Can't access Cisco SML2008 web interface?

tman2damax11 · May 12, 2018

I've had this router for a long time and used it in the past but it's recently been sitting on a shelf for a couple years. I finally have a use for it and it's working flawlessly. However, I can't for the life of me access the web interface for it. I know I have in the past by simply typing in the default IP, 192.168.1.254, but it's not working this time. I've tried accessing it with 2 laptops, one with a dedicated ethernet port, the other with a USB C adapter, and both can't find the page. Any ideas? I need to access the configuration because some settings might conflict with my router's. Thanks!

Did you reset using a pen? Maybe you had the IP changed when you were last using it.

Run a IP Config test and post the results

Simply plug the router into a computer with no other internet connection and run ipconfig the default gateway is the IP. If that doesen't work just reset it and reuse the IP on the lable.

Find the default gateway of the router (you can find this in multiple ways, one that I recommend is looking at the WiFi configuration for your access point on a iOS device because you don't have to go through many menus ), and try that. Another thing you can do is port scan your local network for open ports. This will show you what ports devices on your network are listening on, and maybe the router will show up. If you see that there is a port open on the router with an IDS, you might have to manually reset the router by pressing the little button on the back with a pin. Sometimes, the IDS will block a device from accessing its admin page if it detects "suspicious" traffic on your network. You could also post your netstat info as shown above to help.
