Trying to access my routers menus

Routers are very easy to log into unless something is blocking it on the computer side.You can also do a factory rest on the router then you will know if it’s the router or the computer side as the router will reset to default.

but it will erase the password on the router and i currently can’t log in to apply a new one.
I might try disabling ufw and the vmware-networks service.

I’ve read every post in this thread.

@linub you haven’t yet posted any unadulterated outputs from the commands that others have asked of you.


Are you running Manjaro in a virtualized environment? What does VMware have anything to do with this?


EDIT: This is a case of “too much going on”.

UFW?
VMware systemd service?
Obscure D-Link router?

This comes off as a tangent to most plug-and-play setups.

nope

ip addr show|egrep /24
net 172.16.82.1/24 brd 172.16.82.255 scope global vmnet1
inet 192.168.108.1/24 brd 192.168.108.255 scope global vmnet8

Don’t filter the output.

If you need to “hide” a sensitive public IP, you can replace it with XXXXXX.

that’s all i got; 2 lines.

A simple solution would be boot your computer with a Manjaro live cd then find you ip address and log into the router with firefox.

didn’t work.Thanks though.

Why did you use egrep then?

An IP address that starts with 10. might use a different mask.

Did your internet access work?

And what is the output from this command?:

nmcli device show|grep IP4.GATEWAY

And if you try that one? We’re just shooting in the wind at this point.

Your gateway address is what you type into the browser to login.As I posted earlier you can use a live cd as well to login to the router .

nothing.

Ok, your Gateway number dont look like 10.0.0.138.

Try the ‘xxx.xxx.xx.x’ gateway address to access your router.

I maybe wrong but it looks like your local network enp3s0 is using ipv6.If that is your local ip range fe80::f1f5:4cc9:a75b:fecb/64 I have never used it I hope someone can help you more as all I’ve ever used is ipv4.

What @straycat said could also be the problem. And I think with the information we got from you we could not help futher.
So please check the following:

  1. find out to which device your cable is connected.
  2. if it’s ‘enp3s0’ setup a (for your network) valid ip4 adress.

As long as you mask your IPs with ‘xxx’ we can not differ it. Also there are helpful information missing. The ‘D-Link’-Router? Is it really a router with inbuild modem(cable or dsl) or just a modem. the model is interessing here.

Your network is always defined with a route - no matter the type of connection.

To get the router IP you execute below command

➜  ~ ip route  
default via 172.xx.yy.1 dev eno1 proto dhcp metric 100 
172.xx.yy.0/24 dev eno1 proto kernel scope link src 172.xx.yy.20 metric 100 

This example show that traffic is routed to the IP 172.xx.yy.1 defined for a network with 254 hostnames or IP addresses - namely 172.xx.yy.0/24

So your router will be at the default via address which in the example is 172.xx.yy.1.
