How to access router with DHCP server disabled?


Recommended Posts

I daisy chained two routers by enabling RIP on the first router and disable DHCP server on the second rounter while giving it a LAN ip outside of first router's DHCP pool.

However, after I disabled 2nd router's DHCP server, I don't know how to get back to its login page again. I tried connecting to the LAN ip I gave to the 2nd router, but I hit a dead end with no page found.

Both routers are Netgear. One is RP614, the other one is MR814.

Any help is appreciated :cool:

Huh? If your putting the 2nd router on the first routers network "while giving it a LAN ip outside of first router's DHCP pool. " Why would you turn on RIP? Did you turn on RIP on the first router? What routing information do you think you need to pass between these 2 routers that seem to be on the same network segment?

Reset the router to factory defaults if your having an issue connecting to its interface. What IP address did your machine have when you tried to connect to the 2nd routers interface? Where they even on the same segment?

Curious what IP address did you put on the 2nd routers WAN interface.. I would assume since you felt you needed Routing Information to be passed between these routers -- you would be routing.. and therefore one network connected to the WAN port, another on the LANs

Disconnect the 2nd router from everything but your machine.. then put your machine on the same segment as the routers LAN IP you gave.. try to connect to it then.

Dude are you wanting to route between segments on your network -- or are you just tying to create a access point out of your MR814? You do not need to turn on RIP for that.. and are you plugging the 2nd router into the first using one of its LAN ports..

Here is a guide on using a wireless router as an access point;

BudMan thx for the feedback. I already did what they said in the guide and the network was running fine. The only problem was that I couldn't access the 2nd router's login page. Later I found that I didn't assign an ip to the 2nd router in the same range as the rest of my network. The mistake I made was my network was running on 192.168.0.x, and I set the 2nd router to be 192.168.1.1, which is outside .0.x. After I fixed the ip to 192.168.0.254, I am able to login to the 2nd router.

Thanks again.

So you did just want an access point ;) I couldn't figure why in the world you would turn on RIP -- when you said you put the second routers IP into your orig address space??

Glad you got it working.

I do have RIP enabled on my 1st router. I don't have to do that for my configuration to work?

NO -- where did you get the idea that you need RIP??

The Routing Information Protocol, or RIP

RIP sends routing-update messages at regular intervals and when the network topology changes. When a router receives a routing update that includes changes to an entry, it updates its routing table to reflect the new route. http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/ci...ito_doc/rip.htm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_Information_Protocol

RIP is used to dynamically adapt to changes in network connections, you have 1 segment.. what routing info do you think you need to update. you only have 1 route.. ie your first router.. You don't even have any other routers on the network? You have an access point, and hosts. Who exactly do you think your sending Routing Updates too?

Even if you were using your 2nd router as a true router, and had a different segment.. RIP would not be needed.. since you would not be changing routes on the fly or adding new networks -- would you?

    • Microsoft 365 Roadmap Weekly: Compact notifications in Teams, improvements to Copilot & more by David Uzondu It is the end of another week, which means there's a new batch of additions to the public Microsoft 365 Roadmap. Most of the additions this week were focused on the usual Microsoft products like Copilot, Edge, Teams, and Outlook. Let's start with Edge, because a change is coming to how the browser handles links from other apps, with an expected arrival in August. If you use different Edge profiles for work and personal stuff, you know the drill. Right now, your setting for a default profile takes priority. When this Edge update rolls out, an application like Teams or Outlook can recommend a profile, and Edge will prioritize that recommendation instead. An admin policy called "EdgeOpenExternalLinksWithAppSpecifiedProfile" will be available for organizations that want to control this behavior. Microsoft Teams is getting a few tweaks aimed at improving day-to-day use, spread out across this summer. Arriving next month, notifications are getting a compact mode, which shrinks them down for a more minimalist look on your screen. The ability to save messages and posts is also on the way for August. Teams will also get noise suppression for people who dial into meetings with a phone. It will automatically filter out background sounds like traffic or keyboard clatter, making calls clearer for everyone involved. This is set to roll out in September. If you spend too much time digging through old emails, an update for Outlook planned for next month should help. A new "Browse Conversation Files" feature will gather every file shared within an email thread into a single, easy-to-access view at the top of the conversation. Moving on to Copilot, the AI assistant will get one-click buttons to instantly generate FAQ or briefing pages from content in your Copilot Notebook. For managers, a new "scoped access" feature for the Copilot Dashboard will let them see adoption and usage stats just for their specific teams. Microsoft is also bringing the basic Copilot chat to its Department of Defense (DoD) customers next month, with web access turned off by default to "meet US Government requirements."
    • AMD power plans are not a thing anymore. That was their poor man's attempt to influence scheduling in Windows until they got Microsoft to update the scheduler to better understand the concepts of CCDs, which are super important to getting the correct performance form Ryzen. I never really understood how a power plan could have that effect, but I do know they are no longer needed.
