How to access Router home page - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello anyone can tell me please how do I access the router home page Google Chrome doesn't work , I think only old version of Firefox work ? Can anyone advice any app that I can access that page from ?

,What router, from what ISP? This will not be a universal issue,
I have a problem like that at the moment. I'm a Spectrum customer, with one of their Ubee routers. I had to get it replaced with a new model. The new ome cannot be accessed from my desktop, regardless of the browser I use. It can only be accessed from an app on a mobile devise. I'm having age related vision issues, and can't use the mobile app because I can't see it well enough. I need to put the router config page on the 23" monitor on my desktop PC to be able to make changes. I can't do so. I may need to get a third party router that does not impose that limitation.

It's a universal issue because all browser has blocked this IP bagel from all browsers starting 2021 I believe also the way to access it which I know of is downloading old version of Firefox and it works mine is We router from TE Data but I'm pretty sure this issue is universal

[Q] Accessing local intranet

Running Vanilla AOSP Gingerbread 2.3.3, finally managed to get this thing to talk to the local network here at work (it's PEAP authenticated, TnT Lite won't see it).
Now I'm running into the issue of not being able to access local intranet sites with my browser. Instead if just takes me to google search.
Running Dolphin HD right now. Any ideas? I'd really like to use this tablet at work to access the local intranet. If it won't do it, that's going to be a problem.
I would download the program ipconfig from the market and make sure you are getting the correct ip information on your network. Getting the incorrect DNS server can cause this issue. You can also downlond ping from the market and try to ping the internal web address. Just a troubleshooting step that I would starti with.
I was able to ping it using the Terminal Emulator, so that is working at least.
Well...I am getting my Gtab deliverred via fedex tomorrow and will be able to test my local intranet sites with the same setup and hopefully be a little more helpful. I will keep you posted with what I find,
Ok, I was wrong, I can't ping. I was pinging a server that is exposed on the external internet (Oops). The internal-only servers are unreachable. The DNS servers, though, are correct.
This is interesting.
From home I can access my work email through Exchange for Android, no problems. However now that I'm online at work and on the internal network, it doesn't work. I suspect it's because it's on the internal intranet now instead of trying to route to it through the internet.
I suspect that, while Vanilla 2.3.3 AOSP supports PEAP, it doesn't really support PEAP.
A large number of corporate networks use a proxy server; check into that.

This one doesn't, as far as I can tell.
My iPhone connects to it fine, other people are able to access it with iPads and Android phones.
I'd ask IT for help, but we're technically not supposed to be using it.

Had the same problem and it turned out to be the Proxy settings.
Got it working.
Now running VEGAn 5.11 and it connects just fine. Not having the issues with the email anymore, either. However some of the intranet sites only pull up if I know the IP directly, apparently the browser has a hard time with port redirection on the URL (it doesn't care for 'evolutionsc:8080' very much at all).
Now I just need to find a browser that can handle JIRA without formatting issues.

I seem to be having the same problem but I honestly don't know how to update the proxy settings for my work network (which does use a proxy server). I'm using Vegan 511, anyone know how to specify a proxy server for the network connection to use? I can't find anything in the wireless&network settings area.

Hotspot problems - Cannot use hotspot from laptp

I have full 3G signal on my Samsung Galaxy S2, and I can easily use the browser on the phone to browse, as well as I am connected to Skype.
However the hotspot I am creating does not work for my laptop.
- My computer is connecting and gets an ip
- The android phone is still working
- I can create Open network or WPA2 PSK, yet none do any difference
- Even if I receive an ip address on the laptop, it still wont let me browse. It wont even let me browse on ip's, so its not even a DNS error.
I am out of options at the moment and I cant figure out what to do from here. I cant seem to find any solution anywhere, so XDA is my best hope.
And I even tested this from 2 different computers. One running Win XP another Win 7. None of them were able to connect (past) the hotspot.

There's some weird behavior on the native hotspot function. Are you using WPA2 encryption? Does it work with no encryption? (this is typical)
I read somewhere if you are using WPA2 encryption, and use an 8 digit password (must be digits - no letters, and has to be 8 long, exactly), then it will work.
did it ever work before? Is it possible that your carrier blocks tethering? Does usb tethering work?
It did not work with: no encryption either
However I will try now to see if it will work with WPA2 and 8 digits only.
Do you know of any app that allows me to fine tune the hotspot settings on the phone? I want to select more options than the two it gives me at the moment.
EDIT: Haha this is so insanely stupid. I am talking to Orange UK at the moment and apparently they have BLOCKED tethering!!! I am already paying for a 500MB package on my subscription but this does not include tethering. I have to pay another 4£ for 500MB which will be specifically for tethering. WTF! They are selling the same product twice????
EDIT 2: They are telling me that this is an Android block installed by Orange. Question is how I can get around this and use my existing 500MB. Does anyone know how this can be solved?

Yeah, lots of carriers do this stupidity. Just root and install wireless tether for root users.

