Question

Your SOHO router has failed and you have installed a new router. The old router's static IP address on the network is 192.168.0.1. The new router has a static IP address of 10.0.0.1. You go to a computer to configure the new router and enter 10.0.0.1 in the browser address box. The router does not respond. You open a command prompt window and try to ping the router, which does not work. Next, you verify that the router has connectivity and you see that its local connection light is blinking, indicating connectivity. What is the most likely problem and its best solution?

Answer 1

The computer and the router are not in the same subnet. Release and renew the IP address of the computer

Step-by-step explanation:

Routers, computers and Local Area Network must not be in the different subnet which also means that IP addresses of the computer and router should be on the same subnet mask.

The solution is to renew the IP address of the computer as IP address often cause this issue as sometimes the IP address either expires or there are conflicting issues with current IP address with those that the DHCP server gives out. of the computer. So renewing the IP address means that the device will request to get a new IP address. To release the IP means to release the current IP to get a new one. This can be done by using two commands in the command prompt i.e. ipconfig /release and ipconfig/renew.
