resetting version 1 archer c50
I have recently bought this second-hand, though I have already bought a new one.
I've reset it using the small black button on the back I have TP-LINK_0500 TP-LINK_0500_5G, which I can connect to and use the internet from.
I'm trying to use the box as an access point if I try to browset to 192.168.178.20 I get "Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 192.168.178.20."
If I connect to the laptop directly, I get the same result.
Clearly this is the wrong IP address for the c50 [I think it might be my laptop]
Any help in working out the IP address of this C50 would be appreciated. My other [new] C50 is sitting at 192.168.178.50

ipconfig gives me this when connected to TP-LINK_0500
