No connection with router after changing its IP to network prefix
I changed IP of my router from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.0, which is my network prefix. What should I do to retrieve connection to my router?
UPDATE
I am on LEDE project and router TP-Link Archer C7. One thing I came up with was running some startup script via USB drive. Do you have any ideas for such implementation?
You can try configuring your computer with the IP address 192.168.1.2
with the subnet mask 255.255.0.0
.
With the subnet mask 255.255.0.0
, the IP address 192.168.1.0
is just another node on the network instead of being the network address.
Once you've fixed your problem, put your computer's subnet mask back to whatever it was before.
This is all you can do from the client side to make communication with the router possible. If the router is unresponsive despite this approach, then your only option is the reset of last resort on the router.
