I need help connecting to the internet

Support Network
1

Hi
i just changed an internet provider
i used to connect with PPoE; username + password that i put in KDE connections settings.
i now got a TP-Link modem/router on which i put the ISP provided credentials in the router’s set up page.

i did it on a windows PC through the address 192.168.1.1 and then windows automatically got connected to the internet(no need to put those credentials inside Windows itself like i used to do).

now here on Linux i get no available connections,i have no internet and unable to access the router’s setup page(192.168.1.1/192.168.0.1).

i remember that with my previous modem/router i also couldn’t access the setup page but didn’t care much since i had internet.
here’s the related thread:

Set a static IP using network manager e.g. if your router is 192.168.1.1 - you set an address of 192.168.1.100 using a netmask of 255.255.255.0.

Then open a browser and connect to 192.168.1.1 and setup the connection params.

Or you can do it on the command line - e.g. if you nic is eno1

sudo ip address add 192.168.1.100/24 dev eno1

from your inxi

sudo ip address add 192.168.1.100/24 dev enp3s0

i did what you suggested,manged to redo the router’s setup;
it says congratulation connected,i have an IP,up/down speed is recognized,but can’t access web pages.

4

Neither route nor dns is set - you need to revert your system’s nic to dhcp in network manager then disable/renanble network

It’s likely easier to just reboot your system - the manual ip assignment doesn’t survive reboot.

Thanks so much,
i rebooted and now have internet.
