I can't access the modem via web
Good morning. This is my first participation in this community. I hope to soon be able to collaborate and not just consult. It is about the following (I hope I can explain myself well, since I am new to these things). The device model is TD-W8901G. I indicate it here because in the model option, the model in question does not appear.
I have a fiber optic internet connection. The team is on the second floor and I spend all day on the first floor. To wire my laptop, I use a network cable. The wi-fi signal is good, but not throughout the ground floor, so I would like to have a repeater. I have had this equipment, the one I mentioned recently, for many years, and without use.
This was the first thing I did:
- Plugged in TP-Link
- I connected the network cable that gives you access to the internet.
- I disconnected from Wi-Fi on my laptop
- Connect with a common network cable, the laptop with the TP-Link using one of the 3 free ports, since the 4th. It is being used by the network cable that comes from the second floor.
- My laptop has internet access again.
- I check, with my cell phone, if there is a new Wi-Fi signal, and indeed there is, but at this point, I have no idea what the password was.
- I tried to connect to TP-Link via the web, but obviously I couldn't because 192.168.1.1 takes me to the equipment I have on the second floor.
- I disconnected the network cable that comes from the second floor and only my laptop was connected to the TP-Link, and of course, without internet access.
- I tried 192.168.1.1 and nothing happened.
- Reset the TP-Link, waiting for all the lights to come back on and all that.
- I tried 1l 192.168.1.1 again and now this appears.
However, if I connect the network cable from the second floor, I have internet access again.
I hope I have explained myself well. I hope you can give me the necessary guidance. I send you an affectionate greeting from Lima, Peru.
