hi i have a problem with my modem im with a belgium isp called orange and my router is a tp link archer c1200

after installing this succesfully i cant login to my modem anymore to check if dhcp is on or off admin admin doesnt work it did in the past noone changed it dont know if it matters but to login to modem i need ip 192.168.0.1 and my router 192.168.1.1

ps. i need to check the dhcp cause my modem and router i think both have it on my familie randomly disconnects from the internet every now and then so i think is a ip conflict between the two
 
Solution
You should have 1 WAN and 4 LAN ports on your router. Put the Ethernet cable from the modem in one of the LAN ports on the router (does not matter which one).

Then any devices already connected to the wireless connection coming from your router should be restarted just so they refresh their network connections.


If your "modem" is handing out multiple IP addresses via DHCP, then it is not simply a "modem", but rather a modem/router.
And having that, and your new router both doing DHCP will probably lead to conflicts, and some people getting kicked off the LAN.
Disable DHCP on one of the devices.
 


i know that if i turn off the dhcp on my router no one has internet on wifi
 


it says loging into oragne modem on the screen so yea its the right device
 
Not sure why the old credentials are not working.
But having said that, if you want to know if the modem (gateway) has dhcp on (it does) you can turn off dhcp, firewall and upnp on the router, then connect the LAN cable from the modem (gateway) to one of the LAN ports on the router and then restart the router.
Anything connected to the router will then start picking up 192.168.0.XXX IP addresses. You just turned your router into a Wireless Access Point.
 


Right, because that device is doing DHCP and WiFi.
You need to access the other device, what youa re calling the "modem", and see what that is doing.
You need to connect to it via an ethernet cable.

Log in to the admin screen, and see whats up.
 


thats the problem i cant login on it it just says that my password is whrong but no one changed it from admin admin
 


even if my routes gives 192.168.1.x ips or does that get removed by turning that all off ? also i cant find the upnp thing

I just did this and my phone is connecting fine with wifi but my pc (connected with cable to router) says "ethernet" doesnt have a valid ip config

ok putting on a static ip with 192.168.0.x doesnt work but 192.168.1.x does

Ok another update only my phone works but anyone elses says failed to optain ip i need to plug the ethernet cable in the wan port right?

your ISP would not have a simple password like that on your equipment. either you don't remember what the password is or your ISP doesn't allow you to log into the modem to mess with the settings. either way its their equipment so of coarse they would provide support for it.

 


i logged ino it before with admin admin but it think i fixed it i turned of dhcp and upnp and firewall on route and reconnected the ethernet on router from wan to lan
 


i randomly did this before you replyed and that fixed it thanks for everything im really relieved and my familie isnt cranky at my anymore xD
