why i cannot connect to my reuter in any browser?
Julian:
that tool detects the ip address for the router you are connected to and will show if you have multiple routers. make sure you are plugged into port 1 on your router with an Ethernet cable. some routers require that to access them if the setting is enabled that is. as well as some router settings disable the use of wireless devices configuring routers as well.

Have you been able to access this router before or have you recently changed broadband provider? I've had modem/routers or separate modem router setups in the past supplied by ISPs where you couldn't get into the router to change settings. Sometimes, generally after a lot of hassle, the ISP has provided me with login and password - more often, if the modem has been separate, I've replaced it with my own router.......
Boggin:
When you enter the Default Gateway URL into the search box, do you get the prompt for username and password or just nothing.
If you are entering the Default Gateway IP address from an ipconfig /all then you will be using the correct one.

Hi, Sorry for delay in replying.
The delay is due to the internet connectivity problem i had .It was a peculiar one and i still need a solution.
all the lights are glowing on the bbwifi modem, but i could not get the internet. I tried troubleshooter. First it says some connectivity problem with the modem. Since i reset the modem button, as some said that it has to be reconfigured.
I tried all sorts of things. I checked the status by going to the adapter settings, in the network and share sesttings. The status showed no internet access on ip4 and also in ip6.
Every thing is ok, but i could not get internet.
dhcp was said to be not enabled in some times. It shows connected some times. I also got a peculiar message, that the modem could be correctly configured, the server at microsoft.com is failed to connect.
At sometimes, it says there is dns server problem.
i tried my ISP and he says some change in the router settings. That also did not solve the problem.
But nothing could provide me the relief.
Why these when everything is perfect, i could not get the connection , only some tech person would say. I have used the tool recommended by julian , and it shows the connection as 1 and provided me the default gateway.
Had i damaged anything. Should not the reset switch used, when modem is configured by service provider at the time of purchase? Shoud i reconfigure it.
The strange thing above all is when i shut down, it alerted me that do not shutdown as windows is configuring updates. Updates? !# How it is possible when internet connectivity is not established, i get the updates. Straaaaange..
Ok come to the final stage. I could write to you because, there was an old modem, which is very old, about 10 years, and i tied the loosened part to give it life and then connected. Wow, bingo and eureka.. i could connect to the internet.
Would you say what would have been the cause, when all lights, power, dsl,internet, lan lights are glowing , internet access failed.
As modem is just a dead bridge used for connection, how it is not allowing me the internet. What is microsoft.com server could not be connected with failed message?
How it allowed the age old modem, which i thought of disposing, to internet.
If i should reconfigure the problematic modem , could i do myself?

Hi, boggins One more thing.
When i type the gateway point, immediately i could access my router in IE.
What are these denotes.
Could i configure myself the wifimodem? If problem persist, can i replace the same. MY old modem does not support wifi.
