- Try pinging your router by opening command prompt (console) and typing ping 192.168.100.1?
- If your router does not respond to ping, then make sure your router IP is indeed 192.168.100.1?
- Check is your network interface disabled on your computer?

- If ping responds and your are still having the issues, try reseting your routers by plugging it out of electricity and than plugging it back.
- If after reset, ping shows that router is online, but you still can’t open router control panel by typing its address in the browser address bar than check the technical manual of your router to see is there any port number required? Some routers require to enter port in the following format ROUTERIP:PORT e.g. 192.168.100.1:2080.
