Last year, I bridged my fios g2100 router so I could use google home, and I have two questions related to accessing my settings. 1) Today, I connected directly to my bridged fios router with an ethernet cable, and tried to go to 192.168.1.1 in order to change the settings, but the webpage would not load. When I went to ipconfig in cmd, it listed a 100.x.x.1 ip, but when I entered that, that page would not load either. Is my only way to access these settings to reset the router or am I just using the wrong address? 2) Would addressing the QoS settings in the bridged router settings apply to my google home router? Changing QoS settings is my primary motivation for trying to access the fios settings.

Thank you in advance, and I'm happy to clarify anything in the post.

In bridged mode, your router is basically just a mindless switch that allows access to the main router - which is the one that handles the QoS settings. You need to make your changes on the main router instead.

Also keep in mind that your max internet bandwidth thru the Fios router is the single connection back to the main one so this may also be a point of congestion. I hope its a wired gigabit connection. :)

Ok thank you. Since google home does not have QoS, I guess I'm out of luck
