Lost my routers IP address

I have a similar issue, there is no reset button.

My modem with dhcp server is 192.168.1.1.

This connects to my router's wan port with dhcp switched on and a static ip setting which is set at my modems IP address.

So the internet does bridge through my routers Lan port. However i cant get access to my router admin.

If i recall i last changed the LAN IP of my router to 192.168.1.40 and my WAN IP to 192.168.10.6.

If anyone has any ideas as to how to get access to my router, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Open a command prompt (run then type "CMD" hit enter) and then type "ipconfig" then hit enter and it will list your default gateway which should be your routers IP..

Ikraam_1 :

These are very unusual settings. The WAN IP is normally set by the ISP or if it is fixed, it is a public address not one that begins with 192.168. If you changed the router LAN IP to 192.168.1.40 that that is where you will find it. The DHCP service should be provided by the router rather than the modem, unless they are integrated, as is the case with some DSL routers. So some more details on the equipment would be helpful.

Your computers should plug into the LAN ports on the router. Then do as utroz says. If that doesn't work, consider resetting the router to factory settings and reconfigure it again.

It would be helpful if you provide the model number of all modems and routers used, also you mention a bridged connection, please provide details, i.e. a modem/router combo that is bridged to a standard router??
