Common Mistake: 192.168.1.254.1 vs 192.168.1.254

A frequent error is typing 192.168.1.254.1 instead of 192.168.1.254. IPv4 addresses contain exactly four numbers separated by dots. 192.168.1.254.1 is not a valid IP address and will not load any page. Always use http://192.168.1.254.

Caution: A factory reset erases ALL custom settings - your Wi-Fi name, password, and port forwarding rules will all be lost. Only reset as a last resort.
