@woozle I didn't know this is how it works. Thanks a lot!

You save me from all the troubles I might chance upon.

Can I ask why its not the 192.168.0.1 instead? I'm afraid this is new territory to me.

Not working net

Hello everyone!

 

I'm new into using separate router for our internet connection and this is my first time.

 

After the tech configure my router to connect on the building's internet, I noticed that on the configuration page of my router (192.168.0.1) on the Wireless section, a different Network Name (SSID) was indicated there. Which is vastly different from the Tether app.

 

For example, on the configuration page, on 2.4 GHz's Network Name (SSID) is TRexDinosaur.  But on the Tether app, it says, FlyingGargoyle. Also, the password is different.

 

Same on 5 GHz setting.

 

Take note that even though I am connected to the internet with this router, the name that appears on my laptop and other devices is FlyingGargoyle, not TRexDinosaur.

 

I am so confused why is this different. I plan on changing the name and password but I am in bind as to where to change it: whether the configuration page or on the Tether app.

 

I was thinking to change it through the configuration page because I can hide the router in broadcasting my SSID, which is not available in the Tether app, but afraid that if I change it, other users of the internet in this building might be affected.

 

Help a newbie one out.

If a TP-Link router detects that the network connected to its WAN (Internet) port uses the subnet 192.168.0.x, then it will automatically change its own LAN IP address to another subnet (usually 192.168.1.x), because the subnet of the WAN and the LAN must be different for the network to function.

Anyway, if your Archer AX12 is connected to another router that uses 192.168.0.1, then the AX12 cannot use 192.168.0.1 as well.
