I'm trying to get to my Asus router's (AC3200) admin page, but I haven't been able to. I did the ipconfig in the command prompt window, got the IP address of my router, but it keeps spitting back "This site can't be reached" with an ERR_Connection_refused. I've looked that up, & tried turning off ad-blockers, I've tried turning of my AV, and I've tried 2 different browsers (currently using & prefer Brave, but I tried Chrome & Edge & couldn't connect.

I'm at a loss, & have no idea how to proceed from here : (. Can anyone help me/walk me through what to do to diagnose this?
 
Maybe some more info... What is your PCs IP address? What do you think the router's address is?
 
Hi all, sorry for the long delay (out of town for a family wedding!).

PC's IPv4 address is listed as 192.168.2.44/24 in the "View Hardware and connection properties".

I think my routers address is 192.168.2.1? That was the value I got from doing the ipconfig thingy in a command prompt. The typical 192.168.1.1 is my internet...modem? Bah, I don't know what to call it: I've got internet through one of those cell box sort of things, so it's effectively my modem.

I tried the https option (both as the 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.2.1) without luck :/.
I know I've been able to connect to my router before, but I also remember having a similar sort of situation then as I am now. Unfortunately, I was dumb & didn't write the procedure I used to finally connect down >_<.
This time around I've also tried doing asus.router.login sort of permutations, but haven't had much success with those this time.
 
Try asusrouter.com
 
No dice :/. I gave both http & https versions of "asusrouter.com", and I get "This site cannot be reached", DNS_probe_possible in both cases :p.
 
Are you running a VPN? Do you have another device on your network running dhcp? Is there any other "exotic" setting/service/device on your network.
Basically we need more info. For sure the /24 network will only show one network, /16 would be needed to access bot the 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.2.0 networks from your pc without some edits to iptables(?).
I could have just shortened all this by suggesting dhcp is running on the modem and is upsetting your whole network.
 
Oh.
Part of the problem is that I just don't know : (. Like, I wish I could answer all the questions you posed, but I don't know the answers, and I don't know how to find out the answers : (.
Is there a way to disable the dhcp thingy, or will I need to do a factory reset on the router?