Question with WiFi hotspot

hi, I have a weird question. I currently have ATT DSL service at home. I am curious is there anyway that I can use my existing free WiFi account from my DSL with my phone or tablets?
thanks
Do you mean connect to your home wifi with your phone?
That's easy, just turn on wifi in Settings and connect to your home network.
oh no, what i mean is if I am on the go, I will e able to get WiFi access on these mobile hotspots using my existing DSL account. I konw that with ATT DSL, they provide us free WiFi access on our laptops. I am curious if that can also be used on my mobile device like phone and tablets.
The reaons I ask is because I do not currently have any data plan on my phone so I cannot use any of the phone's hotspot feature. So I am thinking if I can just use DSL accoutn for WiFi so I can still access the net via my phone or tablet as oppose to laptops.
I think I know what you mean now.
If you sign in through the browser on a laptop then you can probably do the same thing with your phone browser.
If they try to block mobile devices you might have to use desktop mode in your browser.

thank you for the reply. Mmh, I do not think that it works as it will not display the log in screen. I will try the desktop version to see if it works.
anyone has tries this?
When I connect to a wifi network that requires web page login, as soon as I connect, it tells me I have to login and you can tap it and it will take you to the web page.

Internet working with browser, but not with apps

Hi Guys,
I have 3 android devices (xperia s, htc one x and a galaxy s3) connected to a wifi network. This is kind of a protected network and there is a firewall involved. Also the devices are getting IP via DHCP. The problem is that i am able to access web site via browser but when i try from the application, its showing i don't have internet connection. There is no proxy configured in this network. There is an IP filtering in the router which filters the IPs starting with a particular series. But the web site and the application which i am trying to use are supposed to use this IP series.
I've come across issues with internet connections on mobile devices. This might not work for you, but it has worked for me in the past.
I assume your devices detect all of the settings you need automatically?
If so, you may need to manually change some things.
1) Check your IP and make sure it's set right for your network
2) Check your DNS settings. Sometimes the default ones don't work properly.
Try:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
These are from Google's OpenDNS and have served me well in the past.
If all else fails, check the network itself.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply.. but as i mentioned earlier, the device is getting IP and other stuffs via DHCP. I am not allowed to configure something statically. It has to come via DHCP. But the interesting fact is that an iPAD in the same network is able to get internet in both browser as well as applications.
Hey, if you need to get settings via DHCP then you should talk to your network admin for the settings

I am getting all the settings perfectly.. hope haven't read my first post.. i am able to browse via browser.. the problem is with the apps.. that y am confused about.. i know this kind of a problem may arise when we have a proxy configured in the network.. but we dont have a proxy in the network.. in fact an ipad hooked up to the same network works totally fine..
Did you get your apps working?
Nope..still facing the same issue.. internet is available in browser. but not in the apps..
There is no problem with your phone. I am sure that changing your router will fix this problem. Try another router with your internet connection and tell me if that worked.
Press thanks if I helped you!
We have tried that as well.. The situation got little worse with the new router. Now Internet is not working with ipad as well. But it's working in browser for both ipad and android. Another thing I have observed is that the Web pages load blazing fast in a windows and blackberry but the same site loads very slow in android and ios. As I mentioned earlier, the network is having a high security with firewall and encryption. Is there any limitations for android and ios to work with these kind of highly secure network??

I think that the firewall is the main culprit. Try disabling the firewall if you can.

Ya.. even i feel the same... but its a secure network and firewall is a vital part.. so we cant disable it.. is there any known limitations for android to work with firewall or networks with these kind of setup.
Just mess with WiFi settings

Hi - I was experiencing this on a Galaxy Nexus with no SIM card only connected to WiFi - on a WiFi router that used to work.
The solution was to
1. Open up DHCP settings on the phone (Settings -> WiFi -> My Network -> Advanced)
2. Manually set them to something that's wrong.
3. Save.
4. Set DHCP back to what it was.
5. Save.
May not work for you, but for me, after about 30 seconds the app store and other apps started working again without having to do a factory reset or doing anything to my router/network.
Let me know if this helped!

No VPN sorry no WiFi

Hi there,
I am building a home router on some decent pc hardware. I do this only to have a router with enough power to support decent encrypted vpn connections.
What I need to know is the following.
Is there a way to let an android device connect to WiFi -only- if the vpn is working?
This is tricky I guess. There has to be a WiFi connection otherwise the device cannot contact a vpn server.
But the point is that I don't want my users (wife and to lovely boys aging three and five) to connect to the Internet (via wifi) without any decent encryption.
I don't want to use a vpn service. I do this at home with the power router I build.
If I must pay for an app that does this than please suggest that. I love to pay for a good app that does what I want.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Many thanks,
Sebastiaan.
You could use Tasker to kill their mobile data at home (depending on the phone, ROM, root, etc,) and then if the *only* Wi-Fi hotspots configured on the phones are the VPN-enabled ones, then you should be fine.
At my house, I use an Asus router with VPN Fusion. I set up my Surfshark once in the core, and my entire mesh has VPN. I just go to a page to tag each device, or set default to whatever VPN I want. Some of them go to another site I use in a different state, and some use Surfshark. If my mobile data was off, I'd be totally disconnected from the evils of the internet.
Also recommend using something like Blokada, and ensure you have always-on VPN set to either that, or another service. You can definitely set it so Android pulls that up on boot. That being said, in the case of rebooting the phone away from home, I'd imagine there's some period of time that the stuff on your device could hit the regular internet. That's where something like Blokada comes in handy. I use it to block as many google servers as I can, while still having some of those apps still work to some degree.
Depending how crazy you want to get with this, you could set a static DNS on the phone that only works when the VPN tunnel is established. There are many ways to skin this cat.
