Cannot access the admin interface of my router
After running the installation script in a pristine setup, the wifi extension works fine, but I cannot access the admin interface of my router (the one I'm extending), at http://192.168.1.1/. I can ping the address, but the browser "can’t establish a connection to the server at 192.168.1.1."
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ifconfig
wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.110 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255
wlan1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.27 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255
Yes, I changed the wlan0 address to 192.168.1.110, for compatibility with my previous setup.
This is from a connected computer:
$ traceroute www.cnn.com
traceroute to www.cnn.com (151.101.193.67), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

@thewh1teagle can you check this out?
@autarkper From what device you try to access the router page? What's the IP address of that device? Can you try to connect some device to repeater (eg. your phone), and set in that device static IP adress in the IP range of your router, and then try again to access the admin page?
I was trying to access the router page from my laptop. I'm not sure about the address; it could have been 192.168.1.101, which is the one I have configured in the router.
Sad to say, I have by now overwritten the image containing this setup, so I cannot try out your suggestion.
