Accessing Draytek interface ...

[spirosharley]

Hello there guys ... i am a new and proud owner of an Asus RT AC2900 router and a Draytek vigor 130 modem. i have connected the DSL cable from the wall to the the modem , the modem is connected with an ethernet cable to the WAN port of the the router and finally the router to the port of my PC with an ethernet cable. i have entered my ISP password and username to the Asus which makes the call. i have access to the internet and everything is smooth. My question is the following : how can i access the Draytek's interface when is connected to the Asus ? right now by 192.168.1.1 i access the Asus interface. Thanks in advance guys

Simply open your browser and use 192.168.2.1 to find the Draytek GUI.

Enter the command

arp -a

in a command prompt. One of the IP addresses should be the IP address of the modem.

In your Asus GUI > WAN > Special Requirement from ISP

Is that set to "Yes" ?

Okay .

In your GUI click the icon marked red in this image.
What IP address/es do you have there ?

is it safe to write it in public ?

The second (modem) IP address is just a machine number , no problem showing that.

 

[spirosharley]

ok the second ip is 192.168.1.10

 

[AndreiV]

ok the second ip is 192.168.1.10

Okay that is the problem , the default for the Draytek is 192.168.2.10

Try this .


Connect the modem direct to your PC .
Create a new PPOE connection on your PC.
Use these details :
Set a static IP on your PC of 192.168.2.10 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and the gateway: 192.168.2.1
You should be able to access internet .
Now reconnect the modem to the router and try the Draytek GUI using 192.168.2.1

Otherwise , try resetting the modem to factory default and reconnect.
