4g router web log in interface page refuses to connect on laptop

[JohnGalway]

I feel I should be drooling slightly writing this question so foolish and inadequate to do I feel around internet technology.

I bought a 4g router (it's for outdoor use on the farm). From my laptop I changed the admin password and the network key from the standard admin and 1234567890.

As far as I am aware............ that's all I changed.

When I type in the address of the interface page Chrome tells me "this site can't be reached", and below that I get the address and "refuses to connect"

Cheek of it.

I do have access to the interface page etc on my android phone and the internet is still working fine through the router.

How do I regain control of my wayward and obviously smarter than me router through my laptop on Chrome?

If this is to degenerate into a HAL 2000 / embryonic Skynet situation then, which 12g cartridge would be appropriate for a 4g router to nip it in the bud and save mankind?

As 12g obvs beats 4g.

Something to try, it worked on something for me in the past.

Issues/ suggestions

• You are not connected to the correct wireless network via the laptop, worth checking
• Are you able to ping the router via the laptop
• Can you try using a different browser such as Edge or Firefox
• Try clearing the browser cache
• Validate if you are using the same web address as that of the android phone
• Worth checking the laptop firewall in case access to devices on the local network is blocked
• replace https:// with http:// and see if it automatically routes to the correct page location
• If eveything fails, you could reset the router and start again, provided you haven't done much configuration change to it

Perhaps your router's IP address might have changed. Try accessing the interface using the new IP, which you can find in the router settings on your phone. I have the same when bought a 4g router from giffgaff but signal booster for my giffgaff bad signal https://www.uctel.co.uk/signal-boosters/giffgaff-mobile-signal-booster and pressing the router button on the back of the device helped me
