I have a SONIC branded modem , SMART/RG 802.11ac VDSL2 Gateway Model SR516ac
Its already set up and I have a couple of default wireless networks
I thought I was supposed to be able to log in to it from a wirelessly connected device (I tried Chromebook, Windows 7 laptop). I used 196.68.42.1 -- it will just sit there and wait. no responses.
Is there a firewall or something that is preventing it from logging in? OR Do I need to do it from a device that is already on the LAN? (this is my suspicion).
PS - its probably a good thing if wifi users cant access the router - even if they did know the pasword (from the bottom of the routers base).
Any help and ideas are appreciated.
