How to access router after Bitdefender box installed?

KC244 · December 2020

Hi. Before I add Bitdefender BOX 2, my router can be accessed by going to 192.168.0.1 or x.x.1.0 for my Tp-Link Router. After I installed the Bitdefender BOX 2, I am no longer able to access it. Please advise. Thanks.

Reason I want to access the router is because I want to hide a network from being visible to people.

Hi, just for my understanding: you have two routers? In different sub-networks? Or just one router connected to two subnetworks?

Does your complete network setup look like this: ISP <---> router <---> BB2 <---> all your other devices?

Who provides the WiFi in your network, the router(s), BB2 or some APs behind BB2=

For your question: can you ping the router(s)?

Best, Nailman

I have similar issue as KC244.

My set up is ISP (Spectrum) provided cable modem <--> BB2 <--> Asus router in AP/bridge mode <--> all other devices.

Does running the router in Access point/bridge mode make it unavailable? I didn't expect to not even be able to access the router again. I haven't been able to bring up the router's admin web page since having this setup.

I've tried connecting both on wireless and by connecting the computer to the router via Ethernet. I can ping the router address successfully, but it isn't the 192.168… address that it was before. Now it starts with 172.
