I have an Edimax BR-6228nS and I set it up as an access point a while ago. I also changed a lot of settings on there and even turned off the DHCP. I need to use it as a router now so I am trying to get into the configure page. After resetting the router, the IP address is still the not the default one. I still can't access it. When I type in ipconfig in the command prompt all it shows is the ip address that connects to my modem. This is what it shows when i type in ipconfig /all. 192.168.15.3 only directs me to my modem's set up page. This is confusing me, is the router not being recognized?

When I said 192.168.15.3 I meant 192.168.15.1. Sorry for the confusion, the router acts like it's not there but clearly the modem is connected to the router and connected to my computer.

Your modem is handeling the DHCP on your network so you can find the address of the router from the DHCP pool on your modem. Enter your modem setup, go to DHCP settings and you will find a list of connected devices. Each of the connected devices has an address and a hostname. Look through the list and you should find your router there. Type the address of the router (you found in the DHCP list) into your browser. You should now see the login page of your router.
You should asign a static IP to your router, something like 192.168.15.2 so you can find it every time. You can also start your DHCP address pool at 192.168.15.10-192.168.15.50 use the first 10 addresses for your networking hardware etc.
