I was port-forwarding a Minecraft server run by my PC so that me and my siblings could play together. After filling in all the fields in the port forwarding section of our ZyXel AMG1202-t10B I hit 'OK'. The web interface stopped working, and the wired connection to my PC cut off shortly after (~3min).
I went to check on my little brothers PC and he still had internet connection, and did so for 3 more hours (his PC is wired to a D-Link router which in return is wired to this ZyXEL unit).
This morning even he couldn't access the internet. I wasn't able to access the ZyXEL router interface a couple hours ago, it wouldn't let me log in with the username and password we had set. I tried using the default password and username, those didn't work either.
Shortly after, I reset the ZyXEL router/modem unit from the physical button using a paperclip. Now when viewing 'ipconfig /all' from CMD, I notice that it is completely missing the default gateway for Ethernet. The subnet mask has also changed from yesterday. I am now unable to login to the ZyXEL router web interface because I don't have an ip address to connect to. The default ip doesn't work either.
I have some understanding what could've gone wrong, I might have given the port-forwarded server the same address as something else in my network, thus making the ZyXEL router/modem unit confused.
How do I get access to the router interface now? What did I do? How do I fix it? When answering keep in mind: I know little to nothing about networking. Thank you already!
