Fix 2: Now, the second step! The router’s default IP will only work if you have placed the Netgear router near to your modem and connected them properly via Ethernet source.

Connect the Netgear router and modem using an Ethernet source! This means, I to be placed closer to each other. And, there is only one socket and another one is in another room. Although I have 2-3 wall plugs in every room but at a distance. How can make the Ethernet connection between the devices be successful? A wireless connection will not work in this case because I have received a lot of signal interference once. So, what to do?

These queries seem similar to yours, aren’t they? Why worry then? The answer to your queries is in two words “use extension”. After using the extension, hopefully, now the Ethernet connection between your devices is possible, right?

Note: If still 192.168.1.0 IP is not working for you, then why don’t you use 10.0.0.1 IP? Both of the mentioned IPs work in the same manner.
