New AX1800 user here. Also my first experience with GL.iNet product and OpenWRT.
I’m able to connect to AX1800 and get online to internet on my Win10 PC. But doing the same on my Win11 PC is a total fail. Not able to connect to the web Admin Panel (v4.4.6) via http://192.168.8.1/ - instead getting “http://192.168.8.1/ is unreachable” message.
I know MS made a lot of changes to WIn11 networking vs Win10 and suspect there’s a setting(s) somewhere in Win11 that’s causing this. Behaves exactly as though the ethernet cable was not connected, but that is not the case. Tried the included cable and my own certified/tested cable with same result. So not a cable issue. Also, AX1800 has power on.
I tried LAN port 1 & 3. Did not try port 2. Why ‘2’?? Is that documented somewhere? If so, I missed it. ‘First Time Setup’ says “Connect your computer to the LAN port of the router via Ethernet cable.” Does not specify a specific port #.
is there any difference between your 2 setup apart from win 10 and 11 ? are you using the same LAN port, LAN cable? have you try “network reset” on your win11 pc(its in the Settings => Network & internet => Advanced network settings => Network reset)?
AFAIK, the WIn10/Win11 network settings are the same except for the device IP address. But have not compared the network settings in detail. And I should note all is well when using my prior router (TP-Link AC1900 Archer A9) which I’ve been using since Dec 2020.
Its highly probable that you set your static LAN IP to 192.168.0.1 and forgot about it thats why it was working for TP-Link and not for GL Inet since GL uses a different IP gateway. Just make it dynamic again by going to ETH adapter settings and use dynamic / auto.
