Recently, I tried to connect an ethernet cable to my Dlink Dir-615 router and it didn't work for some reason. It's stuck on a loop where the PC tried to identify the network constantly to no avail.
I then figured to try to access the settings, but using the default "192.168.0.1" IP adress only directs me to the modem's settings page, not the router's (even if I'm connected through the router's wi-fi). If I use "192.168.1.1" it says "connection blocked.
I realize some routers block acess to the settings through wi-fi, but the ethernet cable simply won't work. I've tried tuning everything off and on again, disconnecting the WAN port on the router and using an ethernet cable to access it (which still doesn't work). I'm not sure if both the modem and router are on the same IP adress, and either way I can't connect to the router via ethernet cable to confirm.
Wi-Fi is working perfectly though.
I'm at a complete loss on what to do, and google searching is not helping either. The only thing I haven't tried yet is to reset the router to factory settings, because I'm afraid ethernet will still not work (therefore making me unable to so much as use the wi-fi connection) and also having to set up all the wi-fi connections again will be a pain (I use multiple wi-fi extenders).
