Hi all! I cannot get internet access through my Belkin N1 Router. My LAN connection is perfectly fine, and WORKS even when connected through the router, but I think there might have been an issue with some settings being changed. I cannot access 192.168.2.1 to CHANGE any of these settings. I have tried the reset button on the router to no avail and all of the connections. I am not sure what I can do. I have tried pinging 192.168.2.1 and I get 'Request timed out' so obviously it isn't connecting. What can I do to fix this? I have included what SHOWS up when I type ipconfig /all

192.168.2.1 can't be reached because you are not on that subnet. Your machine has a IP of 67.182.251.112 with a gateway of 67.182.250.1

What this means is that your machine is picking up a DHCP settings from your ISP and not your router. You will need to configure your router for DHCP to your client machines to get this to work.




I have this exact same problem. What do you mean by:

"your machine is picking up a DHCP settings from your ISP and not your router. You will need to configure your router for DHCP to your client machines to get this to work."

How do I configure my router for DHCP?


Disconnect the internet plug and restart all the things through to the computer. Then without it being plugged in perform 'ipconfig /all' again, and see what your default gateway is.192.168.x.x is an internal IP. So is 10.x.x.x & 172.x.x.x.

You must be running a router or have a DHCP server to access these IP's.

ale52, the ranges of private IPs are:

192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (right as you said)
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (you made an error regarding this range)
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (right as you said)

And, more recent, the IPs used by Windows apipa (169.254.0.0 - 169.255.255).
I'm apologizing for my "error corection". I hope I did not upset you for that.

Question: spicy7384, do you have more routers? Your computer has more network adapters? Is any of network adapters connected through wires to something?
