Check the Default Login IP address and Username Password

The first step of troubleshooting is to make sure you are using the correct default IP address that is printed to the router sticker and not changed already if trying to access the old router.

The laptop/Computer should be in the Same series IP address

If you used your laptop for a different location and you configured Lan IP manually then you have to check if the laptop in the same series IP address or use the DHCP option to IP address from the router itself.

Go to network settings and make sure the IP address settings are in the DHCP option. Or use 192.168.0.2 as a static IP address to access 192.168.0.1 from the browser.

Network & sharing center – change adapter settings from the left side menu.

And change Ethernet IP address settings.

Avoid typing the Wrong IP address.

While typing IP address into the URL bar, ensure you are using 192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.0.1 without https 192.168.0.1.

If you using https://192.168.0.1 or www.192.168.0.1 or 192.168.O.1 or 192.168.0.01 all will be the wrong IP address and refused by the browser.
