install problem tl-mr3020 v1 - can't connect to 192.168.0.254

hi
probably doing something silly but can't seem to connect to 192.168.0.254 to get install process going!

previously had an earlier version of piratebox working but had not used it for a while and wanted to try latest version.

thanks for any help!

Hi,

you should be able to check on the back side of the router, what is the stock firmware's IP address. It "should be" 192.168.0.254, but please double-check.

Are you connecting via cable? Can you make a connection at all? Make sure your computer either has an appropriate static IP address OR that it uses DHCP to get an address from the router itself.

hi thx for reply;
when i first installed latest version of piratebox, and tried to get install process running by trying to connect to default address connection kept resetting. then read maybe a failsafe install might be worth doing, did that but still no luck!

did you do an upgrade?
Only on a fresh TPlink firmware the IP is 192.168.0.254

hi yes initially i tried upgrade.
how do i identify correct ip?
thx
