Cannot connect to router interface: connection refused

Known fact:

1. The router sticker says interface is 192.168.0.100, however my Mac has an IP 10.10.2.86 and says my router has an IP 10.10.1.1

2. (When connected the router using a wire) I ping 192.168.0.100:

   request timeout.

   When I ping 10.10.1.1:

   64 bytes from 10.10.1.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.055 ms

3. (Wired) I attempt to visit 10.10.1.1, I get:

   ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.

4. The router is Netgear N150 Access Point WN604.

Troubleshooting

1. I reset and restarted the router. The SSID of it changes to default NETGEAR_11ng, password gone, the above facts remain true. Still cannot visit its interface.

Cannot connect to router interface

You are using the wrong IP Address, try 192.168.0.230.

Cannot Connect to the Access Point to Configure It

Check these items:

• The access point is correctly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered on. Check that the LAN port LED is green to verify that the Ethernet connection is OK.

• The default configuration of the WN604 is for a static IP address of 192.168.0.230 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 with DHCP disabled. Make sure your network configuration settings are correct.

• If you are using the NetBIOS name of the access point to connect, ensure that your computer and the access point are on the same network segment or that there is a WINS server on your network.

• If your computer is set to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP client), restart it.

• If your computer uses a fixed (static) IP address, ensure that it is using an IP address in the range of the WN604. The access point default IP address is 192.168.0.230, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
