I am trying to log into my router which was set up by the cable company. I have a new router which I am trying to apply the same settings to since it has a particular setup with our server.

It seems the IP address of the router was changed since I cannot get in with the standard 192.168.x.x.

An ipconfig gives an address of 169.254.233.38 and default gateway of 0.0.0.0 Apr -a gives 169.254.233.38 and 169.254.255.255

All I want to do is log onto the router without doing a reset. Any suggestions?

Not that it should matter, but its a belkin.

You aren't connecting to the router's DHCP service at all. Addresses starting with 169.254 are self-assigned by clients when they can't get an assigned address. So there's no way to configure the router, because there's no route to it.

Is this a wired connection? Do the ports you're plugged in to have green status lights at each end? Try a different wired port on the router, or a different cable.

If it's a wireless connection and you are actually connecting with Wi-Fi, then it's probably something wrong with the router. Try cycling the power.

If none of this works, look up your specific router model number in a search engine, and find the manual. There will be instructions for resetting it to the factory default state, after which you should be able to connect to and configure it.
