Re: How to make Plusnet Hub Two an access point?

OK, thanks for all your help but none of this worked.

I realised that I was unable to save any changes on the router at all, despite being able to do so in the past.

I gave up trying for several days, but just had a thought and it worked.

I had been using Chrome browser to access the router. For some reason I decided to try and access it in incognito mode and it saved the changes!

I've no idea why it worked, but thought I'd let you know.

Surely there is a typo in the "Accepted fix" post from Baldrick1 in this chat?

Baldrick1 says: 

Change the IP Address from 192.168.1.254 to an unused address in the 192.168.1.2-63 range, say, 92.168.1.10

And you should note, 92.168.1.10 is NOT in the range 192.168.1.2-63. It is obviously wrong.

I am pretty sure that Baldrick meant to say something like:

Change the IP Address from 192.168.1.254 to an unused address in the 192.168.1.2-63 range, say, 192.168.1.10

He seems to have left off the 1 of 192.
(I've made it larger to stand out).

This must have confused and caused failure for several people reading this solution. 

I am confident that this will work if you follow the correct instructions. I have done it several times as part of my job using routers from different suppliers. I'll have a go myself as I have some weak spots in my WiFi coverage.

@PatMcT  As you say yourself .... "It is obviously wrong"   and I would hazard a guess that 99.9% of users would immediately realise it is a typo.
