OK I cannot for the life of me work this one out, and Google is not helping as all searches point me to a very very similar, but different problem.
I have a pretty intricate home network as we are in a new house with hard wired ethernet ports all over. We have a modem/router upstairs providing Wi-Fi to the house. Range is crap downstairs so I found an (almost?) identical netgear router (which I think is just a router - not a modem) so I have installed that downstairs functioning as a switch in the downstairs living room (to connect the amp, set top box, Foxtel, PS4 etc) but also double as creating a different downstairs access point so you can get good service downstairs.
Problem is, it was set up in our old joint doing the same job and Iāve forgotten the Wi-Fi password. The Wi-Fi network exists but I need to work out the password. I know the standard response, wack 192.168.0.1 into Chrome but that brings me to the settings for the main modem/router and not this ādumbā one thatās just a switch and Wi-Fi point. Iāve taken a laptop to this specific box, plugged it straight in via ethernet and put in both 192.168.0.1 and the recommended (on the sticker on the unit) 192.168.1.1 and got nothing. Iāve also tried on my desktop 192.168.0.1-30 and got all sorts of things such as printers etc but no netgear router.

Just reset the whole router. Start from scratch.
Also, pour water on it as itās probably thirsty.

Is it weird that I was going to post basically the same thing?
Using Windows 7, just started using Music Bee as a Windows Media Player alternative. Really good.
Play/Pause on my Microsoft keyboard worked fine in WMP, and it actually works fine in MusicBee, but despite it playing/pausing when using it in MB does the same thing as pressing it when nothing is open as well - which is open iTunesā¦
In other words every time I press it when WMP isnāt open (which I no longer use) ā¦ iTunes opens?
Thereās a āMicrosoft Keyboardā app on my PC but it just says that that button plays/pauses media. Also looked in iTunes and found nothing in settings. Been Googling like crazy but all results are about unbinding play/pause to iTunes for Macs/their keyboards/running OSX.
Thatās probably it. When you installed itunes it became the default handler. Follow the links and you can change the defaults which will assist with the hotkeys on the keyboard as well. From memory the microsoft keyboard hotkeys simply opens default media player as opposed to open program x.
Thanks SN, donāt think it worked, I gave MB everything it wanted (all associations it can handle) but still does it. Also found some settings in MB for binding hotkeys and tried play/pause hotkey with āglobalā both ticked and unticked and the same happened both ways.
Actually I just found the setting in that area to explicitly change default Media Player to MB and it didnāt fix itā¦ damnā¦
EDIT: But now unticked āallow access to this programā and it works, but although iTunes is installed I canāt use it anymore unless I find it in c:// etc. Thatās fine though I only need it rarely for syncing Music to iPad.
As for the OP, still havenāt worked it out. Command prompt ipconfig takes me to the main modem/router. Reset it using the pinhole thing, which wiped the Wi-Fi (canāt find it with a phone etc). so it worked, but still doesnāt mean I can find it on the network. So fkg annoying.

turn off the āmainā router for the purpose of this test, just connect via wifi to the other one, run ipconfig
