ADSL Modem/WiFi Router --> WiFi Router/Switch

Hi,
Till last month end, I had BSNL Broadband. Used - NETGEAR ADSL Modem / Wifi Router for accessing Internet. Because of poor service by BSNL, I surrendered this connection and acquired Wi5 FIXED Wireless connection.
I used to access and administer the Modem to my whims and fancies !! Full control over my Modem and who access it.

I did not want to buy a new Wireless Router for this connection. So I managed to convert my ADSL Modem into a simple Wifi Router.

Now, I am unable to access the Modem through normal procedure. How to access my modem now?
How to identify the IP Address of the Modem through my PC/Laptop?

Any Idea?

Since you mentioned that you are using your ADSL modem as the router (bridged mode I suppose), all you need to do to access it is to get to know the default gateway.

Go to command prompt, (Start->Run. Type "cmd" here, click okay)
Once the black screen with the scripts comes, type "ipconfig", and enter.
You will see "Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1" (This number is assumed). Note down this number, and copy this in the address bar of Internet Explorer/Chrome, and press enter.

You should now be able to see the routers configuration page.

Cheers!
Nevin.

Hi,

Can you please let me know the procedure used for converting the ADSL modem/router to normal wifi router. Please give in detail.

Just connect the LAN cable from the modem to any of the 4 ports (for connecting PC's). Prior to this configure the ADSL modem as bridged mode in the settings.
