Connection issue detected with the router.
Connection issue detected with the router.
So I have had a Linksys EA7300 for a year now and a few days ago I suddenly lost internet connection. I noticed the router was reporting it didn't have an internet connection. So I tried reseting it to see if that fixed the problem, it did not. I switched the it with a little travel router I have (GL-MT300N) and it works. Is there anything I can do to fix my router or do i need to get a new one? thx in advance some pictures of the panels in case they help: Linksys Gl.inet
You might reset the device or upgrade its firmware, though these consumer models typically can't be repaired hardware-wise. If neither of those solutions works, you're in a strong position. It's time to switch to a new router or check if a warranty is still available.
The issue concerns your IP address configuration. It seems the assigned address appears public rather than private, which shouldn't be the case for access points or hosts. Consider switching your gateway to a private range such as 172.16.0.0/24 or 10.0.0.0/24, and update your host address accordingly—like 172.16.0.1 or 10.0.0.1. The IP you're using now resembles a public NAT address.
It seems unusual since I learned in school that certain address ranges are reserved for networks or hosts. Maybe the rules vary by location.
This connection is just for that specific router; the Linksys model uses 192.168.1.1 as its default address.
