I have a secondary router which is running dd-wrt, and configured as a wireless repeater on my home network. It functions perfectly well, but I would like to log in to change the settings.

I am currently connected to the router via ethernet. This router is on IP 192.168.1.1, but the connection is refused when I try to access it in a browser.

So I ran a scan on the IP.

PORT   STATE    SERVICE
22/tcp filtered ssh
23/tcp filtered telnet
53/tcp open     domain

I tried these commands to access the router:

ssh [email protected] -p 22
ssh [email protected] -p 22
ssh [email protected] -p 22
telnet 192.168.1.1 23
telnet 192.168.1.1

In each case, the connection times out with no response.

Is there anything else I can try to access the router? I could do a hard reset, but would prefer to avoid that if possible.

  • Can you access the router via GUI? Sep 1, 2015 at 7:47
  • No, typing 192.168.1.1 into a browser gets rejected

  • 192.168.1.1 is an odd address for a wireless repeater bridge. It is more suitable for your main router. Are you sure the dd-wrt has this address? Sep 1, 2015 at 8:28
  • I am almost sure, as that's how I remember it, and I did scan it. But is there some way to verify it? I know that my primary router is on 192.168.0.1

  • If your primary router is 192.168.0.1, how can your wireless repeater be on 192.168.1.1? A wireless repeater is supposed to be something that allows the whole LAN to be on the same subnet, 192.168.0.0/24, see here: dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Repeater_Bridge Sep 1, 2015 at 8:52

Thanks to Marius Matutiae's comment, I was able to solve my problem by setting up an IP address on the correct subnet (192.168.1.0/24). After doing that, the web gui is accessible as normal.
