I downloaded the network scanner to both the desktop pc and the laptop which
is running wirelessly. When I clicked on 'Auto detect Local IP Range' on
the laptop I got the following 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.55.101. I then
highlighted 192.168.55.101 and 192.168.55.1 appeared as well as
192.168.55.101 user pc private. If I click on 192.168.55.1 I can open the
router to change the password but this is not recommended by the router
manufacturer,
When I click on 'Auto detect Local IP Range' on the desktop pc which is hard
wired to the router via the modem from the ISP I get the following
0.0.0.0. 4.0.0.0 89.101.113.14 and 127.0.0.1. For some reason it is not
picking up the router. I am therefore not able to access the router from
the desktop pc to insert passwords to protect the wireless part of the
network. All suggestions gratefully received.
