I have two wireless repeaters and can no longer access their set-up / admin page via default IP 192.168.10.1
I don't know the brand of the repeaters, which are commonly sold on eBay. Here's one example: eBay Item # 300829809133
They work well as repeaters, but it's frustrating that I can no longer access their set-up / admin page via default IP 192.168.10.1.
Right now I have only one repeater plugged in and connected to my laptop via ethernet cable. The 2nd repeater is unplugged. The Wifi on my laptop is switched off and disabled, so I'm actually connected to the Internet via my laptop's ethernet port via ethernet cable to the repeater's ethernet port, then via wifi signal from the repeater to my Zyxel wireless router and Comcast cable modem.
If I'm connected to the Internet via the repeater, why can't I access the repeater's set-up / admin page using default IP 192.168.10.1? When I enter http://192.168.10.1/ into Internet Explorer, I get only the error message "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"
I've also tried http://192.168.10.2, but get the same error message.
If I enter the default address for my Zyxel wireless router (http://192.168.1.1), the Zyxel admin page immediately opens.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong, and what to do to access the repeater's set-up pages? Is the solution different if both repeaters are plugged in? I.e., can both have the same default IP at the same time?
Here's the ipconfig /all settings:
