For a while my Internet has stopped working. My house has two routers, one for the WiFi which is a Belkin and the other for routing wired connections for home entertainment systems which is a Netgear.
When I did a traceroute to my modem, I noticed my Netgear WNR 1000 router got the IP address of 192.168.1.2 instead of 192.168.1.1. I can still access its settings using 192.168.1.1 address. Whenever that Netgear router tries to send a hop there is a !H
symbol instead.
I've tried unplugging the modem and all the routers and plugging them back in. I have also tried doing ipconfig /release
and /renew
. When I removed the Netgear router at the expense of the home entertainment systems, the Internet started working again.
How do I got my Netgear to stop having the wrong IP address so I can have my home entertainment system back again?
