Login Issues and Troubleshooting with 10.11.12.1
While the login steps are easy and simple to perform, you may sometimes face some issues. Here are the common ones and how you can fix them:
- Incorrect Username or Password: This happens if one forgets their username or password and also if the default ones fail. In most cases, the router’s default username and password is admin. If this doesn’t work, there is a likelihood that you might have altered them. For this reason, the administrator must use the factory reset function and press the reset button for the indicated amount of time and log in with the backup.
- IP Address Conflict: When two computers are both using the same IP address, the network will not respond to it. Hence, restarting the computer or mobile device may be sufficient to rectify this, as it allows for IP address refreshing. In some cases, restarting the router may clear all the IP addresses being used and eliminate the conflicts. If not, it is advisable to hard reset the router setting to restore the settings to defaults.
- Network Not Visible or Not Connecting: At times, it has been noticed that the network related to 10.11.12.1 is not shown under the Wi-Fi list on the device, and the device is unable to connect to the network. In order to do that, make sure that the router or device is switched on and connected properly. You may also need to change your location to enable you to reach cross places without losing signal strength to the device in question.
- Forgotten Admin Password: For those people who have forgotten the custom administrator password that you created, the only practical and the only way to do this is also a hard reset of the device because only this measure helps.
When you apply these guidelines, you will be able to correct most of the challenges associated with gaining access to the devices communicating through 10.11.12.1 IP. If the issue persists, it would be advisable to consult the user manual or get in touch with customer support.
