Router help

I know that both Noah and Ty are working on the router project.

When you put the IP address into your web browser, you have to make sure it's the IP address of your router and not your computer.

When you do the ipconfig command in CMD, you get the IP address of your computer not the router.

To figure out the IP address of your router, we'll do it like an algebra problem (remember the most important thing when you're doing algebra is to write everything down).

First, write down the IP address of your computer.

For instance, mine is 192.168.1.9

Now put X's and Y's in for the last two numbers.

192.168.X.Y

To figure out the router address use this formula.

X=1 or 0
Y = 1 or 0

So your router address is one of these combinations.
192.168.0.0
192.168.0.1
192.168.1.0
192.168.1.1

Unless you have specifically set your router to be something else (which some people do for security reasons) it will be one of those 4 combinations.

Once we get into your routers, I'll show you how set that number so it makes it harder for people to hack - and then I'll show you how to hack it ;)

Ty, I know you were having problems with your password. If you call me later I have some ideas.
