Resolved change LAN address belkin n300

My girlfriend I has an older modem/router from her ISP which has minimal range. She has trouble getting a reasonable signal from upstairs to the living room, directly below.

She purchased and used Belkin N300 router last winter in Florida when she was there because the ISP didn't offer a wireless modem/router.

When she powered up the Belkin she got a full signal from almost anywhere in the house so, I figured disable the wireless in the modem and connect the Belkin.

Problem is, when I attempt to log into the Belkin, the address (192.168.2.1) is the same as the ISP's modem (192.168.2.1) and I can only log into the ISP modem.

So I disconnected from the ISP modem network and was able to log into the Belkin (192.168.2.1). I thought, OK, change the LAN address and reboot the router. I changed it to 192.168.1.1 but then could not log into the Belkin at all. I had to do a factory reset to be able to log in again. I am thinking that there is something else I need to change.

Any advice would be appreciated here, thanks

 

Try changing the very last digit from a "1" to a "2 ".

ISP modem 192.168.2.1
Belkin router 192.168.2.2

 

Thanks, that did it Doc but I now have a new problem

Now when I disable the wireless on the modem and connect the router to the modem I can see the network (I gave it a different name) and can connect but there is no internet access.

I have this sort of setup in my home with the same ISP modem and a Dlink router and it works well for me

She is running Win7 Pro

 

Thanks Tony, I was able to get it up and running with your instructions
