find the ip address on Linksys

gb flag
Bob

I get two differents Linksys routers : WAG54GX2 and WAP54G.

I tried to get the IP address to reset the routers correctly and verify if they are still working. So I use the RJ45 cable on my routers and linked them to my computer.

Then, I tried the default address : 192.168.1.1, I get nothing...

So I tried the cmd ipconfig/all, I get :

Based on what I saw : https://www.linksys.com/fr/support-article?articleNum=132891 , default gateway should not be empty... In my case it's empty.

Do you guys can tell me what is my trouble on this 2 routers?

EDIT, add screen shots for comment : enter image description here

DHCP is not running/working on the routers. The address 169.254.x.x indicates that your computer did not get an address from the DHCP server in the router.

@RonTrunk thanks. I checked : https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=135673 Seems like on step one, I have to do : https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article/?articleNum=140973 : `Enter your router’s default IP address, "192.168.1.1", or type "myrouter.local" in the Address bar then press [Enter].| ` -> and this is not working for me...

try setting your IP address manually to 192.168.1.2 (255.255.255.0) and see if you can connect. If not, there is something wrong with your router or cable,

Set the IP address on your computer. Use the Control panel

@RonTrunk, I tried, I edited the post, did I do it correctly? If yes, then it's not working and I changed my cable. Thanks

That is correct. Be sure to change it back to "Obtenir une adrese IP automatiquement."

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
