I just got a wireless router to use with my Hughesnet modem, and it worked fine but my mom turned off the power strip that everything was plugged into and now it won't work. My dad says it's because the Ivip4IP gateway was messed up or something, and I need to change the wireless router's gateway IP to the computer's default. My question is how do I do that?

Hello and welcome to Tom's Hardware Forums.

The Default Gateway in the router is it's address through which you gain access to the settings. It can't lose that but the computer can lose association with it. Go Start to Run and type in the Open box the following, including spaces:-
cmd /k ipconfig /all
then press the Enter key. The Default Gateway will show up and that's what you input in the URL address bar in Internet Explorer to get to the settings page. If you can't get in, use that Gateway to modify the settings in the network adapter's Properties page under Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Use manual settings to match the gateway so if it was 192.168.1.1, set your IP address as 192.168.1.10, then subnet (will self-complete on a click) will be 255.255.255.0 and the 192.168.1.1 address goes in both the Default Gateway box and the Preferred DNS Server box below it.

Restart the system and see if that helped.

My friend's gateway IP is fe80::1%10 and I can not type this into the URL to get to the modem's GUI :(  . But I know his Enable IP routing is disabled. Can this be the problem ?
