info to identify the router.

If you're not using Windows search for "how to find device ip address on local network".

have you changed the ip of the second router?if not, plug one of the lans of the router straight to the lan of your pc and configure it from there!

I did plug the second router into my PC. Typed in the IP address per the instructions and the modem log in screen shows up.

I thought the 192.168.x.x stuff was the IP address. Now I'm even more confused than I was before! LOL

Disconnect from the modem or turn the modem off while the router is attached to the computer and try it again.

well if you can see the login screen when you connect it directly, just get into settings and change it's ip
