Can't log on to WR841N after firmware update
Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : TL-WR841N
Hardware Version : V7
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Hi I hope that someone here can help me. I was having some difficulties accessing my WIFI in some areas of my house so, as part of my experimentation, I updated my firmware to see if that would make any difference. The file that I used was wr841nv7_en_3_13_9_up(120201).bin which, as far as I can tell, is the correct firmware.
My router and network still work, however, I can no longer log on to the page that configures the router.
Previously, the address for accessing my router settings was 192.168.50.2. Now when I try that, my browser doesn't access the page and eventually times out.
I have tried using IPCONFIG to find the ip address of my router. It tells me that the default gateway is 192.168.50.1. If I enter that, I get prompted for a password. However, the password dialogue says:
"A user name and password are being requested by http://192.168.50.1. The site says "www.repeatit.se"
and that "repeatit.se" doesn't seem right to me. Also, when I try the default username and password of "admin" "admin" (which is what my router was set to before the upgrade) it doesn't give me access.
I have also tried other suggestions of ip addresses with no joy. e.g. 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.0.1
So, basically the problem is that I have updated my firmware and can no longer access the configuration pages for my router. Can anyone help?
Thanks.
