Initial Set Up Help Please

I will start off to say I am really not technical.

I bought a router yesterday (GL-AR300M-EXT). Its plugged in as directed. The issue is I cannot connect to the initial settings site which keeps coming up as unavailable (http://192.168.8.1). Any work around? I leave for a cruise vacation this evening which is the only reason I purchased.

What router did you buy?

Well first try holding down the reset button with the router plugged in for 10 seconds, and it should reset the configuration and you can try again to access the web interface.

If this still doesn’t work, then do this please:

docs.gl-inet.com

Debrick via Uboot - GL.iNet Docs

Documentation for GL.iNet Productions

And use this firmware file:

The problem was he was not connected to the router. Seems problems solved.
